    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The work presented in this dissertation investigates the problem for resource management of autonomous robots. Acting under the constraint of limited resources is a necessity for every robot which should perform tasks independent of human control. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Decentralised energy systems based on biomass : a life cycle perspective on climate impact and energy balance

    Författare :Marie Kimming; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources is recognised as an important measure to mitigate climate change. Residual biomass from agriculture and forestry and short-rotation coppice grown on unused land can be converted to heat, power and fuel without directly compromising production of edible crops.
