This volume provides a systematic introduction to the research on spherical actuators. It broadens the scope of actuators from conventional single- to multi-axes, which allows beginners and researchers alike to enhance their knowledge on electromagnetic actuators.

This book extends the conventional two-dimensional (2D) magnet arrangement into 3D pattern for permanent magnet linear machines for the first time, and proposes a novel dual Halbach array.

This book features the latest theoretical results and techniques in the field of guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) of vehicles and aircrafts. It covers a wide range of topics, including but not limited to, intelligent computing communication and control; new methods of navigation, estimation and tracking; control of multiple moving objects; manned and autonomous unmanned systems; guidance, navigation and control of miniature aircraft; and sensor systems for guidance, navigation and control etc.Presenting recent advances in the form of illustrations, tables, and text, it also provides...
