The book encompasses the kinematic and dynamic modelling, analysis, design, and control of mechatronic and robotic systems, with the scope of improving their performance, as well as simulating and testing novel devices and control architectures. A broad range of disciplines and topics are included, such as robotic manipulation, mobile systems, cable-driven robots, wearable and rehabilitation devices, variable stiffness safety-oriented mechanisms, optimization of robot performance, and energy-saving systems.Technology: general issuesbicssc"whip-lashing" methodadaptive controlattenuate disturbancebionic mechanism designcable-driven parallel robotscable-suspended robotscasting robotcombined simulationcontrolcoordinated motion controlcost of transportCPGdifferential cylinderdirectional indexdriving force distributiondynamic modelingdynamic workspaceelectric unmanned ground vehicle (EUGV)energy consumptionenergy efficiencyenergy savingevolutionary programmingexoskeletonextended Kalman filterfast terminal sliding mode controlfeedback linearizationfeedforwardfinger motion rehabilitationfriendly cobotsfuzzy compensatorfuzzy logicfuzzy logic-based self-tuninggait optimizationgenetic algorithmheuristic optimizationhexapod robothuman-robot collisionshydraulic presshydraulicsimpact analysisinertial delay controlinstalled powerintegrated modelKalman filterkinematicsmaneuverability and stabilitymanipulator armmechanics of vehicle-terrain interactionmicro aerial vehiclesmobile robotsmotion controlmotion planningmulti-support shaft system vibration controlmultibody simulationn/aoptimal contact forcesoptimizationpath planningperformance evaluationpHRIPIDplanetary surface explorationprocessing performancequadruped robotquadrupedal locomotionredesignreduction of cycle timerehabilitation devicesrobot manipulatorsrobotic landersafety criteriasaturation functionself-growing networksemi-active seat suspensionserial robotsix-wheel drive (6WD)skid steeringslider-crank mechanismsliding mode extended state observerSmart SpringSolidWorks and MATLAB software applicationsspace roboticssuper-twistingsuper-twisting control lawsynthesissynthesis problemterrain awarenessthrowing robotstractor-trailertrajectory optimizationtrajectory planningtransverse bending vibrationtrot gaitunderwater vehicle-manipulator systemV2SOMvariable radius drumvariable stiffness actuatorvehicle dynamicsvehicle motion controlvisual-based controlwheel slip compensationTechnology: general issuesGasparetto Alessandroedt97528Seriani StefanoedtScalera LorenzoedtGasparetto AlessandroothSeriani StefanoothScalera LorenzoothBOOK9910557699303321Modelling and Control of Mechatronic and Robotic Systems3022621UNINA04816nam 2201309z- 450 991055749880332120210501(CKB)5400000000042843(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/69258(oapen)doab69258(EXLCZ)99540000000004284320202105d2020 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMeiofauna Biodiversity and EcologyBasel, SwitzerlandMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20201 online resource (254 p.)3-03943-132-3 3-03943-133-1 Sedimentary habitats cover the vast majority of the ocean floor and constitute the largest ecosystem on Earth. These systems supply fundamental services to human beings, such as food production and nutrient recycling. It is well known that meiofauna are an abundant and ubiquitous component of sediments, even though their biodiversity and importance in marine ecosystem functioning remain to be fully investigated. In this book, the meiofaunal biodiversity trends in marine habitats worldwide are documented, along with the collection of empirical evidence on their role in ecosystem services, such as the production, consumption, and decomposition of organic matter, and energy transfer to higher and lower trophic levels. Meiofaunal activities, like feeding and bioturbation, induce changes in several physico-chemical and biological properties of sediments, and might increase the resilience of the benthic ecosystem processes that are essential for the supply of ecosystem goods and services required by humans. As a key component of marine habitats, the taxonomical and functional aspects of the meiofaunal community are also used for the ecological assessment of the sediments' quality status, providing important information on the anthropogenic impact of benthos.Biology, life sciencesbicsscEcological science, the BiospherebicsscResearch and information: generalbicsscABGDArabian Gulfassociated faunabenthic ecologybenthic foraminiferabenthosBINsbiodiversitybioindicatorsbiological substratebiological traitsCaribbeanchecklistciliophoracletodidaecommunity ecologydam impactdensitydiversityDNA barcodingecologyecosystem functioningepibiontsepibiosisestuaryFloridafree-living marine nematodesfree-living nematodesfreshwatergastrotrichaGulf of Mexicoheavy metalshotspotshuntermaniidaekeyKoreaKuwaitloggerheadsmacrofaunamale genitaliamale/female matchingmarinemarine biodiversitymarine invertebrate hostmeiofaunameiofauna paradoxMonstrillidaeMonstrillopsis paradoxa sp. nov.Monstrillopsis planifronsmorphological taxonomymPTPNannopusnematodaNematodanematodesnew speciesNorth Adriatic Seanuclear genesphoresispictorial keypore patternprokaryotesrhizotrichidaesea turtlessemi-parasiticSouth AmericaSouth Hemispherespecies diversityspecies richnesssuctoreatagmosistaxonomytrophic statustropicalβ-diversityBiology, life sciencesEcological science, the BiosphereResearch and information: generalSemprucci Federicaedt1294158Sandulli RobertoedtSemprucci FedericaothSandulli RobertoothBOOK9910557498803321Meiofauna Biodiversity and Ecology3022945UNINA
