Met de komst van 3D-CAD-systemen in de productontwikkeling is ook het vak van de technisch tekenaar veranderd. De technisch tekenaar maakt tegenwoordig behalve de 2D technische tekening ook steeds vaker in een vroeg stadium 3D-modellen (solid models). De technische tekening wordt nu immers van het 3D-model afgeleid en niet vanuit een blanco tekenvel of -bestand opgezet. Producttekenen en -documenteren – van 3D naar 2D behandelt het technisch tekenen vanuit dat perspectief. Aan de hand van p...

Het maken van een succesvol product is voor een belangrijk gedeelte afhankelijk van de productietechnieken die worden ingezet. Voor ontwerpers is een gedegen basiskennis van deze technieken daarom essentieel. Hoe beter je op de hoogte bent van de mogelijkheden van diverse productietechnieken, hoe creatiever het ontwerpproces kan zijn en hoe beter het eindresultaat. Een bedrijfseconomisch optimaal geproduceerd product versterkt bovendien de concurrentiepositie.

Moderne industriële productie g...

Location-based Services (LBSs) are mobile services for providing information that has been created, compiled, selected or filtered under consideration of the users' current locations or those of other persons or mobile devices. Typical examples are restaurant finders, buddy trackers, navigation services or applications in the areas of mobile marketing and mobile gaming. The attractiveness of LBSs is due to the fact that users are not required to enter location information manually but are aut...

Robotic vision, the combination of robotics and computer vision, involves the application of computer algorithms to data acquired from sensors. The research community has developed a large body of such algorithms but for a newcomer to the field this can be quite daunting. For over 20 years the author has maintained two open-source MATLAB (R) Toolboxes, one for robotics and one for vision.

They provide implementations of many important algorithms and allow users to work with real problems, not...

Atmel's AVR microcontrollers are the chips that power Arduino, and are the go-to chip for many hobbyist and hardware hacking projects. In this book you'll set aside the layers of abstraction provided by the Arduino environment and learn how to program AVR microcontrollers directly.
