Two New Volumes in ASMEs Robotics Book Series Now Available Two New Volumes in ASMEs Robotics Book Series Now Available Two New Volumes in ASME's Robotics Book Series Now Available Two new additions to the ASME Press Robotics Book Series - Designs and Prototypes of Mobile Robots and Mobile Robots for Dynamic Environments - were released by the Societys technical imprint this month. The two volumes, which were edited by Marco Ceccarelli and Emin Faruk Kececi, can be used as graduate-level course books or as guide books for the practicing engineer who is working on a specific problem described in one of the chapters. Vladimir Vantsevich is the series editor for the ASME Press Robotics Engineering Book Series. The 202-page Designs and Prototypes of Mobile Robots is comprised of six chapters addressing such subjects as linkages for leg mechanisms; exoskeletons and bipeds; mechanical design challenges in rescue robot prototyping; networked control for mobile robots; human-machine interface of mobile robot for posture; and robot education with mobile robots. The 180-page companion volume, Mobile Robots for Dynamic Environments, features five chapters: Underwater Robots - A Fascinating Challenge, A Novel Lighter-Than-Air Vehicle - The Flying Octopus, Robot Swarms: Dynamics and Control, Visual Attitude Estimation and Stabilization of Flying Robots and Mobile Robots for Earth Exploration - Applications, Technologies and Image-Processing Techniques for Navigation. Each volume is available to ASME members for $95 - a savings of $24 apiece on the retail price.
