Control Engineering in Robotics and Industrial Automation -

. .

Résumé :
This book is the first research collection by the Malaysian Society for Automatic Control Engineers (MACE). Numerous applications of control engineering, sensor, and instrumentation technology in robotics, industrial automation, and other mechatronic systems are presented in this book. The book begins by introducing control engineering in robotics and industrial automation. It progresses through a series of chapters, discussing the application of control engineering in various areas such as: brake-by-wire technology; web scrubber systems; robot localization; and, autonomous navigation systems. Coverage of swarm robotics behaviors and applications of sensor technology in the field of music, biomedical technology, and structural analysis takes the book beyond its core of mechatronic systems and demonstrates a more diverse application of the ideas it presents. Each chapter provides comprehensive and detailed coverage of the main ideas, design methods, and practical needs of its chosen topic, making this book accessible and useful to researchers, engineers, postgraduates, and undergraduate students.

Biographie:

Dr Muralindran Mariappan gained his PhD in Robotics from the Universiti Malaysia Sabah in 2008, where he'd previously graduated with his MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 2004. He worked in a number of academic positions, until reaching his current positions as the Head of Electrical & Electronic Engineering and Head of Robotics & Intelligent Systems (myRIS), Artificial Intelligent Research Unit, at the Universiti Malaysia Sabah. He authored or co-authored over 100 books, book chapters, journal articles and proceedings papers, as well as having filed for 7 patents. He has worked on various conference committees and boards, including the International Conference on Computational Science and Technology and the IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics, Robotics & Automation.
