Understanding Robotics by V. Daniel Hunt Pdf

Understanding Robotics is an introductory text on robotics and covers topics ranging from from the components of a robotic system, including sensors, to the industrial applications of robotics. The major factors justifying the use of robots for manufacturing are also discussed, along with the use of robots as a manufacturing tool, their impact on people, and the future of robotics. This book is comprised of eight chapters and begins with an overview of the roots of robotics and the use of robots in the manufacturing environment; advances in robot technology and typical applications of robots; reasons for using robots in the manufacturing environment; and the different manufacturing functions they perform, including visual inspection and intricate welding operations. A definition of the word ""robot"" is presented, and the impact of robots on jobs is considered. Subsequent chapters focus on the elements of a robot system, including the computer/controller, actuator power drive, and sensors; sensor applications in robotics; robotic usage by industry; economic justification of robotics; manufacturing technology and the role robotics can play in improving the United States' competitive manufacturing position; and the impact of robots on people and vice versa. The final chapter is devoted to market trends and competitiveness of the U.S. robotics industry and assesses the future prospects of robotics. This monograph should be a valuable resource for technologists and researchers interested in robots and robotics.

The integration of applied intelligence with software has been an essential enabler for science and the new economy, creating new possibilities for a more reliable, flexible and robust society. But current software methodologies, tools, and techniques often fall short of expectations, and are not yet sufficiently robust or reliable for a constantly changing and evolving market. This book presents the proceedings of SoMeT_22, the 21st International Conference on New Trends in Intelligent Software Methodology Tools, and Techniques, held from 20 - 22 September 2022 in Kitakyushu, Japan. The SoMeT conference provides a platform for the exchange of ideas and experience in the field of software technology, with the emphasis on human-centric software methodologies, end-user development techniques, and emotional reasoning for optimal performance. The 58 papers presented here were each carefully reviewed by 3 or 4 referees for technical soundness, relevance, originality, significance and clarity, they were then revised before being selected by the international reviewing committee. The papers are arranged in 9 chapters: software systems with intelligent design; software systems security and techniques; formal techniques for system software and quality assessment; applied intelligence in software; intelligent decision support systems; cyber-physical systems; knowledge science and intelligent computing; ontology in data and software; and machine learning in systems software. The book assembles the work of scholars from the international research community to capture the essence of the new state-of-the-art in software science and its supporting technology, and will be of interest to all those working in the field.
