Part I: The Optical Sensor Construction Kit: 1. Light Sources/ 2. Photodetectors/ 3. Optical Elements/ Part II: Optical Sensors and their Applications: 1. Eyes: The Examples of Nature/ 2. Optical Sensor Concepts/ References/ Glossary/ Index/
* Providing an overview of the necessary components and the range of applications from light-barriers to high-resolution surface-scanning interferometers, this is a valuable introduction to the technology of optical sensors as well as a reference for experienced practitioners.
* The first part of the book introduces readers to the basics of sensor principles by describing the most important components that can be found in all optical sensors. Based on this opto-electronic toolbox, the second part then goes on to give numerous examples of optical sensors with respect to their applications. *

Semantic Information in Exploration and Localization/ 6. Conceptual Spatial Representation of Indoor Environments/ 7. Semantic Information in Sensor Data/ 8. Conclusion/ Index/
* During the last years there has been an increasing interest in the area of service robots. Under this category we find robots working in tasks such as elderly care, guiding, office and domestic assistance, inspection, and many more. Service robots usually work in indoor environments designed for humans, with offices and houses being some of the most typical examples. These environments are typically divided into places with different functionalities like corridors, rooms or doorways.
* The ability to learn such semantic categories from sensor data enables a mobile robot to extend its representation of the environment, and to improve its capabilities. As an example, natural language terms like corridor or room can be used to indicate the position of the robot in a more intuitive way when communicating with humans. *

Drives and Control for Industrial Automation
Springer-Verlag 2010.1
204 pp.(H)
ISBN 1-84882-424-6

Contents
1. Overview of Servo Control/ 2. Servo Hydraulic and Pneumatic Drive/ 3. Electric Drives/ 4. Piezoelectric Drives/ 5. Motion Control/ 6. Digital Communication Protocols/ 7. Trends in Motion Control/ Index/
* Drives and Control for Industrial Automation presents the material necessary for an understanding of servo control in automation. Beginning with a macroscopic view of its subject, treating drives and control as parts of a single system, the book then pursues a detailed discussion of the major components of servo control: sensors, controllers and actuators. Throughout, the mechatronic approach ― a synergistic integration of the components ― is maintained, in keeping with contemporary practice. *
