Wo bin ich? Wohin soll ich? Wie komme ich dahin? Mobile Roboter in Alltagsumgebungen wie in BA1/4ros oder auf StraAen mA1/4ssen stAndig solche Fragen beantworten, sollen sie autonom, also ohne Fernsteuerung operieren. Die Berechnungen im Robotersteuerungsprogramm beruhen wesentlich auf Sensordaten aus der Umgebung, die oft unvollstAndig oder fehlerhaft sind. Entsprechend der Perspektive der Informatik stehen in diesem Lehrbuch Algorithmen und ReprAsentationen fA1/4r die Steuerung mobiler Roboter im Zentrum. Aufbauend auf ausfA1/4hrlichen Kapiteln A1/4ber Sensorik und Sensordatenverarbeitung werden alle zentralen nicht-mechanischen Aspekte der Fortbewegung - Lokalisierung in Karten, Kartierung, Navigation, Umgebungsdateninterpretation - behandelt. Das Buch ist aus Lehrveranstaltungen entstanden und ist nicht nur fA1/4r Bachelor-Veranstaltungen an allen Hochschularten, sondern auch zum Selbststudium und als Nachschlagewerk geeignet.

This is first book to fully address the disparate languages existing between computer scientists and neuro-pyschologists in the common field of artificial intelligence. It fosters the existing cooperation between engineers and neuro-psychoanalysts, which we call the fifth generation of artificial intelligence: The technical implementation of the neuro-psychoanalytical model for use in automation systems. Research in this direction is vital for future improvement of automation systems. Included are solicited contributions from leading experts in the fields of process automation, building automation, industry automation, (traditional) artificial intelligence, and neuro-psychoanalysis. This work is not about a behavior-prediction model or a statistical model about humansa (TM) behavior, but rather is focuses on a functional model of human mental functions. This approach seems to be most promising for creating machines with human-like intelligence in future times.

By Konstantinos Dalamagkidis, Kimon P. Valavanis, Les A. Piegl

£45.00   01 Oct 2008   Hardback   Kluwer Academic Publishers Group

Commercial interest for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) has seen a steady increase over the last decade. Nevertheless, UAS operations have remained almost exclusively military. This is mainly due to the lack of a regulatory framework that allows only limited public and civil UAS operations with usually crippling restrictions. Although efforts from the Federal Aviation Administration and its partners are already underway to integrate UAS in the National Airspace System (NAS), the appropriate regulation will not be ready for several more years. In the meantime UAS developers need to be aware of the current operational restrictions, as well as make informed decisions on their research and development efforts so that their designs will be airworthy when the regulatory framework is in place.

This monograph aims to present an overview of current aviation regulation followed by an investigation of issues and factors that will affect future regulation.

Medial Representations: Mathematics, Algorithms and ApplicationsMathematics, Algorithms and Applications

By Siddiqi, Kaleem Pizer, Stephen

£56.50   01 Sep 2008   Hardback   Springer

The last half century has seen the development of many biological or physical theories that have explicitly or implicitly involved medial descriptions of objects and other spatial entities in our world. Simultaneously mathematicians have studied the properties of these skeletal descriptions of shape, and, stimulated by the many areas where medial models are useful, computer scientists and engineers have developed numerous algorithms for computing and using these models.

The book consists of an introductory chapter, two chapters on the major mathematical results on medial representations, five chapters on algorithms for extracting medial models from boundary or binary image descriptions of objects, and three chapters on applications in image analysis and other areas of study and design. This book will serve the science and engineering communities using medial models and will provide learning material for students entering this field.



