Inhaltsangabe

The book is the outcome of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Sensors and Sensory Systems for Advanced Robots held in Maratea, Italy, in April-May 1986. The focus is on a review of the state of the art and perspectives of sensor technology for robots. In this framework, particular attention is devoted to the study of basic principles and of problems related to the design and fabrication of different types of sensors already used, or potentially usable, for robots. An additional distinctive feature of the book is that it emphasizes the interdisciplinarity of advanced robotics by including the contributions of a number of top researchers in the fields of neurophysiology, psychology, biophysics, sensor science, mechanical, chemical, electronic and biomedical engineering, computer science and automatic control. The problem of using multiple sensory information for sensor-based robot control is also addressed with reference to some practical examples. The book provides solid information on transducer science and technology for robots, particularly useful to the industrial robot practitioner, and is also stimulating and interesting as an introduction to the study of artificial sensory systems for those who are more attracted by applications in the field of advanced robotics.

Reseña del editor

This volume contains papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on "Sensors and Sensory Systems for Advanced Robots", which was held in Maratea, Italy, during the week Apri I 28 - May 3, 1986. Participants in the ARW, who came from eleven NATO and two non-NATO countries, represented an i nternat i ona I assortment of d i st i ngu i shed research centers in industry, government and academia. Purpose of the Workshop was to rev i ew the state of the art of sensing for advanced robots, to discuss basic concepts and new ideas on the use of sensors for robot control and to provide recommendations for future research in this area, There IS an almost unanimous consensus among invest i gators in the fie I d of robot i cs that the add i t i on of sensory capabi I ities represents the "natural" evolution of present industrial robots, as wei I as the necessary premise to the development of advanced robots for nonindustrial app I i cat ions. However, a number of conceptua I and techn i ca I problems sti I I challenge the practical implementation and widespread appl ication of sensor-based robot control techn i ques. Cruc i a I among those prob I ems is the ava i lab iii ty of adequate sensors.
