Dieses Handbuch adressiert haufig anzutreffende Defizite und Probleme bei der Digitalisierung der Automobilindustrie und entwickelt einen methodisch fundierten und praxiserprobten Leitfaden zur agilen Umsetzung. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Wandel vom fahrzeugfokussierten hin zu einem mobilitatsorientierten Geschaftsmodell. Ausgehend von den Treibern des digitalen Wandels werden vier Digitalisierungsfelder definiert und eine Roadmap zu deren Transformation vorgestellt. Der Weg hin zur automatischen...

This book provides far more detail on the hardware aspects of robot building than any other I have seen to date and is worth picking up. - R. Steven Rainwater, Robots.net This book is highly recommended as the explanations are clear, and the explanations are useful. - Colin McGregor, The Canadian Linux Users' Exchange For readers of Robot Building for Beginners (Apress, 2002), welcome to the next level! Intermediate Robot Building offers the kind of real-world knowledge that only an experience...

Machines will attain human levels of intelligence by the year 2040, predicts robotics expert Hans Moravec. And by 2050, they will have far surpassed us. In this mind-bending new book, Hans Moravec takes the reader on a roller coaster ride packed with such startling predictions. He tells us, for instance, that in the not-too-distant future, an army of robots will displace workers, causing massive, unprecedented unemployment. But then, says Moravec, a period of very comfortable existence w...

Die Kosten der Inbetriebnahme von Neuanlagen sind erheblich, die letzte Phase der Auftragsabwicklung enthdlt gravierende Einsparpotentiale. Dieses Buch systematisiert und erldutert die Aufgaben in Vorbereitung und Durchf]hrung der Inbetriebnahme schon wdhrend der Entwicklung, Planung und Montage. Mit Hilfe zahlreicher Checklisten und Praxisbeispiele werden Erfahrungen und entscheidende Hinweise weitergegeben, die in der praktischen Arbeit direkt umsetzbar sind. Der Autor hat das bewdhrte Werk gr...

Mit diesem Buch sollen Unterlagen bereitgestellt werden, die der Praktiker benotigt, um Op- timierungen fUr seine EntwUrfe unter Hinzuziehung von Experimenten durchzufUhren. Dazu sind experimentell Informationen von dem zu optimierenden Entwurf nach bestimmten PUmen zu gewinnen, die von Rechenmaschinen ausgewertet werden. Diese experimente-und rechnergestutzte Entwurfsoptimierung ist fUr viele technische Fachrichtungen anwendbar. Ihre StUtzung auf Experimente macht sie praxisnah. Die der Optimie...

Intelligent Mobile Robot Navigation builds upon the application of fuzzy logic to the area of intelligent control of mobile robots. Reactive, planned, and teleoperated techniques are considered, leading to the development of novel fuzzy control systems for perception and navigation of nonholonomic autonomous vehicles. The unique feature of this monograph lies in its comprehensive treatment of the problem, from the theoretical development of the various schemes down to the real-time implementatio...

This updated second edition broadens the explanation of rotational kinematics and dynamics - the most important aspect of rigid body motion in three-dimensional space and a topic of much greater complexity than linear motion. It expands treatment of vector and matrix, and includes quaternion operations to describe and analyze rigid body motion which are found in robot control, trajectory planning, 3D vision system calibration, and hand-eye coordination of robots in assembly work, etc. It feature...

This volume contains the proceedings of the 26th International Conference on Robotics in Alpe-Adria-Danube Region, RAAD 2017, held at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy, from June 21-23, 2017. The conference brought together academic and industrial researchers in robotics from 30 countries, the majority of them affiliated to the Alpe-Adria-Danube Region, and their worldwide partners. RAAD 2017 covered all major areas of R&D and innovation in robotics, including the latest research trends...

This book introduces a new framework for non-linear analysis and control of intelligent machines such as robot arms, mechanical hands, and other advanced mechatronic systems. It clarifies the physical and mathematical prinicples underlying the complicated dynamics of non-linear mechanical systems and deals with the design of controllers that enable sophisticated tasks to be executed. A new concept called `non-linear position-dependent circuits' plays a crucial role, together with passivity ana...

This book is a self-contained text devoted to the numerical determination of optimal inputs for system identification. It presents the current state of optimal inputs with extensive background material on optimization and system identification. The field of optimal inputs has been an area of considerable research recently with important advances by R. Mehra, G. c. Goodwin, M. Aoki, and N. E. Nahi, to name just a few eminent in- vestigators. The authors' interest in optimal inputs first developed...

This book brings together five topics on the application of Boolean functions. They are:1. Equivalence classes of Boolean functions: The number of n-variable functions is large, even for values as small as n = 6, and there has been much research on classifying functions. There are many classifications, each with their own distinct merit.2. Boolean functions for cryptography: The process of encrypting/decrypting plaintext messages often depends on Boolean functions with specific properties. For e...

Stochastic control theory is a relatively young branch of mathematics. The beginning of its intensive development falls in the late 1950s and early 1960s. During that period an extensive literature appeared on optimal stochastic control using the quadratic performance criterion (see references in W onham [76J). At the same time, Girsanov [25J and Howard [26J made the first steps in constructing a general theory, based on Bellman's technique of dynamic programming, developed by him somewhat earli...

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the development and present state of the theory of sensitivity of dynamic systems. It is intended as a textbook and reference for researchers and scientists in electrical engineering, control and information theory as well as for mathematicians. The extensive and structured bibliography provides an overview of the literature in the field and points out directions for further research.

Asynchronous Sequential Machine Design and Analysis provides a lucid, in-depth treatment of asynchronous state machine design and analysis presented in two parts: Part I on the background fundamentals related to asynchronous sequential logic circuits generally, and Part II on self-timed systems, high-performance asynchronous programmable sequencers, and arbiters. Part I provides a detailed review of the background fundamentals for the design and analysis of asynchronous finite state machines (F...
