Academic Press Tactile Internet: with Human-in-the-Loop

Product Description Tactile Internet: with Human-in-the-Loop describes the change from the current Internet, which focuses on the democratization of information independent of location of time, to the Tactile Internet, which democratizes skills to promote equity that is independent of age, gender, socio-cultural background or physical limitations. The book introduces promotes the concept of the tactile Tactile Internet for remote closed-loop human-machine interaction and describes the main challenges and key technologies. Current standardization activities in the field for IEEE and IETF are described, making this text book an ideal resource for researchers, graduate students, and industry R&D engineers in communications engineering, electronic engineering computing, and computer engineering.
