The Cambridge handbooks in construction robotics Thomas Bock (Technische Universität München) Thomas Linner (Technische Universität München) ; volume 5: Ambient integrated robotics : automation and robotic technologies for maintenance assistance and service The new research field of Ambient Active Assisted Living (AAL) is quickly evolving. Ambient Integrated Robotics provides an easy to understand medical perspective to architects designers and engineers bridging the different disciplines and showing how they fuse together to create the future of AAL technology. Using robotics as an example the book illustrates how embedding its subsystems results in unique ambient technology that can be used to help people particularly in adapting to the needs of the unwell and elderly populations. You will be provided with the knowledge and tools to contribute to the future of AAL. The Cambridge Handbooks on Construction Robotics series gives professionals researchers lecturers and students basic conceptual and technical skills and strategies to manage research or teach the implementation of advanced automation and robot technology based processes and technologies in construction. Books discuss progress in robot systems theory and demonstrates their integration using real applications and projections
