Intelligent components and instruments for control applications : selected papers from the IFAC symposium, Malaga, Spain, 20-22 May 1992

Intelligent control is an emergent field involving the development of new control techniques, such as reasoning, learning and perception, and has a great impact on a number of applications including robotics and process control. The symposium brought together control systems specialists, equipment manufacturers, and end-users, to evaluate techniques, components, and instruments for intelligent control. The selected papers in this volume cover intelligent control techniques, actuators, sensors, image processing, computer vision, software and communications. Papers relating to applications, such as robotics, power and process control, manufacturing, aerospace and traffic control are also included.
