Machine Learning for Complex and Unmanned Systems

This book highlights applications that include machine learning methods to enhance new developments in complex and unmanned systems. The contents are organized from the applications requiring few methods to the ones combining different methods and discussing their development and hardware/software implementation. The book includes two parts: the first one collects machine learning applications in complex systems, mainly discussing developments highlighting their modeling and simulation, and hardware implementation. The second part collects applications of machine learning in unmanned systems including optimization and case studies in submarines, drones, and robots. The chapters discuss miscellaneous applications required by both complex and unmanned systems, in the areas of artificial intelligence, cryptography, embedded hardware, electronics, the Internet of Things, and healthcare. Each chapter provides guidelines and details of different methods that can be reproduced in hardware/software and discusses future research.
