This monograph is devoted to the theory and development of
autonomous navigation of mobile robots using computer vision based
sensing mechanism. The conventional robot navigation systems,
utilizing traditional sensors like ultrasonic, IR, GPS, laser
sensors etc., suffer several drawbacks related to either the
physical limitations of the sensor or incur high cost. Vision
sensing has emerged as a popular alternative where cameras can be
used to reduce the overall cost, maintaining high degree of
intelligence, flexibility and robustness.
This book includes a detailed description of several new
approaches for real life vision based autonomous navigation
algorithms and SLAM. It presents the concept of how subgoal based
goal-driven navigation can be carried out using vision sensing. The
development concept of vision based robots for path/line tracking
using fuzzy logic is presented, as well as how a low-cost robot can
be indigenously developed in the laboratory with microcontroller
based sensor systems. The book describes successful implementation
of integration of low-cost, external peripherals, with
off-the-shelf procured robots. An important highlight of the book
is that it presents a detailed, step-by-step sample demonstration
of how vision-based navigation modules can be actually implemented
in real life, under 32-bit Windows environment. The book also
discusses the concept of implementing vision based SLAM employing a
two camera based system.

Explore different aspects of building modular microservices such as
development, testing, maintenance, and deployment using the
Micronaut framework Key Features Learn how to build scalable, fast,
and resilient microservices with this concise guide Explore the
many advantages of using reflection-free, compile-time dependency
injections and aspect-oriented programming Build cloud-native
applications easily with the Micronaut framework Book
DescriptionThe open source Micronaut (R) framework is a JVM-based
toolkit designed to create microservices quickly and easily. This
book will help full-stack and Java developers build modular,
high-performing, and reactive microservice-based apps using the
Micronaut framework. You'll start by building microservices and
learning about the core components, such as ahead-of-time
compilation, reflection-less dependency injection, and reactive
baked-in HTTP clients and servers. Next, you will work on a
real-time microservice application and learn how to integrate
Micronaut projects with different kinds of relational and
non-relational databases. You'll also learn how to employ different
security mechanisms to safeguard your microservices and integrate
microservices using event-driven architecture in the Apache Kafka
ecosystem. As you advance, you'll get to grips with automated
testing and popular testing tools. The book will help you
understand how you can easily handle microservice concerns in
Micronaut projects, such as service discovery, API documentation,
distributed configuration management, fallbacks, and circuit
breakers. Finally, you'll explore the deployment and maintenance
aspects of microservices and get up to speed with the Internet of
Things (IoT) using the Framework. By the end of this book, you'll
be able to build, test, deploy, and maintain your own microservice
apps using the framework. What you will learn Understand why the
Micronaut framework is best suited for building microservices Build
web endpoints and services in the Micronaut framework Safeguard
microservices using Session, JWT, and OAuth in Micronaut projects
Get to grips with event-driven architecture in Micronaut
applications Discover how to automate testing at various levels
using built-in tools and testing frameworks Deploy your
microservices to containers and cloud platforms Become well-versed
with distributed logging, tracing, and monitoring in Micronaut
projects Get hands-on with the IoT using Alexa and the Micronaut
framework Who this book is forThis book is for developers who have
been building microservices on traditional frameworks such as
Spring Boot and are looking for a faster alternative.
Intermediate-level knowledge of Java programming and implementing
web services development in Java is required.