01/09/2008 - Probabilistic Logic Networks: A Comprehensive Framework for Uncertain Inference
Probabilistic Logic Networks: A Comprehensive Framework for Uncertain InferenceA Comprehensive Framework for Uncertain Inference

By Goertzel, Ben Ikle, Matthew Goertzel, Izabela Lyon Freire

£77.00   01 Sep 2008   Hardback   Springer

This book describes Probabilistic Logic Networks (PLN), a novel conceptual, mathematical and computational approach to uncertain inference. In order to carry out effective reasoning in real-world circumstances, AI software must be able to robustly handle uncertainty. However, previous approaches to uncertain inference are overly limited, without the breadth of scope required to provide an integrated treatment of the various forms of cognitively critical uncertainty as they manifest themselves within the various forms of cognitively critical inference. Going beyond prior probabilistic approaches to uncertain inference, PLN has the ability to encompass within uncertain logic such ideas as induction, abduction, analogy, fuzziness and speculation, and reasoning about time and causality. The bulk of the book reviews the conceptual and mathematical foundations of PLN, giving the specific algebra involved in each type of inference encompassed within PLN.

The Art and Science of Interface and Interaction DesignBy Christa Sommerer, Lakhmi C. Jain, Laurent Mignonneau

£98.00   01 Jul 2008   Hardback   Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG

Artists and creators in interactive art and interaction design have long been conducting research on human-machine interaction. Through artistic, conceptual, social and critical projects, they have shown how interactive digital processes are essential elements for their artistic creations. Resulting prototypes have often reached beyond the art arena into areas such as mobile computing, intelligent ambiences, intelligent architecture, fashionable technologies, ubiquitous computing and pervasive gaming. Many of the early artist-developed interactive technologies have influenced new design practices, products and services of today's media society. This book brings together key theoreticians and practitioners of this fields. It shows how historically relevant the issues of interaction and interface design are, as they can be analyzed not only from an engineering point of view but from a social, artistic and conceptual, and even commercial angle as well.

By Frank Schilder, Graham Katz, James Pustejovsky

£29.00   01 Dec 2007   Paperback   Springer

This state-of-the-art survey comprises a selection of the material presented at the International Dagstuhl Seminar on Annotating, Extracting and Reasoning about Time and Events, held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in April 2005.

The seminar centered around an emerging de facto standard for time and event annotation: TimeML. The 9 papers included in the book constitute the thoroughly cross-reviewed and revised versions of selected summaries and findings presented and discussed at the seminar.

The papers feature current research and discuss open problems concerning annotation, temporal reasoning, and event identification. The main concern is with the determination of the effectivity of the TimeML language for consistent annotation, the determination of the usefulness of such annotations for further processing, and the question as to which modifications should be applied to the standard to improve its convenience in applications such as question-answering and information retrieval.

Mechatronics and Machine Vision in PracticeBy John Billingsley, Robin Bradbeer

£107.50   01 Nov 2007   Hardback   Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG

From grading and preparing harvested vegetables to the tactile probing of a patient??'s innermost recesses, mechatronics has become part of our way of life. The addition of senses and computing intelligence to blend with mechanical actuation gives rise to a breed of new machines with all the best attributes of a robot.

Here we find educational robots competing under water and dancing on land. Surgical robots drill precision holes in the skull while others direct radiation treatment or extract blood from an umbilical cord. Machine vision manages beer kegs and automated paint spraying, while controlling feral animals and the watering of cotton crops.

Although there is no shortage of theoretical and technical detail in these chapters, they have the common theme that they describe work that has been applied in practice. They are vital reading both for students of mechatronics and for engineers harnessing its power to create new products.

Agent-Based Modeling: The Santa Fe Institute Artificial Stock Market Model RevisitedThe Santa Fe Institute Artificial Stock Market Model Revisited

By Ehrentreich, Norman

£46.00   01 Nov 2007   Paperback   Springer

This book reconciles the existence of technical trading with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. By analyzing a well-known agent-based model, the Santa Fe Institute Artificial Stock Market (SFI-ASM), it finds that when selective forces are weak, financial evolution cannot guarantee that only the fittest trading rules will survive.Its main contribution lies in the application of standard results from population genetics which have widely been neglected in the agent-based community. This has led to various misinterpretations of previous simulation results. The book is able to finally establish the emergence of technical trading for faster learning speeds in the SFI-ASM beyond a doubt. In emphasizing the importance of genetic drift as an important evolutionary factor and analyzing its effects on various mutation operators, this book provides agent-based modelers with several tools to design better evolutionary algorithms.
