Microrobotics for Micromanipulation
Wiley 2013; US$ 215.00Microrobotics for Micromanipulation presents for the first time, in detail, the sector of robotics for handling objects of micrometer dimensions. At these dimensions, the behavior of objects is significantly different from the better known, higher scales, which leads us to implement solutions sometimes radically different from those most commonly... more...
Practical LEGO Technics
Springer 2013; US$ 20.99You already know you can create amazing things with LEGO, but did you know you can also make vehicles that roll and model plans that include landing gear and flaps that actually extend and retract? You can even make functional robots without getting into Mindstorms and programming. In Practical LEGO Technics, Mark Rollins shows you how to... more...
Omnidirectional Vision Systems
Springer 2013; US$ 29.95This work focuses on central catadioptric systems, from the early step of calibration to high-level tasks such as 3D information retrieval. The book opens with a thorough introduction to the sphere camera model, along with an analysis of the relation between this model and actual central catadioptric systems. Then, a new approach to calibrate any single-viewpoint... more...
Roboterwesen bauen und programmieren
Verlagsgruppe Hüthig Jehle Rehm 2012; US$ 23.72Hauptbeschreibung In diesem Buch zeigt der Autor von Grund auf, wie man einen eigenen LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Roboter baut und programmiert. In jedem Kapitel wird ein vollständiger Roboter erstellt. Dabei werden die Modelle von Kapitel zu Kapitel mit zusätzlichen Fähigkeiten ausgestattet bis hin zur Interaktion mit Menschen sowie zwischen Robotern untereinander.... more...

Intrinsically Motivated Learning in Natural and Artificial Systems
Springer 2012; US$ 119.99It has become clear to researchers in robotics and adaptive behaviour that current approaches are yielding systems with limited autonomy and capacity for self-improvement. To learn autonomously and in a cumulative fashion is one of the hallmarks of intelligence, and we know that higher mammals engage in exploratory activities that are not directed... more...
Synergetic Agents
Wiley 2012; US$ 185.00This book addresses both multi robot systems and miniaturization to the nanoscale from a unifying point of view, but without leaving aside typical particularities of either. The unifying aspect is based on the concept of information minimization whose precise formulation is the Haken-Levi-principle. The authors introduce basic concepts of multi-component... more...
Believable Bots
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99We share our modern world with bots chatbots to converse with, roombots to clean our houses, spambots to fill our e-mail inboxes, and medibots to assist our surgeons. This book is about computer game bots, virtual companions who accompany us in virtual worlds or sharpen our fighting skills. These bots must be believable, that is human players... more...
A Practical Design of Lumped, Semi-lumped & Microwave Cavity Filters
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99This book presents the application of microwave literature for designing lumped/semi-lumped filters and combline/iris-coupled microwave cavity filters. It provides the physical understanding of the terms and characteristics of radio frequency (RF) filters. The book complements engineering text books on RF components and provides support for the project... more...
Redundancy in Robot Manipulators and Multi-Robot Systems
Springer 2012; US$ 139.99The trend in the evolution of robotic systems is that the number of degrees of freedom increases. This is visible both in robot manipulator design and in the shift of focus from single to multi-robot systems. Following the principles of evolution in nature, one may infer that adding degrees of freedom to robot systems design is beneficial. However,... more...
