In recent years, robots have been built based on cognitive architecture which has been developed to model human cognitive ability. The cognitive architecture can be a basis for intelligence technology to generate robot intelligence. In this edited book the robot intelligence is classified into six categories: cognitive intelligence, social intelligence, behavioral intelligence, ambient intelligence, collective intelligence and genetic intelligence. This classification categorizes the intelligence of robots based on the different aspects of awareness and the ability to act deliberately as a result of such awareness. This book aims at serving researchers and practitioners with a timely dissemination of the recent progress on robot intelligence technology and its applications, based on a collection of papers presented at the 1st International Conference on Robot Intelligence Technology and Applications (RiTA), held in Gwangju, Korea, December 16-18, 2012. For a better readability, this edition has the total 101 papers grouped into 3 chapters: Chapter I: Cognitive Intelligence, Social Intelligence and Behavioral Intelligence, Chapter II: Ambient Intelligence, Collective Intelligence and Genetic Intelligence, Chapter III: Intelligent Robot Technologies and Applications.

A semi-automatic guidance control system for landing aircraft is already in use today, in both military and civilian air traffic control. The following designations are in use: Flight Reference System, Director System, Flight System, Command Guidance Installation, and Flight Command Installation. A description of the interconnections and relationships of the semi- and fully-automatic control systems includes a diagram showing the sequence of control instruments. These include the navigation and computer-controlled positioning instruments and the display instrumentation for the pilot to follow in the semi-automatic landing system, or the alternate mechanized instrument landing system for fully automatic landing. Instrumentation and guidance methods in the semi-automatic system are described, utilizing essentially the artificial horizon display instrumentation with radio-beam locating techniques for the correct positioning of the aircraft by the pilot in approaching the landing field. The fully automatic landing system involves similar ground-based navigational and aircraft-positioning equipment augmented by an automatic pilot mechanism aboard the aircraft. The following aspects are discussed: (1) two complex communication zones, involving the automatic landing approach zone and landing zone, (2) the problem of adapting automatic pilots now in use to the requirements of automatic landings.
