This volume examines the role of objects in the region north of early dynastic state centers, at the intersection of Ancient China and Eurasia, a large area that stretches from Xinjiang to the China Sea, from c.3000 BCE to the mid-eighth century BCE. This area was a frontier, an ambiguous space that lay at the margins of direct political control by the metropolitan states, where local and colonial ideas and practices were reconstructed transculturally. These identities were often merged an...

In this book, the authors focus on three aspects related to the development of articulated agents: presenting an overview of high-level control algorithms for intelligent decision-making of articulated agents, experimental study of the properties of soft agents as the end-effector of articulated agents, and accurate management of low-level torque-control loop to accurately control the articulated agents. This book summarizes recent advances related to articulated agents. The motive behind ...

This book presents the proceedings of the 6th EAI International Conference on Robotics and Networks 2022 (ROSENET 2022). The conference explores the integration of networks and robotic technologies, which has become a topic of increasing interest for both researchers and developers from academic fields and industries worldwide. The authors posit that big networks will be the main approach to the next generation of robotic research, with the explosive number of networks models and increasin...

This book provides a detailed study of urban agricultural development. It establishes a comprehensive evaluation system for urban agriculture and accurately grasps the development level and status of urban agriculture, to provide action guidelines for decision-making bodies in urban agriculture. This book is intended for graduate students who are interested in the development of urban agriculture and researchers studying the field of urban agriculture.

This book presents a comprehensive exploration of the dynamical system approach in numerical linear algebra, with a special focus on computing generalized inverses, solving systems of linear equations, and addressing linear matrix equations. Bridging four major scientific domains—numerical linear algebra, recurrent neural networks (RNNs), dynamical systems, and unconstrained nonlinear optimization—this book offers a unique, interdisciplinary perspective.Generalized Matrix Inver...

This book focuses on the design, management, and cybersecurity of connected and autonomous vehicles under the umbrella of the Internet of Vehicles. Both principles and engineering practice are covered, from the design perspectives of communication, computing, and perception to ITS management. An in-depth study of a range of topics such as microscopic traffic behavior modeling and simulation, localization, V2X communication, cooperative cloud-edge computing, and multi-sensor fusion for perc...

The success of the Internet of Things and rich cloud services have helped create the need for edge computing, in which data processing occurs in part at the network edge, rather than completely in the cloud. In Edge Computing: A Primer the vision and definition of Edge computing is introduced, as well as several key techniques that enable Edge computing. Then, four applications that benefit from Edge computing are presented as case studies, ranging from smart homes and public safe...
