Book Description

The electric vehicle market has been gradually gaining prominence in the world due to the rise in pollution levels caused by traditional IC engine-based vehicles. The advantages of electric vehicles are multi-pronged in terms of cost, energy efficiency, and environmental impact. The running and maintenance cost are considerably less than traditional models. The harmful exhaust emissions are reduced, besides the greenhouse gas emissions, when the electric vehicle is supplied from a renewable energy source. However, apart from some Western nations, many developing and underdeveloped countries have yet to take up this initiative. This lack of enthusiasm has been primarily attributed to the capital investment required for charging infrastructure and the slow transition of energy generation from the fossil fuel to the renewable energy format. Currently, there are very few charging stations, and the construction of the same needs to be ramped up to supplement the growth of electric vehicles. Grid integration issues also crop up when the electric vehicle is used to either do supply addition to or draw power from the grid. These problems need to be fixed at all the levels to enhance the future of energy efficient transportation. Electric Vehicles and the Future of Energy Efficient Transportation explores the growth and adoption of electric vehicles for the purpose of sustainable transportation and presents a critical analysis in terms of the economics, technology, and environmental perspectives of electric vehicles. The chapters cover the benefits and limitations of electric vehicles, techno-economic feasibility of the technologies being developed, and the impact this has on society. Specific points of discussion include electric vehicle architecture, wireless power transfer, battery management, and renewable resources. This book is of interest for individuals in the automotive sector and allied industries, policymakers, practitioners, engineers, technicians, researchers, academicians, and students looking for updated information on the technology, economics, policy, and environmental aspects of electric vehicles.

Book Description

The chasm between the physical capabilities of Intelligent Robotics and Autonomous Systems (IRAS) and their cognitive potential presents a formidable challenge. While these machines exhibit astonishing strength, precision, and speed, their intelligence and adaptability lag far behind. This inherent limitation obstructs the realization of autonomous systems that could reshape industries, from self-driving vehicles to industrial automation. The solution to this dilemma is unveiled within the pages of Modeling, Simulation, and Control of AI Robotics and Autonomous Systems. Find within the pages of this book answers for the cognitive deficit within IRAS. While these systems boast remarkable physical capabilities, their potential for intelligent decision-making and adaptation remains stunted, thereby bringing innovation to a halt. Solving this issue would mean the re-acceleration of multiple industries that could utilize automation to prevent humans from needing to do work that is dangerous, and could revolutionize transportation, and more.
