Quadrupedal Locomotion
Springer 2007; US$ 139.99Walking machines have advantages over traditional vehicles. However, their use in industry and services is limited in scope. This book presents some of the methods and techniques developed to deal with the problems that prevent legged robots being more widely used. It is useful for researchers, postgraduates and senior undergraduates in robotics. more...
Cellular Automaton Modeling of Biological Pattern Formation
Springer 2007; US$ 99.99Focuses on a challenging application field of cellular automata: pattern formation in biological systems, such as the growth of microorganisms, dynamics of cellular tissue and tumors, and formation of pigment cell patterns. This book is aimed at researchers, practitioners, and students in applied mathematics, mathematical biology, and others. more...
Distributed Embedded Control Systems
Springer 2007; US$ 149.99Very often, practical design of embedded systems lacks consistency resulting in computer control systems that do not provide the performance they should. Most notably they lack dependability, a key property now that programmed electronic devices are so pervasive, even in extremely safety-critical applications. Distributed Embedded Control Systems handles... more...
