Collectively working robot teams can solve a problem more efficiently than a single robot, while also providing robustness and flexibility to the group. Swarm robotics model is a key component of a cooperative algorithm that controls the behaviors and interactions of all individuals. The robots in the swarm should have some basic functions, such as sensing, communicating, and monitoring, and satisfy the following properties:

n/a --- self-organization --- signal source localization --- multi-robot system --- sensor deployment --- parallel technique --- shape normalization --- genetic algorithm --- multiple robots --- optimization --- improved potential field --- optimal configuration --- autonomous docking --- asymmetrical interaction --- comparison --- behaviors --- patterns --- self-assembly robots --- congestion control --- surface-water environment --- target recognition --- coordinate motion --- UAV swarms --- formation reconfiguration --- swarm robotics --- swarm intelligence --- artificial bee colony algorithm --- obstacle avoidance --- fish swarm optimization --- search algorithm --- robotics --- time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) --- formation --- mobile robots --- formation control --- meta-heuristic --- event-triggered communication --- search --- virtual structure --- 3D model identification --- surveillance --- event-driven coverage --- scale-invariant feature transform --- system stability --- Swarm intelligence algorithm --- bionic intelligent algorithm --- unmanned aerial vehicle --- underwater environment --- artificial flora (AF) algorithm --- swarm behavior --- weighted implicit shape representation --- Cramer–Rao low bound (CRLB) --- environmental perception --- particle swarm optimization --- modular robots --- cooperative target hunting --- virtual linkage --- multi-AUV --- consensus control --- panoramic view --- nonlinear disturbance observer --- sliding mode controller --- path optimization --- Swarm Chemistry --- multi-agents --- Cramer-Rao low bound (CRLB)

The book is an amazing collection of technical papers dealing with hybrid rockets. Once perceived as a niche technology, for about a decade, hybrid rockets have enjoyed renewed interest from both the propulsion technical community and industry. Hybrid motors can be used in practically all applications where a rocket is employed, but there are certain cases where they present a superior fit, such as sounding rockets, tactical missile systems, launch boosters and the emerging field of commercial space transportation. The novel space tourism business, indeed, will benefit from their safety and lower recurrent development costs. The subjects addressed in the book include the cutting edge technology employed to push forward this relatively new propulsion concept, spanning systems to improve fuel regression rate, control of the mixture ratio to optimize performance, computational fluid dynamics applied to the simulation of the internal ballistics, and some other novel system applications.
