Añadir al carritoTaschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Distributed manipulation effects motion on objects through a large number of points of contact. The primary benefit of distributed manipulators is that many small inexpensive mechanisms can move and transport large heavy objects. In fact, each individual component is simple, but their combined effect is quite powerful. Furthermore, distributed manipulators are fault-tolerant because if one component breaks, the other components can compensate for the failure and the whole system can still perform its task. Finally, distributed manipulators can perform a variety of tasks in parallel. Distributed manipulation can be performed by many types of mechanisms at different scales. Due to the recent advances of MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) technology, it has become feasible to quickly manufacture distributed micro-manipulators at low cost. One such system is an actuator array where hundreds of micro-scaled actuators transport and manipulate small objects that rest on them. Macroscopic versions of the actuator array have also been developed and analyzed. Another form of distributed manipulation is derived from a vibrating plate, and teams of mobile robots have been used to herd large objects into desired locations. There are many fundamental issues involved in distributed manipulation. Since a distributed manipulator has many actuators, distributed control strategies must be considered to effectively manipulate objects. A basic understanding of contact analysis between the actuators and object must also be considered. When each actuator in the array has a sensor, distributed sensing presents some basic research challenges. Distributed computation and communication are key issues to enable the successful deployment of distributed manipulators into use. Finally, the trade-off in centralized and de-centralized approaches in all of these algorithms must be investigated.

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: gut. Auflage: 2nd ed. 2017. The second edition of this handbook provides a state-of-the-art cover view on the various aspects in the rapidly developing field of robotics. Reaching for the human frontier, robotics is vigorously engaged in the growing challenges of new emerging domains. Interacting, exploring, and working with humans, the new generation of robots will increasingly touch people and their lives. The credible prospect of practical robots among humans is the result of the scientific endeavour of a half a century of robotic developments that established robotics as a modern scientific discipline. The ongoing vibrant expansion and strong growth of the field during the last decade has fueled this second edition of the Springer Handbook of Robotics. The first edition of the handbook soon became a landmark in robotics publishing and won the American Association of Publishers PROSE Award for Excellence in Physical Sciences & Mathematics as well as the organization's Award for Engineering & Technology. The second edition of the handbook, edited by two internationally renowned scientists with the support of an outstanding team of seven part editors and more than 200 authors, continues to be an authoritative reference for robotics researchers, newcomers to the field, and scholars from related disciplines. The contents have been restructured to achieve four main objectives: the enlargement of foundational topics for robotics, the enlightenment of design of various types of robotic systems, the extension of the treatment on robots moving in the environment, and the enrichment of advanced robotics applications. Further to an extensive update, fifteen new chapters have been introduced on emerging topics, and a new generation of authors have joined the handbook's team. A novel addition to the second edition is a comprehensive collection of multimedia references to more than 700 videos, which bring valuable insight into the contents. The videos can be viewed directly augmented into the text with a smartphone or tablet using a unique and specially designed app. Introduction: Part A Robotics FoundationsKinematics.- Dynamics.- Mechanisms and Actuation.- Sensing and Estimation.- Model Identification.- Motion Planning.- Motion Control.- Force Control.- Redundant Manipulators.- Robots with Flexible Elements.- Robotic Systems Architectures and Programming.- Behavior-Based Systems.- AI Reasoning Methods for Robotics.- Machine Learning Part B DesignDesign and Performance Evaluation.- Limbed Structures.- Parallel Mechanisms.- Robot Hands.- Snake-Like and Continuum Robots.- Soft Robots.- Modular Robots.- Biomimetic Robots.- Wheeled Robots.- Underwater Robots.- Flying Robots.- Micro/Nanorobots Part C Sensing and PerceptionForce and Tactile Sensing.- Inertial Sensing.- GPS and Odometry.- Sonar Sensing.- Range Sensing.- 3-D Vision.- Object Recognition.- Visual Servoing.- Multisensor Data Fusion Part D Manipulation and InterfacesMotion for Manipulation Tasks.- Contact Modeling and Manipulation.- Grasping.- Cooperative Manipulation.- Mobility and Manipulation.- Haptics.- Active Manipulation for Perception.- Telerobotics.- Networked Robots Part E Moving in the EnvironmentWorld Modeling.- Simultaneous Localization and Mapping.- Motion Planning and Obstacle Avoidance.- Modeling and Control of Legged Robots.- Modeling and Control of Wheeled Mobile Robots.- Modeling and Control of Robots on Rough Terrain .- Modeling and Control of Underwater Robots.- Modeling and Control of Aerial Robots.- Multiple Mobile Robot Systems Part F Robots at WorkIndustrial Robotics.- Space Robotics.- Robotics in Agriculture and Forestry.- Robotics in Construction.- Robotics in Hazardous Applications.- Robotics in Mining.- Search and Rescue Robotics.- Robot Surveillance and Security.- Intelligent Vehicles.- Medical Robotics and Computer-Integrated Surgery.- Rehabilitation and Health Care Robotics.- Domestic Robotics.- Robotics Competitions and ChallengesPart G Robots and Humans Humanoids.- Human Motion Reconstruction.- Physical Human-Robot Interaction.- Human-Robot Augmentation.- Cognitive Human-Robot Interaction.- Social Robotics.- Socially Assistive Robotics.- Learning from Humans.- Biologically-Inspired Robotics.- Evolutionary Robotics.- Neurorobotics: From Vision to Action.- Perceptual Robotics.- Robotics for Education.- Roboethics: Social and Ethical ImplicationsAcknowledgements.- About the Authors.- Subject Index Reihe/Serie Springer Handbooks Zusatzinfo LXXVI, 2227 p. 1375 illus. in color.

