Computational Knowledge Vision: The First Footprints presents a novel, advanced framework which combines structuralized knowledge and visual models. In advanced image and visual perception studies, a visual model's understanding and reasoning ability often determines whether it works well in complex scenarios. This book presents state-of-the-art mainstream vision models for visual perception. As computer vision is one of the key gateways to artificial intelligence and a significant component of modern intelligent systems, this book delves into computer vision systems that are highly specialized and very limited in their ability to do visual reasoning and causal inference.Questions naturally arise in this arena, including (1) How can human knowledge be incorporated with visual models? (2) How does human knowledge promote the performance of visual models? To address these problems, this book proposes a new framework for computer vision-computational knowledge vision.

Earth-moving is a common activity at mines, construction sites, hazardous waste cleanup locations, and road works. Expensive and sophisticated machines such as wheel loaders are used for earth-moving. This book presents a robotic control approach to the computer control of wheel-loader-type excavators. The unpredictable and dynamic rock excavation environment poses challenges for the design of the real time control algorithm. The control method developed here is based on the analysis of human operators' performance; it applies neural networks, fuzzy logic and finite state machines to embody human excavation strategies for on-line bucket digging trajectory design. A behavior-based control architecture organizes operation of the modules to achieve quick system response. Extensive experiments have been performed to demonstrate the diggability of the algorithm in various difficult-to-excavate environments.

Flexible robotic manipulators pose various challenges in research as compared to rigid robotic manipulators, ranging from system design, structural optimization, and construction to modeling, sensing, and control. Although significant progress has been made in many aspects over the last one-and-a-half decades, many issues are not resolved yet, and simple, effective, and reliable controls of flexible manipulators still remain an open quest. Clearly, further efforts and results in this area will contribute significantly to robotics (particularly automation) as well as its application and education in general control engineering. To accelerate this process, the leading experts in this important area present in this book the state of the art in advanced studies of the design, modeling, control and applications of flexible manipulators.
