Intelligent Automatic Generation Control 1st Edition

Insects, pests and weeds are responsible for substantial loss of crops and reduced food supplies, poorer quality of agricultural products, economic hardship for growers and processor. Generally, chemical control methods are neither always economical nor are they effective and may have associated unwanted health, safety and environmental risks. Biological control involves use of beneficial biological agents to control pests and offers an environmental friendly approach to the effective management of plant diseases and weeds.

Theory of Applied Robotics: Kinematics, Dynamics, and Control (2nd Edition) explains robotics concepts in detail, concentrating on their practical use. Related theorems and formal proofs are provided, as are real-life applications. The second edition includes updated and expanded exercise sets and problems. New coverage includes: components and mechanisms of a robotic system with actuators, sensors and controllers, along with updated and expanded material on kinematics. New coverage is also provided in sensing and control including position sensors, speed sensors and acceleration sensors.

This book is a compilation of selected papers from the Seventh Symposium on Digital Instrumentation and Control Technology for Nuclear Power Plant, held online on January 11, 2023. The purpose of this symposium is to discuss inspection, test, certification and research for the software and hardware of Instrumentation and Control (I&C) systems in nuclear power plants (NPP), such as sensors, actuators and control system. It provides a platform of technical exchange and experience sharing for those broad masses of experts and scholars and nuclear power practitioners. At the same time, it also provides a platform for the combination of production, teaching and research in universities and enterprises to promote the safe development of nuclear power plant. Readers will encounter new ideas for realizing a more efficient and safer instrumentation and control system.

Focused on new trends and developments in quality control from a worldwide perspective, this book presents the latest information on novel approaches in quality control. Its thirteen chapters cover three topics: intelligent manufacturing, robust design, and control charts.

From past decades, Computational intelligence embraces a number of nature-inspired computational techniques which mainly encompasses fuzzy sets, genetic algorithms, artificial neural networks and hybrid neuro-fuzzy systems to address the computational complexities such as uncertainties, vagueness and stochastic nature of various computational problems practically.

This book is a collection of papers presented at the International Conference on Intelligent Computing, Information and Control Systems (ICICCS 2020).
