Uniform Coverage of Simple Surfaces Embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ for Auto-Body Painting
We develop a procedure for automated trajectory generation for robotic spray painting applications. Painting requires that the spray gun deposit... -
Semi-Differential Invariants for Recognition of Albebraic Curves
This paper studies the recognition of low-degree polynomial curves based on minimal tactile data. Differential and semi-differential invariants have... -
Computing Deform Closure Grasps
In prior work, we extended the well-known form closure grasp framework for rigid parts to a class of deformable parts, modeled as frictionless... -
Voronoi-Based Outdoor Traversable Region Modelling
Nowadays, the interest in mobile robotics working in outdoor environments is increasing due to the new applications focussed on aiding humans. To... -
LMI Optimization for Fixed-Order H∞ Controller Design
A general H∞ controller design technique is proposed for scalar linear systems, based on properties of positive polynomial matrices. The order of the... -
Granular Nested Causal Complexes
Causal reasoning occupies a central position in human reasoning. In many ways, causality is granular. This is true for: perception, commonsense... -
The Evolution of the Concept of Fuzzy Measure
Most information discovery processes need to understand the reasons of the success of the inference methods or the usability of the new information,... -
Uncertain Knowledge Association Through Information Gain
The problem of entity association is at the core of information mining techniques. In this work we propose an approach that links the similarity of... -
Integrated Clustering Modeling with Backpropagation Neural Network for Effcient Customer Relationship Management
The rapid progress in digital data acquisition and storage technology has lead to the fast growing tremendous and amount of data stored in databases,... -
Current Status of Computerized Decision Support Systems in Mammography
Breast cancer is one of the most devastating and deadly diseases for women today. Despite advances in cancer treatment, early mammographic detection... -
B Experimental Setups and Acoustic Environments
In this chapter, the experimental setup and the acoustic environments are described, which are used in this work for illustrating the properties of... -
Analysis and Architecture of Clinical Workflow Systems using Agent-Oriented Lifecycle Models
Healthcare executives are grappling with a climate of great change in the healthcare industry. This is coming from a number of sources. First, there... -
5. Nonlinear Systems with Autonomous Linear Parts
Denote $\displaystyle \Omega(r) = \{h \in C^n : \vert\vert h \vert\vert \leq... -
10. Aizerman’s Problem for Nonautonomous Systems
Let b k (t) (t≥ 0; k=1, ... , n) be real non-negative scalar-valued functions having continuous derivatives up to... -
11. Input-to-State Stability
Let us consider a system described by the following equation in a Euclidean space C n :... -
9. Lur’e Type Systems
In the present chapter we investigate the asymptotic stability of the system... -
1. Examples and Modelling of Switched and Impulsive Systems
When you begin to read this book, you may ask: “what is a switched and impulsive system?” This is a question that may be best answered through... -
Applications of Fuzzy Logic in Mobile Robots Control
Fuzzy logic is a mathematical tool that can manipulate human reasoning, concepts and linguistic terms. It suits ill-defined systems since it can... -
6 Stochastic Passivity
Passivity of deterministic linear systems plays an important role in network theory and in adaptive control. The fact that a system is passive... -
4 Continuous-time Systems: Tracking Control
In this chapter we treat the problem of H∞ tracking with stochastic multiplicative white noise. We extend the work of [98], which does not involve...
