From the Publisher\nThis book provides readers with a thorough and up-to-date examination of control techniques for robot manipulators. Control of Robot Manipulators enables readers to develop an understanding of a wide variety of robot control algorithms, including design and computer simulation techniques. The book covers computed-torque, robust control, adoptive control, force control, and advanced topics.

Macmillan Coll Div

Robot Manipulator Control offers a complete survey of control systems for serial-link robot arms and acknowledges how robotic device performance hinges upon a well-developed control system. Containing over 750 essential equations, this thoroughly up-to-date Second Edition, the book explicates theoretical and mathematical requisites for controls design and summarizes current techniques in computer simulation and implementation of controllers. It also addresses procedures and issues in computed-torque, robust, adaptive, neural network, and force control. New chapters relay practical information on commercial robot manipulators and devices and cutting-edge methods in neural network control.

Internet Naming and Discovery: Architecture and Economics (Signals and Communication Technology)

Naming is an integral building block within data networks and systems and is becoming ever more important as complex data-centric usage models emerge. Internet Naming and Discovery is timely in developing a unified model for studying the topic of naming and discovery. It details the architectural and economic tools needed for designing naming and discovery schemes within the broader context of internetwork architecture. Readers will find in this book a historic overview of the Internet and a comprehensive survey of the literature, followed by and an in-depth examination of naming and discovery. Specific topics covered include: • formal definitions of name, address, identifier, locator, binding, routing, discovery, mapping, and resolution; • a discussion of the properties of names and bindings, along with illustrative case studies; • taxonomy that helps in organizing the solution space, and more importantly in identifying new avenues for contributing to the field; • a general model for exploring the tradeoffs involved in designing discovery systems; • an illustrative design exercise for differentiated discovery services; • broad treatment of the main economic issues that arise in the context of discovery; and • a game-theoretic incentive model for route distribution (and discovery) in the context of path-vector routing protocols (mainly BGP). Internet Naming and Discovery will be of great value to readers, including graduate students, engineers and computer scientists, theoreticians and practitioners, seeking a training in advanced networking, or specializing in computer and communications networks.

This text presents an introduction to Linear-Quadratic (LQ) Control theory. LQ theory represents one of the main approaches to the design of Linear Multivariable Control Systems, and is taught in most graduate programs in Systems and Control. The theory is augmented with practical design problems using MATLAB software for numerical solutions, thus the text should also be of interest to practicing engineers. There are homework problems at the end of each chapter in addition to Notes and Reference sections which contain valuable information on related theory and references.
