In this book, a set of relevant, updated and selected papers in the field of automation and
robotics are presented. These papers describe projects where topics of artificial intelligence, modeling and simulation process, target tracking algorithms, kinematic constraints of the
closed loops, non-linear control, are used in advanced and recent research.
Also, the lecturer can find some of the new methodologies applied to solve complex problems in the field of control and robotic research fields. Moreover, this book can serve as a good information source for scientific scholars, engineers and beginners who would like to start working with both automation and robotic areas. Combining the ideas of the diverse disciplines involved in such areas, this book give hints and help about how to implement them on products for industrial automation and robotics applications.
I would like to thank all the researchers who send their works to share with the scientific community. The editors are extremely grateful to all of them for their support to complete
this book.
