Robots in space
\"Robots don't need to breathe, eat, or sleep. This makes them perfectly suited for work in the vacuum of space. Rovers on Mars have given humanity a wealth of knowledge about this planet, and machines that repair shuttles and other equipment are invaluable to astronauts. In this exciting STEM exploration, readers learn about space robots. Intriguing sidebars explore the ways science fiction has influenced the creation of real robots, and informative fact boxes and accessible main text discuss robots of the past, present, and future. Full-color photographs and a list of critical-thinking questions keep readers engaged as they learn\"-- Provided by publisher.

New trends in medical and service robotics : MESROB 2023
This volume contains the papers of the 8th International Workshop on Medical and Service Robots (MESROB) which was held in Craiova, Romania, on June 7-10, 2023. The main topics include: design of medical devices, kinematics and dynamics for medical robotics, exoskeletons and prostheses, anthropomorphic hands, therapeutic robots and rehabilitation, cognitive robots, humanoid and service robots, assistive robots and elderly assistance, surgical robots, human-robot interfaces, haptic devices, medical treatments, medical lasers, and surgical planning and navigation. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists, demonstrating that medical and service robotics will drive the technological and societal change in the coming decades.

Metareasoning for robots : adapting in dynamic and uncertain environments
This book is a state of the art resource that robotics researchers and engineers can use to make their robots and autonomous vehicles smarter. Readers will be able to describe metareasoning, select an appropriate metareasoning approach, and synthesize metareasoning policies. Metareasoning for Robots adopts a systems engineering perspective in which metareasoning is an approach that can improve the overall robot or autonomous system, not just one component or subsystem. This book introduces key concepts, discusses design options for metareasoning approaches and policies, and presents approaches for testing and evaluation of metareasoning policies. After considering the conceptual design phase, it discusses how to implement metareasoning in the robot's software architecture and how to synthesize metareasoning policies. Every chapter has references to valuable works on robotics and metareasoning, and the book uses examples from the author's own research and from other research groups to illustrate these ideas. In addition, this book provides links to books and papers for readers who wish to investigate these topics further.
