Summary
Summary
Recent advances and development in the field of robotics, with emphasis on the mathematical and computational aspects, are presented in these conference proceedings. The papers are grouped under several themes which span the broad scope of modern robotics, including sensory systems, computational parallel processing aspects, kinematics, dynamics and robot control, manufacturing environment and artificial intelligence. Each area can be treated as a self-contained unit or in terms of its relationship with other areas of the field. All the papers have been refereed. As an international overview of the present-day research in robotics, this book should be of interest to those wishing to become more acquainted with the topic.
