Mechanics of Robotic Manipulation (Intelligent Robotics and Autonomous Agents)

Buy

"Manipulation" refers to a variety of physical changes made to the world around us. Mechanics of Robotic Manipulation addresses one form of robotic manipulation, moving objects, and the various processes involved -- grasping, carrying, pushing, dropping, throwing, and so on. Unlike most books on the subject, it focuses on manipulation rather than manipulators. This attention to processes rather than devices allows a more fundamental approach, leading to results that apply to a broad range of devices, not just robotic arms.

The book draws both on classical mechanics and on classical planning, which introduces the element of imperfect information. The book does not propose a specific solution to the problem of manipulation, but rather outlines a path of inquiry.

Catastrophe Modeling: A New Approach to Managing Risk (Huebner International Series on Risk, Insurance and Economic Security)
This book had its genesis in June 1996 when the Wharton Risk
Management and Decision Processes Center (Wharton Risk Center) co-hosted
a conference on “Information Technology and Its Impact on Catastrophic
Risks”. It was one of the events that year celebrating the Anniversary of
the first computer (ENIAC) at the

Handbook on Quality and Standardisation in E-Learning
Handbook on Quality and Standardisation in E-Learning
The motivation to publish the Handbook for Quality and Standardisation in ELearning has its origin in numerous discussions during the last few years with colleagues from all over the world, in research projects, from universities or on policy level. They gave us the chance to learn that quality for e-learning on the one hand is of utmost importance...
