Series in Robotics and Automated Systems - Vol. 2
PARALLEL COMPUTATION SYSTEMS FOR ROBOTICS
Algorithms and Architectures
edited by A Fijany & A Bejczy (JPL/Caltech)
This book presents an extensive survey of the state-of-the-art research in parallel computational algorithms and architectures for robot manipulator control and simulation. It deals not only with specifics but also includes general and broader issues which serve as a useful foundation to the topic. The educational flavor of the book makes it a necessary resource for researchers, engineers and students wanting to be familiarized with the potential offered by the application of parallel processing to robotic problems, and its current issues and trends.
