This volume presents material on modern management and control methodologies. Topics covered include: shop-floor scheduling; shop controller managers design; decision support; adaptive control; automatic supervision; balanced automation; and collaborative manufacturing.
The fields of control and robotics are now at an advanced level of maturity both in theory and practice. Numerous systems are used effectively in industrial production and other sectors of modern life. This volume contains a well-balanced collection of over fifty papers focusing on analysis and design problems. The current trends and advances in the fields are reflected. Topics covered system analysis, identification and stability optimal, adaptive, robust and QFT controller design design and application of driving simulators industrial robots and telemanipulators mobile, service, and legged robots virtual reality in robotics The book brings together important original results derived from a variety of academic and engineering environments. Also, it serves as a timely reference volume for the researcher and practitioner.
The result of a symposium sponsored by the IMACS Technical Committee of Control Systems and Robotics, this book contains research papers on various theoretical and practical aspects of system modelling and simulation. The Applications'' section looks at a wide variety of subjects, including papers such as Ship Design Parameters' Optimization Computer System'', Simulation of the Enhanced Oil Recovery Process as a Moving Boundary Problem'' and A Generalized Model to Simulate Urgent Hospital Departments'', to name three at random.
This book contains 90 original papers, which are classified in the following five parts: (1) Modelling and Simulation. (2) Digital Signal Processing and 2-D System Design. (3) Information and Communication Systems. (4) Control Systems. (5) Applications (robotics, industrial and miscellaneous applications).
This book presents a set of thirty six contributions in the manufacturing field selected from those presented at the "Third European Robotics, Intelligent Systems and Control Conference (EURISCON 98)".
Covers applications in chemical engineering, nuclear reactors, petroleum reservoirs-aquifers, & heat exchangers. Covers simulation, identification, state estimation, stability, control, numerical approximation methods, etc.
