Synopsis

Robot Systems for Rail Transit Applications presents the latest advances in robotics and artificial intelligence for railway systems, giving foundational principles and running through special problems in robot systems for rail transit. State-of-the art research in robotics and railway systems is presented alongside a series of real-world examples. Eight chapters give definitions and characteristics of rail transit robot systems, describe assembly and collaborative robots in manufacturing, introduce automated guided vehicles and autonomous rail rapid transit, demonstrate inspection robots, cover trench robots, and explain unmanned aerial vehicles. This book offers an integrated and highly-practical way to approach robotics and artificial intelligence in rail-transit.

• Introduces robot and artificial intelligence (AI) systems for rail transit applications
• Presents research alongside step-by-step coverage of real-world cases
• Gives the theoretical foundations underlying practical application
• Offers solutions for high-speed railways from the latest work in robotics
• Shows how robotics and AI systems afford new and efficient methods in rail transit