Bruno Siciliano is Professor of Control and Robotics at the University of Naples Federico II in Italy, President of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, and a Fellow of both IEEE and ASME. Oussama Khatib is Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University in the USA, President of the International Foundation of Robotics Research, an IEEE Fellow, and a recipient of the Japan Robot Association Award in Research and Development. Introduction (Bruno Siciliano, Oussama Khatib) Part A: Robotics Foundations (David Orin) Part A presents the fundamental principles and methods that are used to model, design, and control a robotic system. All of the foundational topics are included in this part: kinematics, dynamics, mechanical design and actuation, sensing and estimation, motion planning, motion control, force control, robotic systems architectures and programming, and AI reasoning methods for task planning and learning. A chapter is devoted to each of these topics. The topics are expanded and applied to specific robotic structures and systems in subsequent parts. Chap. 1. Kinematics (Ken Waldron, James Schmiedeler) Chap. 2. Dynamics (Roy Featherstone, David Orin) Chap. 3. Mechanisms and Actuation (Victor Scheinman, Michael McCarthy) Chap. 4. Sensing and Estimation (Henrik Christensen, Gregory Hager) Chap. 5. Motion Planning (Lydia Kavraki, Steve LaValle) Chap. 6. Motion Control (Wankyun Chung, Li-Chen Fu, Su-Hau Hsu) Chap. 7. Force Control (Luigi Villani, Joris De Schutter) Chap. 8. Robotic Systems Architectures and Programming (David Kortenkamp, Reid Simmons) Chap. 9. AI Reasoning Methods for Robotics (Joachim Hertzberg, Raja Chatila) Part B: Robot Structures (Frank Park) Part B is concerned with the design, modeling, motion planning, and control of the actual physical realizations of a robot. Some of the more obvious mechanical structures that come to mind are arms, legs, and hands; to this list can be added wheeled vehicles and platforms, and robot structures at the micro and nano scales. With separate chapters devoted to performance criteria and model identification, the chapters in this part successively examine serial redundant mechanisms, parallel mechanisms, flexible robots, robot hands, robot legs, wheeled robots, and micro- and nanoscale robots. Chap. 10. Performance Evaluation and Design Criteria (Jorge Angeles, Frank Park) Chap. 11. Redundant Manipulators (Stefano Chiaverini, Giuseppe Oriolo, Ian Walker) Chap. 12. Parallel Mechanisms and Robots (Jean-Pierre Merlet, Clément Gosselin) Chap. 13. Robots with Flexible Elements (Alessandro De Luca, Wayne Book) Chap. 14. Model Identification (John Hollerbach, Wisama Khalil, Maxime Gautier, ) Chap. 15. Robot Hands (Claudio Melchiorri, Makoto Kaneko) Chap. 16. Legged Robots (Shuuji Kajita, Bernard Espiau) Chap. 17. Wheeled Robots (Guy Campion, Woojin Chung) Chap. 18. Micro/Nano Robots (Brad Nelson, Lixin Dong, Fumihito Arai) Part C: Sensing and Perception (Henrik Christensen) Part C covers different sensory modalities and integration of sensor data across space and time to generate models of robots and the external environment. The main sensor types such as tactile, odometry, GPS, ranging and visual perception are presented. Both basic sensor models, sensor data processing and associated representations are covered. Finally, a chapter on sensor fusion itroduces the mathematical tools needed for integration of sensor information across space and time. Chap. 19. Force and Tactile Sensors (Mark Cutkosky, Robert Howe, William Provancher) Chap. 20. Inertial Sensors, GPS and Odometry (Gregory Dudek, Michael Jenkin) Chap. 21. Sonar Sensing (Lindsay Kleeman, Roman Kuc) Chap. 22. Range Sensors (Robert Fisher, Kurt Konolige) Chap. 23. 3D Vision and Recognition (Kostas Daniliidis, Jan-Olof Eklundh) Chap. 24. Visual Servoing and Visual Tracking (François Chaumette, Seth Hutchinson) Chap. 25. Sensor Fusion (Hugh Durrant-Whyte, Tom Henderson) Part D: Manipulation and Interfaces (Makoto Kaneko) Part D is separated into two subparts. The first half is concerned with manipulation where frameworks of modeling, motion planning, and control of grasp and manipulation of an object are addressed, and the second half is concerned with interfaces where physical human-robot interac.
