Enables readers to master and apply the operator-theoretic approach
Control of nonlinear systems is a multidisciplinary field involving electrical engineering, computer science, and control engineering. Specifically, this book addresses uncertain nonlinearity. Beginning with how real plants are modeled as operator-based plants, the author develops a systematic methodology that enables readers to understand a quantitative stability result, a critical factor in any nonlinear control system's stability and performance.

Most existing robust design books address design for static systems, or achieve robust design from experimental data via the Taguchi method. Little work considers model information for robust design particularly for the dynamic system. This book covers robust design for both static and dynamic systems using the nominal model information or the hybrid model/data information, and also integrates design with control under a large operating region. This design can handle strong nonlinearity and more uncertainties from model and parameters.

This book introduces various coverage control problems for mobile sensor networks including barrier, sweep and blanket. Unlike many existing algorithms, all of the robotic sensor and actuator motion algorithms developed in the book are fully decentralized or distributed, computationally efficient, easily implementable in engineering practice and based only on information on the closest neighbours of each mobile sensor and actuator and local information about the environment. Moreover, the mobile robotic sensors have no prior information about the environment in which they operation. These...

This book focuses on robotic hand for both prosthetic and non-prosthetic applications starting from routine human operations, handling in chemical and nuclear hazardous environments, space station building, repair and maintenance, explosive and terrorist situations to robotic surgery. Fusion of Hard and Soft Control Strategies for Robotic Hand begins by discussing the military relevance towards the need for developing robotic hand technology with tactile/and or proprioceptive feedback at an affordable cost for hand amputees. Chapter one also provides an overview of the main control...
