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.
