Smart Electromechanical Systems Situational Control

This book introduces the latest achievements of Russian scientists regarding the theory and practice of situational control of the SEMS group. It also discusses the development of methods and algorithms for interaction of the SEMS group in situational control, based on the principles of security, flexibility, and adaptability in behavior, as well as parallelism in information processing, computing, and control.

Recently, the task of ensuring the functioning of robots in the framework of collective cooperation has become relevant, and the use of the principles of situational management of the SEMS group makes it possible to ensure the efficiency, reliability and safety of real-time operation.

The topics covered include, but are not limited to the following:

• Problems and principles of situation control
• Methods and algorithms of situational control
• Information and measuring support of situational control systems
• Simulation ofsituation control

This book is intended for students, scientists, and engineers specializing in the fields of smart electromechanical systems and robotics.
