This book bridges the gap between robotic theory and practical applications in the modelling, planning and control of modern industrial robots.Beginning with a brief history of industrial robots, the foundations of robotic theory such as spatial transformations, kinematics and dynamics are introduced, leading to the modelling of the robotic systems. Based on the fundations, robotic motion generation, planning, and control are discussed in the ensuing chapters. Each chapter includes examples and worked solutions, and MATLAB code for graphical and numerical simulations to assist in understanding key theorems, concepts, and algorithms.This book is a valuable resource for university students at all levels, as well as professionals who are interested in robotics and have a limited background in engineering or mathematics.

This book provides insight into domino effects in industrial chemical sites and process industries. It is about the integration of safety and security resources to prevent and mitigate domino effects in the process industries. It explains how chemical industrial areas, comprised of various hazardous installations, are susceptible to a chain of undesired events, or domino effects, triggered by accidental events or intentional attacks and then presents solutions to prevent them.Firstly, the book provides a dynamic graph approach to model the domino effects induced by accidental fire or intentional fire, considering the spatial-temporal evolution of fires. Then, a dynamic risk assessment method based on a discrete dynamic event tree is proposed to assess the likelihood of VCEs and the vulnerability of installations, addressing the time dependencies in vapor cloud dispersion and the uncertainty of delayed ignitions. A dynamic methodology based on dynamic graphs and Monte Carlo is provided to assess the vulnerability of individuals and installations exposed to multi-hazards, such as fire, explosion and toxic release during escalation events. Based on these domino effect models, an economic approach is developed to integrate safe and security resources, obtaining the most costΓÇôbenefit protection strategy for preventing domino effects. Finally, a resilience-based approach is provided to find out the most cost-resilient way to protect chemical industrial areas, addressing possible domino effects.This integrated approach will be of interest to researchers, industrial engineers, chemical engineers and safety managers and will help professionals to new solutions in the area of safety and security.

This book uncovers the mysterious social and political structures of China's "Third Front," the large state-sponsored development of inland China during the late Maoist period.
