Über dieses Buch

This self-contained book, written by active researchers, presents up-to-date information on smart maintenance strategies for human–robot interaction (HRI) and the associated applications of novel search algorithms in a single volume, eliminating the need to consult scattered resources. Unlike other books, it addresses maintaining a smart HRI from three dimensions, namely, hardware, cyberware, and hybrid-asset management, covering problems encountered in each through a wide variety of representative examples and elaborated illustrations. Further, the diverse mathematical models and intelligent systems constructions make the book highly practical. It enables readers interested in maintenance, robotics, and intelligent systems but perplexed by myriads of interrelated issues to grasp basic methodologies. At the same time, the referenced literature can be used as a roadmap for conducting deeper researches.

Introduction

Frontmatter
Chapter 1. Introduction to Human Robot Interaction
Abstract
This chapter introduces some general knowledge relative to the broad area of human robot interaction (HRI). The exceptional achievements made by a variety of novel robots have motivated scholars to continually develop the next generation of robots in terms of their safety and dependability. Some background information of HRI are presented in Sect. 1.1 from physical and cognitive perspectives, respectively. Then, an extended HRI classification (used throughout this book) is briefed in Sect. 1.2. Section 1.3 summarises this chapter.

Chapter 2. Introduction to Smart Maintenance
Abstract
This chapter introduces some general knowledge relative to the broad area of maintenance. Unlike other easy to automate processes (e.g., product systems), maintenance work usually involves one-off, backdrop-sensitive activities. Some general classification of maintenance are discussed in Sect. 2.1. The reactive and proactive types of maintenance strategy are briefed in Sects. 2.2 and 2.3, respectively. Then, a holistic smart maintenance strategy (followed throughout this book) is explained in Sect. 2.4. Section 2.5 summarises this chapter.

Chapter 3. Introduction to Intelligent Search Algorithms
Abstract
This chapter introduces some general knowledge relative to the broad area of intelligent search algorithms. The desirable merits of these clever algorithms and their remarkable achievements in many fields have inspired researchers (from a variety of disciplines) to continuously develop their ameliorated versions. Some historical information regarding search and artificial intelligence are briefed in Sect. 3.1. Then, the relevant developed-, developing-, and emerging-intelligent search algorithms are presented in Sect. 3.2. Section 3.3 summarises this chapter.
