"Mobile manipulators combine the advantages of mobile platforms and robotic arms, extending their operational range and functionality to large spaces and remote, demanding, and/or dangerous environments. They also bring complexity and difficulty in dynamic modeling and control system design. However, advances in nonlinear system analysis and control system design offer powerful tools and concepts for the control of mobile manipulator sys ..."
"There are plenty of challenging and interesting problems open for investigation in the field of switched systems. Stability issues help to generate many complex nonlinear dynamic behaviours within switched systems. Professors Sun and Ge present a thorough investigation of stability effects on three broad classes of switching mechanism: arbitrary switching where stability represents robustness to unpredictable and undesirable perturbati ..."
""Modeling, Control and Coordination of Helicopter Systems" provides a comprehensive treatment of helicopter systems, ranging from related nonlinear flight dynamic modeling and stability analysis to advanced control design for single helicopter systems, and also covers issues related to the coordination and formation control of multiple helicopter systems to achieve high performance tasks. Ensuring stability in helicopter flight is a cha ..."

"It has long been the goal of engineers to develop tools that enhance our ability to do work, increase our quality of life, or perform tasks that are either beyond our ability, too hazardous, or too tedious to be left to human efforts. Autonomous mobile robots are the culmination of decades of research and development, and their potential is seemingly unlimited.Roadmap to the FutureServing as the first comprehensive reference on this int ..."

"Zhijun Li, Shuzhi Sam Ge. Preface. In the robotics and automation literature,
mobile manipulators (manipulators mounted on mobile bases, platforms or
vehicles) have received much attention since the beginning of the 1990s for their
extended space of operation and extra degrees of freedom offered by the vehicle
for accomplishing specific (typically, “long range”) manipulative tasks that
otherwise could not be executed and accomplish ..."

"Switched linear systems have enjoyed a particular growth in interest since the 1990s. The large amount of data and ideas thus generated have, until now, lacked a co-ordinating framework to focus them effectively on some of the fundamental issues such as the problems of robust stabilizing switching design, feedback stabilization and optimal switching. This deficiency is resolved by this book which features: nucleus of constructive desig ..."
"Apply Sliding Mode Theory to Solve Control Problems Interest in SMC has grown rapidly since the first edition of this book was published. This second edition includes new results that have been achieved in SMC throughout the past decade relating to both control design methodology and applications. In that time, Sliding Mode Control (SMC) has continued to gain increasing importance as a universal design tool for the robust control of ..."

"Operations. (Geoff. Lyons. and. Minoo. Patel). 9.1. Introduction. Marine risers are
slender ocean structures subjected to a wide range of internal and external
forces. Examples of internal forces are those due to self weight, internal
hydrostatic pressures, and the momentum and Coriolis forces induced by internal
flow. ... This chapter describes the analysis of vertical marine risers under the
influence of these forces and the subs ..."
