The Proceedings of ICRAE deals with innovative ideas, different categories of green technologies and sustainable development including renewable energy sources, power systems, mathematical ecology, industrial technologies, and construction and material sciences. The chapters are written by eminent authors to propose improvement and expansion of processes and applications connected to sustainable development. Rapid urbanisation is proving to have direct consequences on the environment. Environmental awareness and protection is one of the challenging issues of new millennia. Industrialization and population explosion has opened new frontiers in the conservation of environmental protection. Any sustainable development has multifaceted approach, encompassing environmental, technological, social and economic developmental dimensions. The selected papers in this book have highlighted issues related to Green Technology and sustainable development and bridge the gap between technological advancement and its impact on the environment.

This book offers a synthesis of research, curriculum examples, pedagogy models, and classroom recommendations for the effective use of robotics in STEM teaching and learning. Authors Chauhan and Kapila demonstrate how the use of educational robotics can catalyze and enhance student learning and understanding within the STEM disciplines. The book explores the implementation of design-based research (DBR); technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK); and the 5E instructional model; among others. Chapters draw on a variety of pedagogical scaffolds to help teachers deploy educational robotics for classroom use, including research-driven case studies, strategies, and standards-aligned lesson plans from real-life settings. This book will benefit STEM teachers, STEM teacher educators, and STEM education researchers.

Model Free Adaptive Control: Theory and Applications summarizes theory and applications of model-free adaptive control (MFAC). MFAC is a novel adaptive control method for the unknown discrete-time nonlinear systems with time-varying parameters and time-varying structure, and the design and analysis of MFAC merely depend on the measured input and output data of the controlled plant, which makes it more applicable for many practical plants. This book covers new concepts, including pseudo partial derivative, pseudo gradient, pseudo Jacobian matrix, and generalized Lipschitz conditions, etc.; dynamic linearization approaches for nonlinear systems, such as compact-form dynamic linearization, partial-form dynamic linearization, and full-form dynamic linearization; a series of control system design methods, including MFAC prototype, model-free adaptive predictive control, model-free adaptive iterative learning control, and the corresponding stability analysis and typical applications in practice. In addition, some other important issues related to MFAC are also discussed. They are the MFAC for complex connected systems, the modularized controller designs between MFAC and other control methods, the robustness of MFAC, and the symmetric similarity for adaptive control system design. The book is written for researchers who are interested in control theory and control engineering, senior undergraduates and graduated students in engineering and applied sciences, as well as professional engineers in process control.
