Overview

  • Provides a clear classification of human–robot interaction (HRI) system maintenance: tangible asset (i.e., hardware), intangible asset (i.e., cyberware), and hybrid asset (i.e., human)
  • Includes a presentation of affective factors: affective engineering and affective computing
  • Covers intelligent search algorithms: both conventional and innovative soft computing techniques
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Part of the book series: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control (SSDC, volume 129)

About this book

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.
