The stories collected herein are not for the faint-hearted. Nineteen dark tales from the imagination of Andy Evans: "[some] are short, sharp jabs to the psyche, others are longer spirals of nightmarish descent". - WENDY KING Each story is unsettling. Nothing here is quite as it would seem. Some being so terrifying as to frequent your dreams and leave you floundering, longing for the relative sanctuary of the daylight hours. In 'Gravity' a man walks along the highway, compelled towards a specific place, haunted by his past and a growing sense of déjà-vu. 'Evolution of the Werewolf' flips the werewolf myth upon it's head. 'Hiija' is about two rival horror writers and the deadly woman who inspires them both. While 'We Who Dwell Behind The Veil' explores why you should never be mean to your little sister. And there are others waiting in the darkness, too.

Mobile robots are automatic machines capable of moving without human intervention and performing certain actions. Mobile robotics is an emerging discipline of robotics and information technology that deals with the development of mobile robots. It is solution-oriented discipline, which involves the application of concepts from information technology, engineering science, artificial intelligence and cognitive sciences. Designing a mobile robot requires designing the different mechanical parts and developing a control system for the robot. Mobile robots are used in medical facilities to move patients, assist with surgical procedures, gather and transport supplies, and disinfect rooms. In agriculture, farmers use mobile robots for maintaining, measuring and harvesting fresh produce. This book traces the progress of the field of mobile robotics and highlights some of its key design concepts, methods and applications. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject.

A mobile robot is an automatic machine that is capable of moving around in a physical environment. Mobile robotics is a subfield of robotics and information engineering concerned with the research and development of mobile robots. This field integrates the technological advancements in machine learning with physical environment, which enables the mobile robots to navigate their surroundings. Mobile robots can be classified into autonomous mobile robots and non-autonomous mobile robots. Autonomous robots do not require any external guidance for locomotion, while non-autonomous mobile robots move with the assistance of a guidance system. Mobile robots have applications in hospitals, industries and military. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of mobile robotics. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study. The book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
