The mBot robotics platform is a hugely popular kit because of the quality of components and price. With hundreds of thousands of these kits out there in homes, schools and makerspaces, there is much untapped potential. Getting Started with mBots is for non-technical parents, kids and teachers who want to start with a robust robotics platform and then take it to the next level. The heart of the mBot, the mCore is a powerful Arduino based microcontroller that can do many things without soldering o...

The 2006 Economic and Product Market Databook for Sheffield, United Kingdom
by Philip M. Parker
Cooperative Control (Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences, #309)
Are there universal principles of coordinated group motion and if so what might they be? This carefully edited book presents how natural groupings such as fish schools, bird flocks, deer herds etc. coordinate themselves and move so flawlessly, often without an apparent leader or any form of centralized control. It shows how the underlying principles of cooperative control may be used for groups of mobile autonomous agents to help enable a large group of autonomous robotic vehicles in the air, on...

Nonlinear Control Systems Design (IFAC Symposia, v. 2)
Hardbound. In the last two decades, the development of specific methodologies for the control of systems described by nonlinear mathematical models has attracted an ever increasing interest. New breakthroughs have occurred which have aided the design of nonlinear control systems. However there are still limitations which must be understood, some of which were addressed at the IFAC Symposium in Capri. The emphasis was on the methodological developments, although a number of the papers were concer...
This book covers current technological innovations and applications in image processing, introducing analysis techniques and describing applications in remote sensing and manufacturing, among others. The authors include new concepts of color space transformation like color interpolation, among others. Also, the concept of Shearlet Transform and Wavelet Transform and their implementation are discussed. The authors include a perspective about concepts and techniques of remote sensing like image...
Human Subject Research for Engineers (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Joost C.F. de Winter and Dimitra Dodou
This Brief introduces engineers to the main principles in ethics, research design, statistics, and publishing of human subject research. In recent years, engineering has become strongly connected to disciplines such as biology, medicine, and psychology. Often, engineers (and engineering students) are expected to perform human subject research. Typical human subject research topics conducted by engineers include human-computer interaction (e.g., evaluating the usability of software), exoskeletons...
Tuning and Control Loop Performance, Fourth Edition
by Gregory K. McMillan
Machine Vision and Mechatronics in Practice
The contributions for this book have been gathered over several years from conferences held in the series of Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice, the latest of which was held in Ankara, Turkey. The essential aspect is that they concern practical applications rather than the derivation of mere theory, though simulations and visualization are important components. The topics range from mining, with its heavy engineering, to the delicate machining of holes in the human skull or robots for...
Preparing for the Future of Artificial Intelligence
by Executive Office of the President and National Science and Tech On Technology
Fuzzy Logic - das bedeutet mehr Flexibilität in der Automatisierungstechnik, Regelungstechnik, Logistik und Elektrotechnik. Die Grundlagen der vielversprechenden Technologie werden in diesem einführenden Lehrbuch aufgezeigt. Für Leser, die nicht nur die Potentiale erkennen wollen, sondern sich für die praktische Umsetzung interessieren. Die zweite Auflage wurde um einen Aufgabenteil erweitert.
This new book provides a total solution for learning and teaching embedded system design based on the Freescale HCS12/9S12 microcontroller. Readers will learn step-by-step how to program the HCS12 using both assembly and C languages, as well as how to use such development tools as CodeWarrior, ImageCraft ICC12, MiniIDE, GNU C, and EGNU IDE. Supportive examples clearly illustrate all applications of the HCS12 peripheral functions, including parallel port, timer functions, PWM, UART port, SPI, I2C...
This book is concerned with the development of the understanding of the relational structures of information, knowledge, decision-choice processes of problems and solutions in the theory and practice regarding diversity and unity principles of knowing, science, non-science, and information-knowledge systems through dualistic-polar conditions of variety existence and nonexistence. It is a continuation of the sequence of my epistemic works on the theories on fuzzy rationality, info-statics, info-d...
