Description
Research Studies Mechatronics and Machine Vision Future Trends 2003 Edition by John Billingsley
Forty-one refereed papers from robot engineers describe their work in a range of mechatronics and machine vision work, including the use of distance education in mechatronics, robotic manipulators, wireless methods, recognition systems, vision control systems, medical mechatronics, mobility and control, and control theory. Taken by Billingsley (engineering, U. of Southern Queensland, Australia) from a December 2003 conference held in Western Australia, the papers discuss such individual topics as remote laboratories in mechatronics, adaptive control of a manipulator with flexible joints using neural networks, machine vision classification of animals, mechatronic assisted prostate biopsy, and a hovering and flying ornithopter bat robot.
