  • ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc Bipedal Robots: Modeling, Design and Walking Synthesis

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book presents various techniques to carry out the gait modeling, the gait patterns synthesis, and the control of biped robots. Some general information on the human walking, a presentation of the current experimental biped robots, and the application of walking bipeds are given. The modeling is based on the decomposition on a walking step into different sub-phases depending on the way each foot stands into contact on the ground. The robot design is dealt with according to the mass repartition and the choice of the actuators. Different ways to generate walking patterns are considered, such as passive walking and gait synthesis performed using optimization technique. Control based on the robot modeling, neural network methods, or intuitive approaches are presented. The unilaterality of contact is dealt with using on-line adaptation of the desired motion.Table of ContentsChapter 1. Bipedal Robots and Walking 1.1. Introduction 1 1.2.

    Book SynopsisOver the next twenty years, the presence of robots will dramatically increase in our daily lives. Robots will serve as maids, gardeners, companions, waiters, security guards, nurses, teachers, playmates, receptionists, chauffeurs and prostitutes – to name only a few roles they will assume. These robots will be intelligent, autonomous, communicative, emotional, and continually progressing in their abilities.This book provides an in-depth look at how American consumers will react to the significant social, economic and marketplace changes that will be brought about by the robot revolution. Our insights come from national surveys of over 2,700 Americans, as well as a thorough review of existing academic research and expert predictions. We provide suggestions for publically-acceptable robot roles, robot design and the optimal marketplace approaches for successful human-robot interactions. Ready or not, it’s coming. And sooner than you might think.

  • Springer Nature Switzerland AG Cooperating Robots for Flexible Manufacturing

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book consolidates the current state of knowledge on implementing cooperating robot-based systems to increase the flexibility of manufacturing systems. It is based on the concrete experiences of experts, practitioners, and engineers in implementing cooperating robot systems for more flexible manufacturing systems. Thanks to the great variety of manufacturing systems that we had the opportunity to study, a remarkable collection of methods and tools has emerged. The aim of the book is to share this experience with academia and industry practitioners seeking to improve manufacturing practice. While there are various books on teaching principles for robotics, this book offers a unique opportunity to dive into the practical aspects of implementing complex real-world robotic applications. As it is used in this book, the term “cooperating robots” refers to robots that either cooperate with one another or with people. The book investigates various aspects of cooperation in the context of implementing flexible manufacturing systems. Accordingly, manufacturing systems are the main focus in the discussion on implementing such robotic systems. The book begins with a brief introduction to the concept of manufacturing systems, followed by a discussion of flexibility. Aspects of designing such systems, e.g. material flow, logistics, processing times, shop floor footprint, and design of flexible handling systems, are subsequently covered. In closing, the book addresses key issues in operating such systems, which concern e.g. decision-making, autonomy, cooperation, communication, task scheduling, motion generation, and distribution of control between different devices. Reviewing the state of the art and presenting the latest innovations, the book offers a valuable asset for a broad readership. Table of ContentsPart 1: Introduction.- Chapter 1. Technology perspective.- Part 2: Cooperating robots.- Chapter 2. Flexible cooperating robots for reconfigurable shop floor.- Chapter 3. Cooperating dexterous robotic devices.- Chapter 4. Cooperative manipulation: The case of dual arm robots.- Chapter 5. Virtual validation of dynamically controlled cooperative robots systems.- PART 3: HUMAN ROBOT COLLABORATION.- Chapter 6. Workplace generation for human-robot collaboration.- Chapter 7. Dynamic safety zones in human robot collaboration.- Chapter 8. Multi-purpose robot cell in cooperation with humans.- Chapter 9.

    Book SynopsisSelektive Aufmerksamkeit ist die Fähigkeit, relevante Informationen auszuwählen und nicht relevante oder störende zu ignorieren. Diese selektive Aufmerksamkeit spielt sowohl bei der Interaktionen mit anderen Menschen, der Bewegung in der Umwelt, der Nutzung von technischen Geräten, der Planung von zielgerichteten Handlungen wie auch bei der Kontrolle von Denkprozessen eine zentrale Rolle in der menschlichen Kognition.Ein wesentliches Merkmal dieses Buches liegt darin, dass verschiedene Phänomene der selektiven Aufmerksamkeit dargestellt werden und dass das in den einzelnen Kapiteln entwickelte Wissen auf Alltagssituationen im täglichen Leben bezogen werden kann. Auch kann es zur Lösung von Problemstellungen in diversen spezifischen Bereichen, z.B. im Bereich der Ergonomie angewandt werden.Zielgruppen für dieses Werk sind Studierende und praktisch Tätige in den Kognitionswissenschaften, Neurowissenschaften, Medizin, Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle, Software-Ergonomie, Sportwissenschaften, Ingenieurwissenschaften.Zum Inhalt: Basierend auf experimentellen Methoden werden die aus der aktuellen Forschung resultierenden Erklärungsansätze vorgestellt und diskutiert. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf der Integration von kognitionspsychologischen Befunden und Modellen mit neurokognitiven Ansätzen. Dieser integrative Ansatz dient dazu, neurokortikale Korrelate von Aufmerksamkeitsphänomenen im Sinne der Aktivität spezifischer Gehirnmodule bzw. kortikaler Netzwerke zu beschreiben.Für das Verständnis des Buches unentbehrliche methodische Ansätze und theoretische Grundlagen werden im Haupttext gesondert in Textboxen herausgestellt. Für eilige Leser und für einen raschen und kurzen Überblick sind die wichtigsten Kernaussagen jeweils am Kapitelende zusammengefasstTable of ContentsGrundlagen.- Perzeptive selektive Aufmerksamkeit.- Visuelle selektive Aufmerksamkeit.- Modalitätsübergreifende Aufmerksamkeitsorientierung.- Visuelle Suche.- Die Rolle von top-down-Prozessen in Popout-Suchen.- Temporale Mechanismen der selektiven Aufmerksamkeit.- Limitationen der selektiven visuellen Aufmerksamkeit.- Neurokognitive Mechanismen der selektiven visuellen Aufmerksamkeit.- Neurokognitive Studien der selektiven Aufmerksamkeit.- Aufmerksamkeitsnetzwerke im Gehirn.- Integrative Erklärungsansätze behavioraler und neuronaler Befunde.- Handlungssteuernde Aufmerksamkeit (Aufmerksamkeit und Handlung).- Aufmerksamkeit, Automatizität und exekutive Kontrolle.- Neurokognitive Mechanismen der exekutiven Kontrolle.
