Robotics and Mechatronics
This book gathers the latest advances, innovations and applications in the field of robotics and mechatronics, as presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the 6th IFToMM International Symposium on Robotics and Mechatronics (ISRM), held in Taipei, Taiwan, on October 28–30, 2019. It covers highly diverse topics, including mechanism synthesis, analysis, and design, kinematics and dynamics of multibody systems, modelling and simulation, sensors and actuators, novel robotic systems, industrial- and service-related robotics and mechatronics, medical robotics, and historical developments in robotics and mechatronics. The contributions, which were selected through a rigorous international peer-review process, share exciting ideas that spur novel research directions and foster new, multidisciplinary collaborations.
Electromagnetic Actuation and Sensing in Medical Robotics
This book highlights electromagnetic actuation (EMA) and sensing systems for a broad range of applications including targeted drug delivery, drug-release-rate control, catheterization, intravitreal needleless injections, wireless magnetic capsule endoscopy, and micromanipulations. It also reviews the state-of-the-art magnetic actuation and sensing technologies with remotely controlled targets used in biomedicine.
Permanent Magnet Spherical Motors
This book introduces and illustrates modeling, sensing, and control methods for analyzing, designing, and developing spherical motors. It systematically presents models for establishing the relationships among the magnetic fields, position/orientation and force/torque, while also providing time-efficient solutions to assist researchers and engineers in studying and developing these motors. In order to take full advantage of spherical motors’ compact structure in practical applications, sensing and control methods that utilize their magnetic fields and eliminate the need to install external sensors for feedback are proposed. Further, the book investigates for the first time spherical motors’ force/torque manipulation capability, and proposes algorithms enabling the ball-joint-like end-effector for haptic use based on these motors’ hybrid position/force actuation modes. While systematically presenting approaches to their design, sensing and control, the book also provides many examples illustrating the implementation issues readers may encounter.
Experimental Robotics
This book presents scientific and practical developments in the emerging trends of human-centric robotics in unstructured environments, covering Human–Robot Collaboration, Mobile Robotics and Manipulation, Field Robotics, Aerial Robotics, Humanoids, and Autonomous Driving. It offers insights into the latest scientific and technological development in robot–human interactions, advanced autonomy, and robust designs for real-world applications. This edition's approach is characterized by strong scientific developments backed by practical applications, offering detailed case studies and experimental data that support the theoretical foundations of robotic technology. By emphasizing the application side of research, it encourages readers to consider not only, theoretical advancements in robotics but also the implications and opportunities for real-world integration.

Readers will gain: · Insights into current retention trends in BPOs. · Understanding of how engagement impacts performance. · Practical strategies for improving workforce loyalty. · Tools to design inclusive, employee-centric retention policies. · A roadmap to link retention with long-term organizational growth.
Intelligent Autonomous Systems 16
This book presents the latest advances and research achievements in the fields of autonomous robots and intelligent systems, presented at the IAS-16 conference, conducted virtually in Singapore, from 22 to 25 June 2021. IAS is a common platform for an exchange and sharing of ideas among the international scientific research and technical community on some of the main trends of robotics and autonomous systems: navigation, machine learning, computer vision, control, and robot design-as well as a wide range of applications. IAS-16 reflects the rise of machine learning and deep learning developments in the robotics field, as employed in a variety of applications and systems. All contributions were selected using a rigorous peer-reviewed process to ensure their scientific quality. Despite the challenge of organising a conference during a pandemic, the IAS biennial conference remains an essential venue for the robotics and autonomous systems community ever since its inception in 1986.
