Robotics (Academic) Books

The proposed procedures are absolutely non-invasive since they do not involve any modification of the scene; in fact no markers with features visible by both the camera and the laser, or any other device, are required. As for the first results of the new method for real time shape acquisition by a...

In modern robot-based manufacturing, the stiffness analysis becomes a critical issue. It is motivated by current trends in manipulator design that are targeted at achieving high dynamic performances with relatively small link masses and low energy consumption in actuators. These demand a revision...

A paper on the different types of machines with algorithms that allows computers to learn resembling a human approach.

The application of a promising paradigm for the analysis and synthesis of complex, multidisciplinary systems of robot manipulators.

The application of non-contact 2D and 3D shape recognition as the vision system for robotic grasping of an object.

The application of a square-integrable (real- or complex-valued) function by a certain orthonormal series generated by a wavelet and systems that convert solar radiation into thermal and electrical energy to Robotic Visual Information Processing System.

The application of robot vision in robot assembly and control processes for both research and industrial applications. This paper provides a brief overview of the most recent research efforts in the area of machine vision in assembly and control processes. Various approaches and issues relating...

Research on humanoid robots in areas related with human-robot interaction has rapidly increased recently especially for application to human living environments and emergency sites.

The demonstrations of properties on a differential drive mobile robot by localizing it in a 2D environment by using sonar ring as the perceptive sensor and in a 3D environment by using a mono camera as the perceptive sensor.

A book that discusses an original approach to improve the remote functionality of an assistive robot which is focused on assisting people through social interaction.
