Robotics Automation and Control

Edited by: Pavla Pecherkova, Miroslav Flidr and Jindrich Dunik

ISBN 978-953-7619-18-3, Hard cover, 494 pages
Publisher: InTech
Publication date: October 2008
Subject: Robotics and Automation

This book was conceived as a gathering place of new ideas from academia, industry, research and practice in the fields of robotics, automation and control. The aim of the book was to point out interactions among various fields of interests in spite of diversity and narrow specializations which prevail in the current research. The common denominator of all included chapters appears to be a synergy of various specializations. This synergy yields deeper understanding of the treated problems. Each new approach applied to a particular problem can enrich and inspire improvements of already established approaches to the problem.
