Dictionary Of Robot Technology In Four Languages

Hardbound. This dictionary provides the terminology used in all fields of robotics: basic technological principles, robot construction, robot tappets, robot drives, robot controls, robot kinematics, effectors, sensors, robot computer systems, robot programming, robot application, and development tendencies.Compiled particularly for specialized scientists and engineers working on robot development or the application of robot technology, it is also a valuable reference work for lecturers and students at universities, technical and engineering colleges, and other schools of higher education where robotics is studied, and serves as a useful aid for translators.

The aim of each volume of this series Guides to Information Sources is to reduce the time which needs to be spent on patient searching and to recommend the best starting point and sources most likely to yield the desired information. The criteria for selection provide a way into a subject to those new to the field and assists in identifying major new or possibly unexplored sources to those who already have some acquaintance with it. The series attempts to achieve evaluation through a careful selection of sources and through the comments provided on those sources.

A compilation of over 4,000 terms and their definitions relevant to artificial intelligence and robotics. Keeping in mind newcomers and more experienced business people in the field, it includes multiple and alternative meanings, abbreviations, acronyms, and foreign expressions. Supplies both general and specialized entries. Cites the relationship between robotics, AI, and computer control terms where applicable. Groups entries containing mutual concepts together alphabetically, by their common term. Identifies archaic terms and their preferred alternative. Useful for increasing clarity, exactness, and stabilizing the most current terminology.

**** The Brit counterpart to Sheehy (in which it is recommended). The new edition places the author, title, subject indices in each volume. Many entries cite reviews from other sources.
