"Author Lee Gutkind introduces us to Zoe, Groundhog, Grace, and Sandstorm - all of whom are robots designed to help humans or, in some cases, to replace them." "This realm of robots is controlled by engineers and software designers - the backbone of the robotics field. Gutkind j…
Could robots be genuinely intelligent? Could they be conscious? Could there be zombies? Prompted by these questions Robert Kirk introduces the main problems of consciousness and sets out a new approach to solving them. He starts by discussing behaviourism, Turing's test of intel…
Nonlinear control of vehicles and robots
by Lantos, Béla, Màrton, Lőrinc
fromAdvances in industrial control
Tracking of autonomous vehicles and the high-precision positioning of robotic manipulators require advanced modeling techniques and control algorithms. Controller design should take into account any model nonlinearities. Nonlinear Control of Vehicles and Robots develops a unifie…
