Synopsis
"Smart Robots (A Handbook of Intelligent Robotic Systems) by V. Daniel Hunt provides
one of the first really comprehensive state-of-the-art presentations on the rapidly
emerging technology of intelligent - or "Smart" robots. The 377- page volume is
an outstanding introduction to "Smart" robots, machine-vision systems, sensors,
manipulators, expert systems, natural language processing, and related artificial
intelligence concepts. This book provides an extensive collection
of photographs, diagrams, and information-packed tables making it easier to understand
even the most complex theories. In addition, the glossary of terms, bibliography,
points of contact, and index provide an excellent easy reference to specific topical
information. Reviews
"Written in easily understandable language, this comprehensive volume is
a synthesis of recent technological advances as well as the newest industrial
applications of smart robots... Extensive and particularly valuable coverage is
given to three vital elements of all smart robot systems - natural language processing,
expert systems, and machine vision systems." McGraw-Hill
Mechanical Engineers Book Club "for managers in industry,
and management majors in universities wishing to have an overview to help them
develop a proper perspective on sensor-based robots and automation." Le
Tang, Ph.D., Ball State University "Reflecting the
change in the way we think about robots..." Advanced
Manufacturing Technology Magazine "extensively illustrated,
provides an overview of the emerging field of smart robots, the basic approaches
for each of the constituent's systems, the techniques used, applications, the
descriptions of current hardware or software projects, a review of the state-of-the-art
of the technology, current research and development efforts, and trends in the
development of smart robots." Engineering Societies
Library V. Daniel Hunt's "Smart Robots" clearly presents
techniques, applications, robot hardware and software, an research and development
progress in smart robots. It includes extensive charts, diagrams, photos, glossary,
and bibliography. Basic Library Resources for Mechanical
