Book Description
Outer-space service officer Bordman uses incredible knowledge and skill to make the star-flung outposts of civilization ready to receive new, vast surges of humanity, as mankind prepares to colonize the galaxy. A vast tale of interplanetary exploration, as Bordman visits Lani III—a glacier-land warmed by man, Xosa II—a shining desert made green by human ingenuity, and Loren II—an inferno of beasts, tamed by human science and daring. One of the classics of 1950s science fiction, now featuring an introduction by John Betancourt.

Field and Service Robotics
Author: Alexander Zelinsky
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1447112733
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 558
Book Description
Joe Engelberger, the pioneer of the robotics industry, wrote in his 1989 book Robotics in Service that the inspiration to write his book came as a reaction to an industry-sponsored forecast study of robot applications, which predicted that in 1995 applications of robotics outside factories - the traditional domain of industrial robots - would amount to less than 1% of total sales. Engelberger believed that this forecast was very wrong, and instead predicted that the non-industrial class of robot applications would become the largest class. Engelbergers prediction has yet to come to pass. However, he did correctly foresee the growth in non-traditional applications of robots. Robots are now beginning to march from the factories and into field and service applications. This book presents a selection of papers from the first major international conference dedicated to field and service applications of robotics. This selection includes papers from the leading research laboratories in the world together with papers from companies that are building and selling new and innovative robotic technology. It describes interesting aspects of robots in the field ranging from mining, agriculture, construction, cargo handling, subsea operations, removal of landmines, to terrestrial exploration. It also covers a diverse range of service applications, such as cleaning, propagating plants and aiding the elderly and handicapped, and gives considerable attention to the technology required to realise robust, reliable and safe robots.
