Mark W. Spong has been researching and teaching robotics for over 35 years. He currently serves as a Professor, Excellence in Education Chair, in the Department of Systems Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas. He has been recognized for outstanding achievements including the John R. Ragazzini Award for Control Education and the IEEE RAS Pioneer in Robotics Award. He...(展开全部)

Do we control what we believe? Are we responsible for what we believe? These two questions are connected: the kind of responsibility we have for our beliefs depends on the form of control that we have over them. For a number of years David Owens has investigated what form of control we must have over something in order to be held to the norms governing that thing, and has argue...(展开全部)

The practice of robotics and computer vision both involve the application of computational algorithms to data. Over the fairly recent history of the fields of robotics and computer vision a very large body of algorithms has been developed. However this body of knowledge is something of a barrier for anybody entering the field, or even looking to see if they want to enter the fi...(展开全部)

This third edition provides chemical engineers with process control techniques that are used in practice while offering detailed mathematical analysis. Numerous examples and simulations are used to illustrate key theoretical concepts. New exercises are integrated throughout several chapters to reinforce concepts. Up-to-date information is also included on real-time optimization...(展开全部)

Perhaps the biggest challenge a developer faces is understanding the problems that a software system needs to solve. Domain modeling is a technique for creating a conceptual map of a problem space such as a business system or a scientific application, so that the developer can write the software more efficiently. The domain model doesn't present a solution to the problem, but i...(展开全部)
