Ramos-Arreguin J.M. (ed.) Automation and Robotics

I-Tech Education and Publishing, 2008. — viii, 388 p. — ISBN 978-3-902613-41-7.In this book, a set of relevant, updated and selected papers in the field of automation and robotics are presented. These papers describe projects where topics of artificial intelligence, modeling and simulation process, target tracking algorithms, kinematic constraints of the closed loops, non-linear control, are used in advanced and recent research.
Also, the lecturer can find some of the new methodologies applied to solve complex problems in the field of control and robotic research fields. Moreover, this book can serve as a good information source for scientific scholars, engineers and beginners who would like to start working with both automation and robotic areas. Combining the ideas of the diverse disciplines involved in such areas, this book give hints and help about how to implement them on products for industrial automation and robotics applications.Tracking Control for Multiple Trailer Systems by Adaptive Algorithmic Control.
