International Encyclopedia of Robotics: Applications and Automation

Abstract

From the Publisher: This authoritative, comprehensive work spans the entire discipline of robotics, bringing together the core of knowledge from all related engineering and computer disciplines. It provides a clear understanding of robotics principles and applications in a variety of industries while correcting common misperceptions. Topics are treated from every perspective--from theory, to application, to economics and implementation, to future prospects. All articles are accessible to those outside robotics disciplines seeking current technical information in specific areas or an overview of the field. Each concludes with cross-references to other topics within the volumes and to the original literature.
