This book presents various techniques to carry out the gait modeling, the gait patterns synthesis, and the control of biped robots. Some general information on the human walking, a presentation of the current experimental biped robots, and the application of walking bipeds are given. The modeling is based on the decomposition on a walking step into different sub-phases depending on the way each fo…

Рассмотрены основные сведения о комбайне «ACROS», его регулировках, настройках комбайнов для различных условий работы, технического обслуживания, основные возможные неисправности и способы их устранения, правила техники безопасности и противопожарных мероприятий.
В пособии рассматриваются физические основы пластичности и прочности, а также разрушения кристаллических материалов при их нагружении. Для оценки деформационного поведения кристаллических материалов привлекаются современные представления об их атомно–молекулярном строении, а также положения теории дислокаций. Изложены принципиальные отличия двух подходов для описания пластической деформации и разр…
Due to the dramatic increase in competition over the last few years, it has become more and more important for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to run an efficient business and offer an adequate Quality of Service. The Competitive Internet Service Provider is a comprehensive guide for those seeking to do just that. Oliver Heckmann approaches the issue from a system point of view, looking not only…
Haikonen envisions autonomous robots that perceive and understand the world directly, acting in it in a natural human-like way without the need of programs and numerical representation of information. By developing higher-level cognitive functions through the power of artificial associative neuron architectures, the author approaches the issues of machine consciousness. Robot Brains expertly outli…
A wearable robot is a mechatronic system that is designed around the shape and function of the human body, with segments and joints corresponding to those of the person it is externally coupled with. Teleoperation and power amplification were the first applications, but after recent technological advances the range of application fields has widened. Increasing recognition from the scientific commu…
Building on the success of the first edition, UMTS Networks second edition allows readers to continue their journey through UMTS up to the latest 3GPP standardization phase, Release 5. Containing revised, updated and brand new material, it provides a comprehensive view on the UMTS network architecture and its latest developments. Accompanied by numerous illustrations, the practical approach of the…
Next generation wireless is not about technology, it is all about marketing…. What is the service offering rather than the features of the latest handset? Who are the customers and which are the most profitable? How do you identify and market to communities? How do you tariff for profit? If you need to know the answers and more, you really need to read this book. In the 1990s mobile operators unde…
This book provides the first overview of the service technologies available to telecoms operators working in a post-convergence world. Previous books have focused either on computer networks or on telecoms networks. This is the first to bring the two together and provide a single reference source for information that is currently only to be found in disparate journals, tool specifications and stan…
Access to the Internet is an increasing problem in many areas of the world. As the popularity and usefulness of the Internet increases on a daily basis, lack of access to the technology is putting many groups at a disadvantage in terms of better education, better jobs and even in terms of higher levels of civic participation. However, creating a network infrastructure to serve outlying communities…
IP (internet protocol) Telephony, enabled by softswitches, is going to usher in a new era in telecommunications. By putting voice and data over one IP network, operators can enjoy lower costs and create new, revenue-generating «multimedia» services. This valuable reference offers a comprehensive overview of the technology behind IP telephony and offers essential information to network engineers, d…
