Introduction

Abstract

AbstractThe series of research collections, CONTROL ENGINEERING IN ROBOTICS AND INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION, presents research outcomes in the fields of, but not limited to, control engineering, mechatronics, robotics and automation. The book's eleven chapters demonstrate the current state-of-the-art technology in the aforementioned fields. Research work on a rehabilitation robotic device, web-scrubber systems, swarm robots, an electric power-assisted steering system (EPAS), a navigation system for an unmanned vehicle as part of agricultural technology, a sensor-based piano-playing analyzer, a steel-plate virtual impact tester, a review work on underwater instrumentations, an efficient wireless communication system for sensor data and vision-based robot localization are presented in this book. These diverse contribution will be beneficial to researchers, industrialists and whoever else is interested in the topics.
