Industrial use of the brushless servomotor, for instance in robotics, is increasing rapidly, because of their low maintenance needs and capabilities at high transient speeds.
This book serves three basic purposes: (1) a tutorial-type reference for complex systems engineering (CSE) concepts and associated terminology, (2) a recommendation of a proposed methodology showing how the evolving practice of CSE can lead to a more unified theory, and (3) a complex systems (CSs) initiative for organizations to invest some of their resources toward helping to make the world a better place.
This book gathers papers from the 11th Construction Industry Development Board (cidb) Postgraduate Research Conference, held on 28-30 July 2019 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The growing complexity of projects today, as well as the uncertainty inherent in innovative projects, is making obsolete traditional project management practices and procedures, which are based on the notion that much about a project is known at its start.
This book discusses the latest advances in manufacturing and process control, with a special emphasis on digital manufacturing and intelligent technologies for manufacturing and industrial processes control.

This book comprises a set of chapters that introduce various topics pertinent to novel approaches towards enhancing cyber-physical measures for increased security and resilience levels in control systems.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of finance and governance, the integration of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence is reshaping the way we perceive and interact with traditional systems.
In electronics manufacture, the expanding range of products and the smaller-and-smaller scale of increasingly integrated components is producing a trend towards complex and fault-susceptible processes.
Offering a wide range of programming examples implemented in MATLAB, Computational Intelligence Paradigms: Theory and Applications Using MATLAB presents theoretical concepts and a general framework for computational intelligence (CI) approaches, including artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation, genetic algorithms and pr
Safe Robot Navigation Among Moving and Steady Obstacles is the first book to focus on reactive navigation algorithms in unknown dynamic environments with moving and steady obstacles.
This book draws inspiration from natural shepherding, whereby a farmer utilizes sheepdogs to herd sheep, to inspire a scalable and inherently human friendly approach to swarm control.
Cultural factors, in both the narrow sense of different national, racial, and ethnic groups, and in the broader sense of different groups of any type, play major roles in individual and group decisions.
This book discusses major issues in the field of agriculture: crop diseases, lack of storage management, pesticide control, weed management, lack of irrigation and water management and their effective resolution via automation, including IoT, wireless communications, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and deep learning.
Business Models for Transforming Customer RelationshipsWhat if there were a way to turn occasional, sporadic transactions with customers into long-term, continuous relationships--while simultaneously driving dramatic improvements in operational efficiency?
Nonlinear Vibration and Dynamics of Smart Continuous Structures and Materials delves into intricate subjects concerning the analysis of nonlinear vibration issues in continuous structures.
