This book provides a comprehensive coverage on robot fish including
design, modeling and optimization, control, autonomous control and
applications. It gathers contributions by the leading researchers
in the area. Readers will find the book very useful for designing
and building robot fish, not only in theory but also in practice.
Moreover, the book discusses various important issues for future
research and development, including design methodology, control
methodology, and autonomous control strategy. This book is intended
for researchers and graduate students in the fields of robotics,
ocean engineering and related areas.
Intense uplift of the Tibetan Plateau in Late Cenozoic Era is one
of the most important events in geological history of the Earth.
The plateau offers an ideal region for studying of lithospheric
formation and evolution, probing into the mechanism of crustal
movement, and understanding of changes in environments and
geo-ecosystems in Asia. Intense uplift ofthe plateau resulted in
drastic changes of natural environment and apparent regional
differentiation on the plateau proper and neighboring regions. The
plateau therefore becomes a sensitive area of climate change in
Asian monsoon region, which is closely related to the global
change. As a special physical unit, its ecosystems occupy a
prominent position in the world. Due to its extremely high
elevation and great extent, natural types and characteristics of
physical landscapes on the plateau are quite different from those
in lowlands at comparable latitudes, and environments are also
different from those in high latitudinal zones. Consequently, the
Tibetan Plateau has been classified as one of three giant physical
regions in China and considered as a unique unit on Earth.
Scientific surveys and expeditions to the Tibetan Plateau on large
scale began from 1950's. Amongst them, a number of comprehensive
scientific expeditions to the Xizang (Tibet) Autonomous Region,
Hengduan Mts. areas, Karakorum and Kunlun Mts. regions, as well as
the Hoh Xii Mts. areas, have been successively carried out by the
Integrated Scientific Expedition to Tibetan Plateau, sponsored by
Chinese Academy of Sciences since 1973.
