Mobile robot motion planning in unstructured dynamic environments is a challenging task. Thus, often suboptimal methods are employed which perform global path planning and local obstacle avoidance separately. This work introduces a holistic planning algorithm which is based on the concept of state

Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) are widely used to model control systems in engineering, natural sciences, and economy. Optimal control plays a central role in optimizing such systems and to operate them effi ciently and safely. The intention of this textbook is to provide both, the theoretical and computational tools that are necessary to investigate and to solve optimal control problems with ODEs and DAEs. An emphasis is placed on the interplay between the optimal control problem, which typically is defi ned and analyzed in a Banach space setting, and discretizations thereof, which lead to finite dimensional optimization problems. The theoretical parts of the book require some knowledge of functional analysis, the numerically oriented parts require knowledge from linear algebra and numerical analysis. Practical examples are provided throughout the book for illustration purposes. The book addresses primarily master and PhD students as well as researchers in applied mathematics, but also engineers or scientists with a good background in mathematics. The book serves as a reference in research and teaching and hopefully helps to advance the state-of-the-art in optimal control.

Miniaturization of electronic devices and recent developments in wireless communication technology are leading to the creation of a range of personal information appliances, or biotic sensors, which can be attached to or implanted in human bodies. The wireless networking of such devices is known as the wireless body area network (BAN). BAN can share information effectively and securely, reduce functional redundancies, and allow new conveniences and services. Moreover, it provides new possibilities for high-quality service from hospitals, by linking various biotic sensors to establish a body-area network of personal health information. In Body Area Communications: Channel Modeling, Communication Systems, and EMC, Wang and Wang provide a systematic introduction to body area networks leading readers from an introductory level to in-depth and more advanced topics. . Provides a concise introduction to this emerging topic based on classroom-tested materials. Details the latest IEEE 802.15.6 standard activities. Moves from very basic physics, to useful mathematic models, and then to practical considerations. Covers not only EM physics and communications, but also biological applications. Topics approached include: link budget, bit error rate performance, RAKE and diversity reception; SAR analysis for human safety evaluation; and modeling of electromagnetic interference to implanted cardiac pacemakers . Provides Matlab and Fortran programs for download from the Companion WebsiteThis book is ideal for graduate students, engineers and researchers interested in body area networks, or those who would like to apply expertise in signal processing, application development and implementation, IC design, instrumentation, software framework, hardware/software optimization, distributed processing, and communications to BAN applications. Researchers and practicing engineers in biomedical engineering, who are interested in extending techniques to the wireless communications space, will also find this book to be a helpful reference.

This book presents the results of the successful Sensors Special Issue on Intelligent Vehicles that received submissions between March 2019 and May 2020. The Guest Editors of this Special Issue are Dr. David Fernández-Llorca, Dr. Ignacio Parra-Alonso, Dr. Iván García-Daza and Dr. Noelia Parra-Alonso, all from the Computer Engineering Department at the University of Alcalá (Madrid, Spain). A total of 32 manuscripts were finally accepted between 2019 and 2020, presented by top researchers from all over the world. The reader will find a well-representative set of current research and developments related to sensors and sensing for intelligent vehicles. The topics of the published manuscripts can be grouped into seven main categories: (1) assistance systems and automatic vehicle operation, (2) vehicle positioning and localization, (3) fault diagnosis and fail-x systems, (4) perception and scene understanding, (5) smart regenerative braking systems for electric vehicles, (6) driver behavior modeling and (7) intelligent sensing. We, the Guest Editors, hope that the readers will find this book to contain interesting papers for their research, papers that they will enjoy reading as much as we have enjoyed organizing this Special Issue
