Competitive Mindstorms: A Complete Guide to Robotic Sumo Using Lego Mindstorms
ISBN: 9781590593752 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. WHEN DAVID CONTACTED ME to ask about writing the foreword for his MINDSTORMS book, my first thought was, - other book about LEGO robotics-is there still some- thing to write about it?" In fact, the shelves of the bookstores now offer a wide selection of books about building robots with the LEGO MINDSTORMS system. Many of them are actually very good books, which cover the matter quite deeply and exhaustively. However, a few lines below in his e-mail, David explained to me that the book was to deal exclusively with robotic sumo. That raised my interest and made me feel sud- denly excited,...

The Robosapien Companion: Tips, Tricks, and Hacks
ISBN: 9781590595268 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. You don't need to understand BEAM robotics, or know anything about Mark Tilden, in order to enjoy your Robosapien. However, not only is a basic understanding of the background of the robot (and the theories that make it "tick") interesting, but these concepts open up opp- tunities to further explore your Robosapien. This gives you more to think about and a richer background when you're coming up with programming routines and even potential hacks for your Robosapien. As we'll see in subsequent chapters, Robosapien is a far cry from a true BEAM robot. But as we'll also see, Robosapien would...

Finite-Spectrum Assignment for Time-Delay Systems
ISBN: 9781852330651 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The presence of considerable time delays in many industrial processes is well recognized and achievable performances of conventional unity feedback control systems are degraded if a process has a relatively large time delay compared to its time constants. In this case, dead time compensation is necessary in order to enhance the performances. The most popular scheme for such compensation is the Smith Predictor, but it is unsuitable for unstable or lightly damped processes because the compensated closed-loop system always contains the process poles themselves. An alternative scheme for delay...
