Advances in Robot Manipulators

The purpose of this volume in Advances in Robot Manipulators is to encourage and inspire the continual invention of robot manipulators for science and the good of humanity. The concepts of artificial intelligence combined with the engineering and technology of feedback control, have great potential for new, useful and exciting machines. The concept of eclecticism for the design, development, simulation and implementation of a real time controller for an intelligent, vision guided robots is now being explored. The dream of an eclectic perceptual,creative controller that can select its own tasks and perform autonomous operations with reliability and dependability is starting to evolve.
