Synergetic Agents : From Multi-Robot Systems to Molecular Robotics.

A first in the topic of molecular robotics based on a quantum field theoretic approach. This visionary book will inspire the development of molecular machines for medicinal or environmental applications. From the founder of synergetic theory (Haken) and the authors of the Haken-Levi principle, this...
