Distributed autonomous robotic systems (DARS) are systems composed of multiple autonomous units such as modules, cells, processors, agents, and robots. Combination or cooperative operation of multiple autonomous units is expected to lead to desirable features such as flexibility, fault tolerance, and efficiency. The DARS is the leading established conference on distributed autonomous systems. All papers have the common goal to contribute solutions to the very demanding task of designing distributed systems to realize robust and intelligent robotic systems.

This three volume set LNAI 9244, 9245, and 9246 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Intelligent Robotics and Applications, ICIRA 2015, held in Portsmouth, UK, in August 2015. The 46 papers included in the third volume are organized in topical sections on mobile robots and intelligent autonomous systems; intelligent system and cybernetics; robot mechanism and design; robotic vision; recognition and reconstruction; and active control in tunneling boring machine.

Computer vision is probably the most exciting branch of image processing, and the number of applications in robotics, automation technology and quality control is constantly increasing. Unfortunately entering this research area is, as yet, not simple. Those who are interested must first go through a lot of books, publications and software libraries. With this book, however, the first step is easy. The theoretically founded content is understandable and is supplemented by many practical examples. Source code is provided with the specially developed platform-independent open source library IVT in the programming language C/C++. The use of the IVT is not necessary, but it does make for a much easier entry and allows first developments to be quickly produced.

Eingebettete Systeme steuern unbemerkt die Waschmaschine oder als Digitaler Sound Prozessor das Autoradio. Der Autor stellt leistungsfähige Linux-Derivate vor, die den Komfort der Schnittstellentreiber, des Multi-Threadings und eines Dateisystems bieten. Alle Beispiele sind vollständig durchimplementiert und online frei verfügbar. Das Buch eignet sich als Begleitbuch für Administratoren und Linux-Anwender, hilft aber auch Entwicklern in der Industrie, bei diesem Trend den Anschluss nicht zu verlieren.
