This Companion provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary review of the future of energy, sustainability and societal well-being. It explores energy’s connection to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) using a variety of perspectives from business sustainability, disruptive technologies, law, health and finance.Illustrating a worldwide perspective on energy challenges and sustainability dynamics, this Companion incorporates diversity, recognizes the complex interaction of factors in energy systems and advocates for a holistic understanding to inform sustainable development. Global experts and practitioners investigate key issues including business practices, disruptive technologies, legal considerations, health impacts and sustainable finance. The Companion further emphasizes the collective responsibility for an inclusive, sustainable and resilient future, and aligns with the ‘leave no one behind’ commitment in shaping a cleaner, fairer society. The Elgar Companion to Energy and Sustainability is an excellent resource for those working and studying in the energy field and in the interdisciplinary aspects of energy and business sustainability, energy and disruptive technologies, energy and health, energy and law, and energy and finance, as they will find the range of perspectives on policies and regulations to be thought-provoking. Researchers, policymakers of the SDGs and those looking to incorporate sustainable practices within organizations will also find this Companion to be a useful guide.

This open access book mainly focuses on the safe control of robot manipulators. The control schemes are mainly developed based on dynamic neural network, which is an important theoretical branch of deep reinforcement learning. In order to enhance the safety performance of robot systems, the control strategies include adaptive tracking control for robots with model uncertainties, compliance control in uncertain environments, obstacle avoidance in dynamic workspace. The idea for this book on solving safe control of robot arms was conceived during the industrial applications and the research discussion in the laboratory. Most of the materials in this book are derived from the authors’ papers published in journals, such as IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, neurocomputing, etc. This book can be used as a reference book for researcher and designer of the robotic systems and AI based controllers, and can also be used as a reference book for senior undergraduateand graduate students in colleges and universities.
