Advances in Robotics, Automation and Control

Edited by: Jesus Aramburo and Antonio Ramirez Trevino

ISBN 978-953-7619-16-9, Hard cover, 472 pages
Publisher: InTech
Publication date: October 2008
Subject: Robotics and Automation

The book presents an excellent overview of the recent developments in the different areas of Robotics, Automation and Control. Through its 24 chapters, this book presents topics related to control and robot design; it also introduces new mathematical tools and techniques devoted to improve the system modeling and control. An important point is the use of rational agents and heuristic techniques to cope with the computational complexity required for controlling complex systems. Through this book, we also find navigation and vision algorithms, automatic handwritten comprehension and speech recognition systems that will be included in the next generation of productive systems developed by man.
