The form and layout of a built environment has a significant influence on crime by creating opportunities for it and, in turn, shaping community crime patterns.
Algorithms that control the computational processes relating sensors and actuators are indispensable for robot navigation and the perception of the world in which they move.
The copious photographs in this book lavishly illustrate the current and future applications for robots in a wide scope of fields such as entertainment, medicine, space exploration, underwater navigation, and many more.
This volume gathers together cutting-edge research from the Third Workshop on Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics and gives a solid overview of the state of the art in robot algorithms.
The author compiles everything a student or experienced developmental engineer needs to know about the supporting technologies associated with the rapidly evolving field of robotics.
Consider this: Robots will one day be able to write poetry and prose so touching that it will make men weep; compose dozens or even hundreds of symphonies that will rival the work of Mozart; judge a court case with absolute impartiality and fairness; or even converse with the natural ease of your best friend.
With the environment, climate change, and global warming taking center stage in the national debate, the issues seem insurmountable and certainly unsolvable at the local level.
The Protection of Green Spaces for Climate Change Adaptation identifies how spatial planning and climate change adaptation are linked by examining the protection of green spaces in cities across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South America and Australia.
