Focusing on the important control problems in state-of-the-art robotics
and automation, this volume features invited papers from a workshop held
at CDC, San Diego, California. As well as looking at current problems,
it aims to identify and discuss challenging issues that are yet to be
solved but which will be vital to future research directions. The many
topics covered include: automatic control, distributed multi-agent
control, multirobots, dexterous hands, flexible manipulators, walking
robots, free-floating systems, nonholonomic robots, sensor fusion, fuzzy
control, virtual reality, visual servoing, and task synchronization.
Control Problems in Robotics and Automation will be of interest to all
researchers, scientists and graduate students who wish to broaden their
knowledge in robotics and automation and prepare themselves to address
and resolve the control problems that will be faced in this field as we
enter the twenty-first century.
