Biologically Inspired Series-Parallel Hybrid Robots: Design, Analysis and Control provides an extensive review of the state-of-the-art in series-parallel hybrid robots, covering all aspects of their mechatronics system design. The book highlights the modular and distributed aspects in their mechanical, electronics, and software design, presenting case studies on various famous series-parallel hybrid robots which will inspire new robot developers. The book also introduces various modern methods for modeling the kinematics and dynamics of complex robots. These methods are also introduced in the form of algorithms or pseudo-code which can be easily programmed with modern day programming languages.

Andreas Muller-Pohle is an artist and publisher who has challenged the limits of photographic, video, and computer images since 1977. Interfaces surveys his entire career, including his early, experimental work from the 70s and 80s and his latest video and computer pieces, Face Codes and Sojourner II. Exquisitely presented and printed, this book is edited and introduced by one of Europe's most distinguished curators, Hubertus von Amelunxen. Anreas Muler-Pohle has also served as the publisher of European Photography since 1980 and is the editor of numerous publications including the major books by media philosopher Vilem Flusser. As von Amelunxen notes, "With its combination of analog and digital technology, video and interaction installations, Interfaces provides insight into photography as a tool for imaging ideas. For Muller-Pohle, the medium of photography is located on the threshold between human perception and the abolition of its limits by the apparatus".
