Fumiya Iida - Böcker

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th Annual Conference Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems, TAROS 2023, held in Cambridge, UK, during September 13–15, 2023.The 40 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 submissions.They cover a wide range of different topics such as: agri-food robotics; autonomy; collaborative and service robotics; locomotion and manipulation; machine vision; multi-robot systems; soft robotics; tactile sensing; and teleoperation.

This book offers a comprehensive, timely snapshot of current research, technologies and applications of soft robotics. The different chapters, written by international experts across multiple fields of soft robotics, cover innovative systems and technologies for soft robot legged locomotion, soft robot manipulation, underwater soft robotics, biomimetic soft robotic platforms, plant-inspired soft robots, flying soft robots, soft robotics in surgery, as well as methods for their modeling and control. Based on the results of the second edition of the Soft Robotics Week, held on April 25 – 30, 2016, in Livorno, Italy, the book reports on the major research lines and novel technologies presented and discussed during the event.

This book is devoted to the rapidly growing highly interdisciplinary field of embodied artificial intelligence involving researchers from areas as diverse as computer science, engineering, cognitive science, neuroscience, biology, biomechanics, material science, and linguistics. Originating from a Dagstuhl seminar, the revised reviewed papers presented in this book constitute a representative state-of-the-art in the field of embodied artificial intelligence. The 23 papers presented together with an introductory overview are organized in topical sections on- philosophical and conceptual issues- information, dynamics, and morphology- principles of embodiment for real world applications-developmental approaches- artificial evolution and self-reconfiguration
