title = "Optical fiber sensors and systems",
abstract = "The subject of this text and the lecture is presentation of the fiber optic sensors and systems developed for robotics and different applications that exploit unique characteristics of optical fibers. Chapter 2 introduces briefly basics of fiber optics, constituting a background for the further discussion. Chapter 3 presents an overview of the applications of fiber optics in industry and outlines the specific requirements to fiber optic systems for robotics. Chapter 4, which is the most broad in the presentation, provides an overview of the optical fiber sensors for robotics, presenting some basic phenomena, sensor models, and their applications. Fiber optic lighting and imaging systems for machine vision are the subject of Chapter 5. The last chapter presents general conclusions and discussion of the further prospects for the applications of fiber optics in robotic systems taking into account the current trends in both photonics and robotics.",
