Book ·
OSTI ID:6197315

This book explains the steps that need to be taken in the making of the advanced robot. The advanced robot is defined as the robot that senses and reacts to changes in its environment. It provides comprehensive survey and description of the problems posed by the detection of stress, tactile and proximetric detection, and artificial vision, all essential to the development and understanding of the adaptive robot. It also provides an excellent summary of techniques, practical and mathematical, needed to deal with them. This book provides an indispensible source of reference for both designers and users of robots. The contents are, introduction; characteristics of robots adaptable to environmental variations interaction to weight surrounding medium and workload, interactions involving physical contact between robot and environment; the detection of stress, interactions physical contact between robot and environment; tactile detection, remote interaction: proximity sensing, remote interaction, artificial vision, remote sensing: artificial vision-representation of visual information. Remote sensing: artificial vision.
