The essential introduction to the principles and applications of feedback systems — now fully revised and expanded.

The aim of this book is to present methods needed for the analysis of electrical machine performances in transients and steady-state conditions by means of simulations in MATLAB-Simulink and by means of FEM. This book is devoted to students, PhD students, postgraduates of electrical engineering, researchers, and scientists dealing with the analysis, design, and optimization of electrical machine properties. The purpose is to present methods used for the analysis of transients and steady-state conditions.

This book explores path planning (PP) in the context of road vehicles, robots, off-road scenarios, multi-robot motion, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs ).

This book presents a comprehensive review of currently available Control Performance Assessment methods. It covers a broad range of classical and modern methods, with a main focus on assessment practice, and is intended to help practitioners learn and properly perform control assessment in the industrial reality. Further, it offers an educational guide for control engineers, who are currently in high demand in the industry.

This book has been written by two experts in ventilation and indoor air quality with vast experience in the field of kitchen ventilation in both Asia and Europe.

Discussing advanced theories of and design approaches for kitchen ventilation, it is a useful reference resource for a wide range of readers, including HVAC researchers, designers and architects.

This book critically examines the development and historical evolution of medical robotics with a particular focus on urologic robotic surgery.

This book presents recent studies of unmanned robotic systems and their applications.

As the sister book to “Introduction to Multicopter Design and Control,” published by Springer in 2017, this book focuses on using a practical process to help readers to deepen their understanding of multicopter design and control. Novel tools with tutorials on multicopters are presented, which can help readers move from theory to practice.

The aim of this book is to present a number of digital and technology solutions to real-world problems across transportation sectors and infrastructures. This book will be useful to a wide range of audiences: university staff and students, engineers, and business people working in relevant fields.

This book presents some new modelling methods and technologies for renewable energy generators including wind, ocean, and hydropower systems.

This book gathers selected research papers presented at the International Conference on Power, Control and Communication Infrastructure 2019 (ICPCCI 2019), organized by the Institute of Infrastructure, Technology, Research and Management (IITRAM), Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, on July 4–5, 2019. It presents the latest advances, trends and challenges in control system technologies and infrastructures.

Though there have been significant advances in the theory and applications of linear time-invariant systems, developments regarding repetitive control have been sporadic. At the same time, there is a dearth of literature on repetitive control (RC) for nonlinear systems.

This volume is dedicated to Legionnaires' disease - an important public health topic as it involves environmental and public issues, as far as its spread and prevention are concerned.

This book tries to be a focal point and motivate further research by encompassing crosswise and widespread knowledge about this critical and exciting issue by bringing to light the different purposes and methods developed for risk assessment in ATM.
