This book reports on the latest advances in the study of motion control in biomimetic swimming robots with high speed and high manoeuvrability. It presents state-of-the-art studies on various swimming robots including robotic fish, dolphins and jellyfish in a unified framework, and discusses the potential benefits of applying biomimetic underwater propulsion to autonomous underwater vehicle design, such as: speed, energy economy, enhanced manoeuvrability, and reduced detectability. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to researchers, engineers and graduate students in robotics and ocean engineering who wish to learn about the core principles, methods, algorithms, and applications of biomimetic underwater robots. |

Understanding Operating Systems
This book explains a very technical subject in a not-so-technical manner, putting the
concepts of operating systems into a format that students can quickly grasp.
For those new to the subject, this text demonstrates what operating systems are, what
they do, how they do it, how their performance can be evaluated, and... | | | | Embedded Systems Design Using the TI MSP430 Series (Embedded Technology)
Learn about designing, programming, and developing with the popular new Texas Instruments family of microcontrollers, the MSP430 series with this new book from Chris Nagy. This product line is experiencing explosive growth due to its low-power consumption and powerful features, but very little design and application information is available... |
