A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation

A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation

A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation presents a mathematical formulation of the kinematics dynamics and control of robot manipulators. It uses an elegant set of mathematical tools that emphasizes the geometry of robot motion and allows a large class of robotic manipulation problems to be analyzed within a unified framework. The foundation of the book is a derivation of robot kinematics using the product of the exponentials formula. The authors explore the kinematics of open-chain manipulators and multifingered robot hands present an analysis of the dynamics and control of robot systems discuss the specification and control of internal forces and internal motions and address the implications of the nonholonomic nature of rolling contact are addressed as well. The wealth of information numerous examples and exercises make A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation valuable as both a reference for robotics researchers and a text for students in advanced robotics courses.

Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry

Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry

The Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry is intended as a reference book fully accessible to nonspecialists as well as specialists covering all major aspects of both fields. The book offers the most important results and methods in discrete and computational geometry to those who use them in their work both in the academic world—as researchers in mathematics and computer science—and in the professional world—as practitioners in fields as diverse as operations research molecular biology and robotics. Discrete geometry has contributed significantly to the growth of discrete mathematics in recent years. This has been fueled partly by the advent of powerful computers and by the recent explosion of activity in the relatively young field of computational geometry. This synthesis between discrete and computational geometry lies at the heart of this Handbook. A growing list of application fields includes combinatorial optimization computer-aided design computer graphics crystallography data analysis error-correcting codes geographic information systems motion planning operations research pattern recognition robotics solid modeling and tomography.

Sediment Transport Dynamics

Sediment Transport Dynamics

This book focuses on the fundamentals of sediment transport in surface waters. It covers sediment properties open channel flows sediment particle settling incipient motion bed forms bed load suspended load total load cohesive sediments water-sediment two-phase flows hyperconcentrated flows debris flows wave-induced sediment transport turbidity currents and physical modeling. Besides the primary context of river sedimentation this book extensively covers sediment transport under coexisting waves and currents in coasts and estuaries hyperconcentrated and debris flows in rivers as well as turbidity currents in lakes reservoirs channels and the ocean. It includes a chapter on the water-sediment two-phase flow theory which is considered the basis of many sediment transport models. It introduces some special topics have that emerged in recent years such as the transport of mixed cohesive and noncohesive sediments biofilm-coated sediments and infiltrated sand within gravel and cobble beds. The text merges classical and new knowledge of sediment transport from various sources in English and non-English literature and includes important contributions made by many scientists and engineers from all over the world. It balances the breadth depth fundamental importance practical applicability and future advancement of the covered knowledge and can be used as a text and reference book. The chapters are arranged in a useful sequence for teaching purposes. Certain homework problems are prepared which also highlight the important topics for instructors to select. Solutions to homework problems are available from the author by request. | Sediment Transport Dynamics

The Routledge Companion to Vsevolod Meyerhold

The Routledge Companion to Vsevolod Meyerhold

The Routledge Companion to Vsevolod Meyerhold brings together a wealth of scholarship on one of the foremost innovators in European theatre. It presents a detailed picture of the Russian director’s work from when it first emerged on the modern stage to its multifarious present-day manifestations. By combining an historical focus with the latest contemporary research from an international range of perspectives and authors this collection marks an important moment in Meyerhold studies as well as offering a new assessment of his relation to today's theatre-making. Its dynamic blend of research is presented in five sections: Histories enlarges on more conventional subjects like the grotesque and Biomechanics to overlooked topics such as Meyerhold's ‘failed’ projects and his work in film; Collaborations and Connections extends understandings of Meyerhold’s well-known collaborative capacities to consider new cultural influences and lesser known working relationships; Sources engages with hitherto untapped material in Meyerhold’s oeuvre by reproducing and contextualising previously untranslated primary sources on his work; Practitioner Voices offer lively on the ground testimony of the contemporary impact of Meyerhold's practice; Meyerhold in New Contexts maps the routes of his practice across continents and examines ways in which his work is being applied in a number of contemporary scenarios such as motion capture computer-based 3D visualisations and the ‘new normal’ of digital pedagogy. This is a key resource for students and scholars of European Theatre acting theory and actor training as well as for those more broadly interested in the socio-political impact of theatre.
