Free Download Advances in Industrial Robotics and Intelligent Systems by António Paulo Moreira, Pedro Neto and Félix Vidal English | PDF | 2023 | 322 Pages | ISBN : 303656554X | 84.1 MB Robotics and intelligent systems are key technologies to promote efficient and innovative applications in the most diverse domains (industry, healthcare, agriculture, construction, mobility, etc.), performing and supporting activities that are not suitable to be performed by humans. Such activities are frequently time-consuming, repetitive tasks with low added value, which are physically demanding and/or dangerous., robotics and intelligent systems face several scientific and technological challenges related to their integration and interoperability with other systems, safety, flexibility, re-configurability and autonomy. These challenges are especially relevant when robots operate in real unstructured environments and share a workspace with humans and other equipment. This book collects research achievements, ideas, and applications regarding advanced intelligent robotic systems, covering diverse technologies and application domains. Generically, the contributions cover optimal path-planning strategies and innovative designs for mobile manipulators, the integration of robotic and intelligent systems, grasping, manipulation, teleoperation, haptics, user experience approaches for collaborative robots, and multi-agent systems.  Free Download Advances in Glaucoma Surgery by Michele Figus, Karl Mercieca English | PDF | 2023 | 284 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 18.2 MB Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible sight loss worldwide, with a prevalence of 64.3 million in 2013 and an estimated increase to 111.8 million by 2040 [1]. The initial treatment for glaucoma usually comprises topical medication, but further procedures depend on the type of glaucoma, disease stage and severity, and several individual factors, including age, life expectancy, treatment adherence, quality of life, and both patients' and clinicians' personal choices. Irrespective of all these factors, surgical intervention may still be required in those patients with significant progression and uncontrolled disease despite maximum medical therapy.

Free Download Advances in Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive Computing by Yingxu Wang, Du Zhang, Witold Kinsner English | PDF | 2010 | 301 Pages | ISBN : 3642160824 | 8.3 MB Cognitive Informatics (CI) is the science of cognitive information processing and its applications in cognitive computing. CI is a transdisciplinary enquiry of computer science, information science, cognitive science, and intelligence science that investigates into the internal information processing mechanisms and processes of the brain. Advances and engineering applications of CI have led to the emergence of cognitive computing and the development of Cognitive Computers (CCs) that reason and learn. As initiated by Yingxu Wang and his colleagues, CC has emerged and developed based on the transdisciplinary research in CI, abstract intelligence (aI), and denotational mathematics after the inauguration of the series of IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Informatics since 2002 at Univ. of Calgary, Stanford Univ., and Tsinghua Univ., etc.  Free Download Advances in Cardiac Signal Processing by U. Rajendra Acharya (Visiting Faculty), Jasjit S. Suri, Jos A. E. Spaan (Editor chief MBEC), Shankar M. Krishnan English | PDF | 2007 | 478 Pages | ISBN : 3540366741 | 18.1 MB Various disciplines have been bene?ted by the advent of high-performance computing in achieving practical solutions to their problems and the area of health care is no exception to this. Signal processing and data mining tools have been developed to enhance the computational capabilities so as to help clinicians in diagnosis and treatment. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a representative signal containing inf- mation about the condition of the heart. The shape and size of the P-QRS-T wave and the time intervals between various peaks contains useful infor- tion about the nature of disease a?icting the heart. However, the human - server cannot directly monitor these subtle details. Besides, since biosignals are highly subjective, the symptoms may appear at random in the timescale. The presence of cardiac abnormalities are generally re?ected in the shape of ECG waveform and heart rate. However, by the very nature of biosignals, this re?ection would be random in the timescale. That is, the diseases may not show up all the time, but would manifest at certain irregular (random) intervals during the day. Therefore the study of ECG pattern and heart rate variability has to be carried out over extended periods of time (i. e. , for 24 hours). Naturally the volume of the data to be handled is enormous and its study is tedious and time consuming. As a consequence, the possibility of the analyst missing (or misreading) vital information is high.
