The technologies for product assembly and manufacturing evolve
along with the advancement of enabling technologies such as
material science, robotics, machine intelligence as well as
information and communication. Furthermore, they may be subject to
fundamental changes due to the shift in key product features and/or
- gineering requirements. The enabling technologies emerging offer
new opportunities for moving up the level of automation,
optimization and reliability in product assembly and ma- facturing
beyond what have been possible. We see assembly and manufacturing
becoming more Intelligent with the perception-driven robotic
autonomy, more flexible with the human-robot coupled collaboration
in work cells, and more in- grated in scale and complexity under
the distributed and networked frameworks. On the other hand, the
shift in key product features and engineering requirements dictates
the new technologies and tools for assembly and manufacturing to be
- veloped. This may be exemplified by a high complexity of
micro/nano system products integrated and packaged in 3D with
various heterogeneous parts, com- nents, and interconnections,
including electrical, optical, mechanical as well as fluidic means.

Intelligent autonomous systems are emerged as a key enabler for the
creation of a new paradigm of services to humankind, as seen by the
recent advancement of autonomous cars licensed for driving in our
streets, of unmanned aerial and underwater vehicles carrying out
hazardous tasks on-site, and of space robots engaged in scientific
as well as operational missions, to list only a few. This book aims
at serving the researchers and practitioners in related fields with
a timely dissemination of the recent progress on intelligent
autonomous systems, based on a collection of papers presented at
the 12th International Conference on Intelligent Autonomous
Systems, held in Jeju, Korea, June 26-29, 2012. With the theme of
"Intelligence and Autonomy for the Service to Humankind, the
conference has covered such diverse areas as autonomous ground,
aerial, and underwater vehicles, intelligent transportation
systems, personal/domestic service robots, professional service
robots for surgery/rehabilitation, rescue/security and space
applications, and intelligent autonomous systems for manufacturing
and healthcare. This volume 1 includes contributions devoted to
Autonomous Ground Vehicles and Mobile Manipulators, as well as
Unmanned Aerial and Underwater Vehicles and Bio-inspired Robotics.

Some twenty years have elapsed since the first attempts at planning
were made by researchers in artificial intelligence. These early
programs concentrated on the development of plans for the solution
of puzzles or toy problems, like the rearrangement of stacks of
blocks. These early programs provided the foundation for the work
described in this book, the automatic generation of plans for
industrial assembly. As one reads about the complex and
sophisticated planners in the current gen eration, it is important
to keep in mind that they are addressing real-world problems.
Although these systems may become the "toy" systems of tomor row,
they are providing a solid foundation for future, more general and
more advanced planning tools. As demonstrated by the papers in this
book, the field of computer-aided mechanical assembly planning is
maturing. It now may include: * geometric descriptions of parts
extracted from or compatible with CAD programs; * constraints
related to part interference and the use of tools; * fixtures and
jigs required for the assembly; * the nature of connectors, matings
and other relations between parts; * number of turnovers required
during the assembly; * handling and gripping requirements for
various parts; * automatic identification of subassemblies. This is
not an exhaustive list, but it serves to illustrate the complexity
of some of the issues which are discussed in this book. Such issues
must be considered in the design of the modern planners, as they
produce desirable assembly sequences and precedence relations for
assembly.

Over past few years, technologies have experienced boundaries
getting blurred and concept of convergence to gain prominence.
Harnessing from this, two main tracks for information processing
management and communication are held, covering both research and
application works of information management, intelligent
information processing, interaction management, networking/
telecommunications, and social interaction. This book creates
unique opportunity for research convergence among truly diverse
technology domains of computer science. Leveraging from this
diversity of topics, researchers get to generate novel research
ideas by seeking application of their research in a different
technology domain. This volume represents the collection of papers
presented at the 13th International Conference on Ubiquitous
Information Management and Communication (IMCOM 2019), held on 4-6
January 2019 in Phuket, Thailand. Out of 228 papers submitted from
all around the world 88 papers were accepted for presentations. The
88 contributions to this volume are organized into 5 chapters:
Chapter 1. Network Evolution, Chapter 2. Intelligent and Secure
Network, Chapter 3. Image and Video Processing, Chapter 4.
Information Technology and Society, and Chapter 5. Data Mining and
Learning. Our editors wish readers to find this volume informative
and enjoyable.
