To perform many complex tasks, modern robots often require robust and stable force control. Linear, fixedgain controllers can only provide adequate performance when they are tuned to specific task requirements, but if the environmental stiffness at the robot/task interface is unknown or varies significantly, performance is degraded. This paper describes the design of a robotic force controller ...

In order to assess the future impact of environmental change, ecologists must be able to provide accurate predictions under new environmental conditions. The difficulty with this is that there is often no way of knowing whether the empirical relationships upon which model predictions are based will hold under the new conditions. As a consequence, such predictions are of uncertain accuracy. Beha...

In the recent decades due to uncontrolled waste of natural resources and climate change, terms Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), sustainability environmental accounting have permeated everyday life, hugely affecting way in which business world now operates. This essentially means that any company interested its viability should strictly devise strategic planning considering three main pill...
