Nonlinear control of robotic systems for environmental waste and restoration

Abstract

This text focuses on the robust control of robotic manipulators, with special emphasis on the theoretical and implementational issues for environmental waste and restoration applications. The book has been written from a robot control engineering perspective, and covers issues such as system stability and robustness, high accuracy tracking, and other control measures of dynamic system performance, and on implementation specifics for environmental restoration problems that necessitate robot control solutions, including hazardous waste (eg. nuclear).
