      Swarm Robotics Solutions for National Security and Marine Forensics explores the cutting-edge applications of swarm robotics in safeguarding national security and advancing marine forensics. This book delves into the innovative use of collaborative robotic systems inspired by nature, where multiple autonomous agents work seamlessly together to address complex challenges. From enhancing surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities for national defence to revolutionizing marine forensic investigations, this comprehensive guide highlights the transformative impact of swarm robotics on critical domains.This is a must-read for researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts in robotics, artificial intelligence, and security as it illuminates the future possibilities of swarm robotics in shaping a safer and more secure world.

    • Marine Rudders, Hydrofoils and Control Surfaces

      Principles, Data, Design and Applications
      • 2nd Edition

      The course keeping and manoeuvring requirements for a ship are governed by international maritime law. In assessing and predicting the course keeping and manoeuvring capabilities of the ship, knowledge is required of the rudder forces necessary to keep a course or facilitate a manoeuvre. The second edition of Marine Rudders, Hydrofoils and Control Surfaces includes up-to-date data and rudder design techniques that enable the rudder forces to be estimated, together with any interactions due to the hull and propeller. The new edition describes the design and application of hydrofoils including shape adaptive design, and their applications including hydrofoil craft, yachts, and kite surfing hydrofoils. The professional will also face the need to design control surfaces for motion control, such as roll and pitch, for surface vessels and submersibles, and the book contains the necessary techniques and data to carry out these tasks.This book is for practicing naval architects and marine engineers, small craft designers, yacht designers, hydrodynamicists, undergraduate and postgraduate students of naval architecture, maritime engineering and ship science, and the broader engineering community involved in the development of marine craft that rely on the generation of ‘lift’ such as control engineers and aerodynamicists.

      Marine Rudders and Control Surfaces guides naval architects from the first principles of the physics of control surface operation, to the use of experimental and empirical data and applied computational fluid dynamic modelling of rudders and control surfaces.The empirical and theoretical methods applied to control surface design are described in depth and their use explained through application to particular cases. The design procedures are complemented with a number of worked practical examples of rudder and control surface design.
