Simultaneous Localization and Mapping: Exactly Sparse Information Filters Wang Zhan; Huang Shoudong; Dissanayake Gamini Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a process where an autonomous vehicle builds a map of an unknown environment while concurrently generating an estimate for its location. This book is concerned with computationally efficient solutions to the large scale SLAM problems using exactly sparse Extended Information Filters (EIF). The invaluable book also provides a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the properties of the information matrix in EIF-based algorithms for SLAM. Three exactly sparse information filters for SLAM are described in detail, together with two efficient and exact methods for recovering the state vector and the covariance matrix. Proposed algorithms are extensively evaluated both in simulation and through experiments.

Magnetic Bearings and Bearingless Drives Chiba Akira; Fukao Tadashi; Ichikawa Osamu; Oshima Masahide; Takemoto Masatugu; Dorrell David TIlls book is primarily about bearingless machines, where the magnetic levitation of the rotor is provided from within the main stator bore (in addition to torque production if motoring, or electrical power production if generating). The bearingless type of motor is still, to some extent, in the development stage and therefore still at an early point of evolution. The basic theory, design and control rules are being researched and investigated and there is still much work to be done. The authors have had many years of experience in the design and operation of bearingless machines and this book represents their combined experience as pioneers in this area. Therefore this book describes the leading edge of the technology as it stands today.
