Neuromorphic Computing between Reality and Future Needs
Neuromorphic computing is a one of computer engineering methods that to model their elements as the human brain and nervous system. Many sciences as biology, mathematics, electronic engineering, computer science and physics have been integrated to construct artificial neural systems. In this chapter, the basics of Neuromorphic computing together with existing systems having the materials, devices, and circuits. The last part includes algorithms and applications in some fields
UAV or Drones for Remote Sensing Applications in GPS/GNSS Enabled and GPS/GNSS Denied Environments
The design of novel UAV systems and the use of UAV platforms integrated with robotic sensing and imaging techniques, as well as the development of processing workflows and the capacity of ultra-high temporal and spatial resolution data, have enabled a rapid uptake of UAVs and drones across several industries and application domains.This book provides a forum for high-quality peer-reviewed papers that broaden awareness and understanding of single- and multiple-UAV developments for remote sensing applications, and associated developments in sensor technology, data processing and communications, and UAV system design and sensing capabilities in GPS-enabled and, more broadly, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-enabled and GPS/GNSS-denied environments.Contributions include:UAV-based photogrammetry, laser scanning, multispectral imaging, hyperspectral imaging, and thermal imaging;UAV sensor applications; spatial ecology; pest detection; reef; forestry; volcanology; precision agriculture wildlife species tracking; search and rescue; target tracking; atmosphere monitoring; chemical, biological, and natural disaster phenomena; fire prevention, flood prevention; volcanic monitoring; pollution monitoring; microclimates; and land use;Wildlife and target detection and recognition from UAV imagery using deep learning and machine learning techniques;UAV-based change detection
New advances in vehicular technology and automotive engineering
An automobile was seen as a simple accessory of luxury in the early years of the past
century. Therefore, it was an expensive asset which none of the common citizen could
afford. It was necessary to pass a long period and waiting for Henry Ford to establish
the first plants with the series fabrication. This new industrial paradigm makes easy to
the common American to acquire an automobile, either for running away or for
working purposes. Since that date, the automotive research grown exponentially to the
levels observed in the actuality. Now, the automobiles are indispensable goods; saying
with other words, the automobile is a first necessity article in a wide number of
aspects of living: for workers to allow them to move from their homes into their
workplaces, for transportation of students, for allowing the domestic women in their
home tasks, for ambulances to carry people with decease to the hospitals, for
transportation of materials, and so on, the list don’t ends. The new goal pursued by the
automotive industry is to provide electric vehicles at low cost and with high reliability.
This commitment is justified by the oil’s peak extraction on 50s of this century and also
by the necessity to reduce the emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere, as well as to reduce
the needs of this even more valuable natural resource. In order to achieve this task and
to improve the regular cars based on oil, the automotive industry is even more
concerned on doing applied research on technology and on fundamental research of
new materials. The most important idea to retain from the previous introduction is to
clarify the minds of the potential readers for the direct and indirect penetration of the
vehicles and the vehicular industry in the today’s life. In this sequence of ideas, this
book tries not only to fill a gap by presenting fresh subjects related to the vehicular
technology and to the automotive engineering but to provide guidelines for future
research.
This book account with valuable contributions from worldwide experts of
automotive’s field. The amount and type of contributions were judiciously selected to
cover a broad range of research. The reader can found the most recent and
cutting-edge sources of information divided in four major groups: electronics (power,
communications, optics, batteries, alternators and sensors), mechanics (suspension
control, torque converters, deformation analysis, structural monitoring), materials (nanotechnology, nanocomposites, lubrificants, biodegradable, composites, structural
monitoring) and manufacturing (supply chains).
We are sure that you will enjoy this book and will profit with the technical and
scientific contents. To finish, we are thankful to all of those who contributed to this
book and who made it possible.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Evolutionary Computation
This book presents several recent advances on Evolutionary Computation, specially evolution-based optimization methods and hybrid algorithms for several applications, from optimization and learning to pattern recognition and bioinformatics. This book also presents new algorithms based on several analogies and metafores, where one of them is based on philosophy, specifically on the philosophy of praxis and dialectics. In this book it is also presented interesting applications on bioinformatics, specially the use of particle swarms to discover gene expression patterns in DNA microarrays. Therefore, this book features representative work on the field of evolutionary computation and applied sciences. The intended audience is graduate, undergraduate, researchers, and anyone who wishes to become familiar with the latest research work on this field

More than 250 participants coming from 30 different countries worldwide have presented their latest research activities in the field of drones. 38 papers have been presented during the conference including various topics such as Aerodynamics, Aeroacoustics, Propulsion, Autopilots, Sensors, Communication systems, Mission planning techniques, Artificial Intelligence, Human-machine cooperation as applied to drones
Human-Robot Collaborations in Industrial Automation
Technology is changing the manufacturing world. For example, sensors are being used to track inventories from the manufacturing floor up to a retail shelf or a customer’s door. These types of interconnected systems have been called the fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, and are projected to lower manufacturing costs. As industry moves toward these integrated technologies and lower costs, engineers will need to connect these systems via the Internet of Things (IoT). These engineers will also need to design how these connected systems interact with humans. The focus of this Special Issue is the smart sensors used in these human–robot collaborations
