Sensory Systems for Robotic Applications (1 ed)

Sensory Systems for Robotic Applications (Control, Robotics and Sensors)

Robots have come a long way thanks to advances in sensing and computer vision technologies and can be found today in healthcare, medicine, and industry. Researchers have been looking at providing them with senses such as the ability to see, smell, hear, and perceive touch to mimic and interact with humans and their surrounding environments.

Topics covered in this edited book include various types of sensors used in robotics, sensing schemes (e-skin, tactile skin, e-nose, neuromorphic vision, and touch), sensing technologies, and their applications, including healthcare, prosthetics, robotics, and wearables.

This book will appeal to researchers, scientists, engineers, and graduate and advanced students working in robotics, sensor technologies, and electronics and their applications in robotics, haptics, prosthetics, wearable and interactive systems, cognitive engineering, neuro-engineering, computational neuroscience, medicine, and healthcare technologies.
