MARIAM: Mastering Automation and Robotics for Industrial Agricultural Management

From ON/OFF Switching to Model Predictive and AI-Driven Control

Edited by Redmond R. Shamshiri (author)

An applied control engineering textbook progressing through 60 chapters from switching and PID control to state estimation, robustness, nonlinear control, optimization and learning-based methods. A ventilated thermal chamber provides a consistent teaching model, while physical laboratory sections introduce heated plates, encoder gearmotors and industrial ESP32 interfaces. Worked examples, investigations and implementation guidance connect theory to measurements, explicitly distinguishing simulated results from evidence obtained on real apparatus. Ebook 02 · English · 2026 · 348 pages including cover · PDF. Author: Redmond R. Shamshiri. Revised hardware laboratory edition, September 2026.

Embedded Linux

Linux Foundations, Hardware Interfacing, Distributed Systems, IoT, and Edge Intelligence

Edited by Redmond R. Shamshiri (author)

A lecture-note and self-study handbook for developing complete embedded and cyber-physical systems. Thirteen chapters connect Linux foundations and development tools with hardware interfacing, distributed communication, IoT and edge intelligence. Guided laboratories, implementation patterns, troubleshooting discussions and integrated project examples support practical learning. The expanded edition also includes hardware photographs, connection diagrams, integration guides and a complete reproduction of the 38-laboratory Raspberry Pi robotics handbook. Ebook 03 · English · 2026 · 569 pages including cover · PDF. Author: Redmond R. Shamshiri. Fall 2026; hardware and laboratory expansion, September 2026.

Raspberry Pi Robotics Laboratory

From Linux essentials to integrated robotic and IoT systems

Edited by Redmond R. Shamshiri (author)

A practical laboratory book containing 38 activities and three integrated projects. Readers progress from Raspberry Pi setup, Linux tools and reliable data logging to sensor interfaces, motor control, GNSS, MQTT, LoRaWAN, CAN and machine vision. Step-by-step instructions and code support independent experimentation. The projects combine these skills in an obstacle-stopping rover, a plant inspection station and a field telemetry hub, with attention to troubleshooting, data quality and controlled operation. Ebook 04 · English · 2026 · 182 pages including cover · PDF. Author: Redmond R. Shamshiri. September 2026 edition.

ROS 2 for Agricultural Robotics

From First Sensor to Autonomous Fields — 60 Practical Projects

Edited by Redmond R. Shamshiri (author)

A project-based introduction to agricultural robotics built around Ubuntu 24.04 and ROS 2 Jazzy. Sixty projects progress from sensor and actuator interfaces to coordinate frames, logging, mapping, navigation, GNSS, crop-row perception and vehicle control. Later projects address distributed robots, manipulation, aerial systems and integrated missions. Practical instructions, hardware photographs and connection drawings emphasize reproducible experiments, interface diagnosis and the distinction between synthetic, simulated, bench and field evidence. Ebook 05 · English · 2026 · 217 pages including cover · PDF. Author: Redmond R. Shamshiri. First teaching edition, September 2026.

Precision Farming

Principles, Systems and Field Applications

Edited by Redmond R. Shamshiri (author)

An applied textbook connecting agricultural decisions with sensing, positioning, digital infrastructure and automated field operations. Twenty chapters develop measurement uncertainty, soil and crop sensing, UAV and satellite observations, GNSS, machinery performance, CAN and ISOBUS, sensor fusion, IoT, spatial analysis and decision support. Worked examples and investigations guide readers from observations to prescriptions and field evaluation, emphasizing units, explicit assumptions, reproducible calculations and evidence of useful agricultural outcomes.

Applied Automation in Agriculture

Sensor and Controller Interfacing

Edited by Redmond R. Shamshiri (author)

A practical teaching handbook covering 50 topics in agricultural sensor and controller interfacing. Each topic connects an electrical principle to a farm-related application, a labelled connection diagram, a worked calculation and a bench check. Topics include resistor networks, logic levels, analogue measurements, power regulation, circuit protection, I²C, SPI, UART, RS-485 and industrial signals. Examples emphasize correct wiring, measurable behaviour and systematic fault diagnosis. Ebook 01 · English · 2025 · 59 pages including cover · PDF. Author: Redmond R. Shamshiri.
