Cellular Robotics and Micro Robotic Systems

Download or read book Cellular Robotics and Micro Robotic Systems written by Toshio Fukuda and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1994 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces interesting topics, from concepts to the latest research, on cellular and micro robotic systems. The cellular robotic system is a self-organizing robotic system composed of a large number of autonomous robotic units, named cells. This idea came from the organic structure of a living body. Several attractive topics in this area are covered, such as swarm intelligence, communications, and robotic mechanisms. The micro robotic system is currently the most fascinating technology. Micro mechanisms, control and intelligence, with respect to this system are treated here. The combination of both technologies will prepare the way for a new paradigm in the field of engineering.
