Frontiers in Robotics and Electromechanics

This book introduces intellectual control systems and electromechanics of heterogeneous robots. The book uncovers fundamental principles of robot control and recent developments in software and hardware of robots. The book presents solutions and discusses problems of single robotic devices as well as heterogeneous robotic teams while performing technological tasks that require informational, physical or energetic interaction with human users, environment and other robots. The book considers model-algorithmic and software-hardware control of ground, water and underwater robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as their embedded and attached sub-systems, including manipulators, end-effectors, sensors, actuators, etc. The book will be useful for researchers of interdisciplinary issues related to robotics, electromechanics and artificial intelligence. The book is recommended for graduate students with a major/minor in the areas of robotics and mechatronics, management in technical systems, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science.

本書介紹了異質機器人的智能控制系統和電機機械學。本書揭示了機器人控制的基本原理以及軟件和硬件方面的最新發展。本書提出解決方案，並討論了單個機器人設備以及異質機器人團隊在執行需要與人類用戶、環境和其他機器人進行信息、物理或能量交互的技術任務時所面臨的問題。本書考慮了地面、水面和水下機器人、無人機以及它們的嵌入式和附加子系統（包括操縱器、末端執行器、傳感器、致動器等）的模型算法和軟件硬件控制。本書對於研究與機器人技術、電機機械學和人工智能相關的跨學科問題的研究人員非常有用。本書建議研究生專攻/副修機器人和機電一體化、技術系統管理、物聯網、人工智能、電氣工程、機械工程和計算機科學等領域的學生閱讀。
