From aeronautics and manufacturing to healthcare and disaster management, systems engineering (SE) now focuses on designing applications that ensure performance optimization, robustness, and reliability while combining an emerging group of heterogeneous systems to realize a common goal. Use SoS to Revolutionize Management of Large Organizations, Factories, and Systems Intelligent Control Systems with an Introduction to System of Systems Engineering integrates the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and systems control in a framework applicable to both simple dynamic systems and large-scale system of systems (SoS). For decades, NASA has used SoS methods, and major manufacturers—including Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Northrop-Grumman, Raytheon, BAE Systems—now make large-scale systems integration and SoS a key part of their business strategies, dedicating entire business units to this remarkably efficient approach.Simulate Novel Robotic Systems and ApplicationsTranscending theory, this book offers a complete and practical review of SoS and some of its fascinating applications, including:

Training engineers to integrate traditional systems control theory with soft computing techniques further nourishes emerging SoS technology. With this in mind, the authors address the fundamental precepts at the core of SoS, which uses human heuristics to model complex systems, providing a scientific rationale for integrating independent, complex systems into a single coordinated, stabilized, and optimized one. They provide readers with MATLAB® code, which can be downloaded from the publisher''s website to simulate presented results and projects that offer practical, hands-on experience using concepts discussed throughout the book.

This book explains how to design and control a soft robot in understandable language. In addition, it provides a comprehensive coverage of the essential theory and techniques used in soft robotics that can be used by graduate students in soft robotics. The book covers several key areas in soft robots, ranging from design and fabrication to modelling and control. It also includes many case studies and examples. The book clearly explains mathematical concepts and uses illustrative explanation to help engineers and junior graduate students understand the physical meaning of the key concepts and approaches in soft robotics. 

Reading this book gives professional engineers and students a sound knowledge of soft robotics that they can take to their careers and research.
