Virtual reality is a computer-generated, three-dimensional scene within which a user can move and interact with objects. It is becoming popular both to enable the visualization of ideas and as a direct representation/simulation of complex objects and interactions. This introduction to the field of virtual reality explores its applications to the ...
Recent advances and development in the field of robotics, with emphasis on the mathematical and computational aspects, are presented in these conference proceedings. The papers are grouped under several themes which span the broad scope of modern robotics, including sensory systems, computational parallel processing aspects, kinematics, dynamics ...
This title records what happened when, in February 2002, the author and then his wife had computer chips placed into their nervous systems, linked to a computer. Can their emotions and experiences be read and recorded and beamed back into the chips so that feelings can be re-experienced?
Following an introduction to neural network technology, this study explores recent research developments in the field. The topics discussed include electronic speech and vision, the fundamentals and applications of neural control, the application of neural networks to process control, and more.
This volume is based upon the 2nd IEEE European Workshop on Computer-Intensive Methods in Control and Signal Processing, subtitled "Can We Beat the Curse of Dimensionality?", held in Prague, August 1996. The book brings together a blend of approaches to a common theme from a variety of international research groups in engineering. The 18 ...
