The development of the theory of intelligent machines  has been developed in parallel to the advances in robot design. This  theory is the natural outcome of research and development in classical  control (1950s), adaptive and learning control (1960s),  self-organizing control (1970s) and intelligent control systems  (1980s). \u003cbr\u003e  The theory of intelligent machines involves utilization and  integration of concepts and ideas from the diverse disciplines of  science, engineering and mathematics, and fields like artificial  intelligence, system theory and operations research. The main focus  and motivation is to bridge the gap between diverse disciplines  involved and bring under a common cover several generic methodologies  pertaining to what has been defined as \u003cem\u003emachine intelligence.\u003c\/em\u003e  Intelligent robotic systems are a specific application of intelligent  machines. They are complex computer controlled robotic systems  equipped with a diverse set of visual and non visual sensors and  possess decision making and problem solving capabilities within their  domain of operation. Their modeling and control is accomplished via  analytical and heuristic methodologies and techniques pertaining to  generalized system theory and artificial intelligence. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eIntelligent Robotic Systems: Theory, Design and Applications\u003c\/em\u003e,  presents and justifies the fundamental concepts and ideas associated  with the modeling and analysis of intelligent robotic systems. \u003cbr\u003e  Appropriate for researchers and engineers in the general area of  robotics and automation, \u003cem\u003eIntelligent Robotic Systems\u003c\/em\u003e is both a  solid reference as well as a text for a graduate level course in  intelligent robotics\/machines. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792392507\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-3568-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 252.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578392895628,"sku":"9780792392507","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792392507.jpg?v=1767145577","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792392507","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
