Includes bibliographical references and index.

pt. 1. Conceptual foundations for MIAS -- pt. 2. MIAS and robotics -- pt. 3. Allied technologies for MIAS/robotics.

Written for systems, mechanical, aero, electrical, civil, industrial, and robotics engineers, this book covers robotics from a theoretical and systems point of view, with an emphasis on the sensor modeling and data analysis aspects. With the novel infusion of NN-FL-GA paradigms for MIAS, this reference blends modeling, sensors, control, estimation, optimization, signal processing, and heuristic methods in MIAS/robotics, and includes examples and applications throughout. The organization of the book is based on fundamental concepts, with sections covering fundamental concepts, methods and approaches, block/flow diagrams, and numerical examples. A MATLAB-based approach is used through selected case studies in the text-- Provided by publisher.
