With the advances in the Internet, AI, and robot technologies, our daily lives and professional environments have increasingly incorporated a variety of digital media. My research and development efforts have been centered around a new, emerging type of medium: avatars. Avatars, which include both teleoperated robots and computer-generated (CG) agents, enable users to operate in physically distant locations or even virtual environments, such as the metaverse. Attracted by their convenience and the broad spectrum of possibilities, various organizations, including companies and hospitals, have explored utilizing robot avatars. However, despite the initial enthusiasm, the widespread adoption experienced only a modest surge and failed to firmly establish itself. The large-scale societal shift toward telework has clearly highlighted avatar technology’s potential to reshape how we work, communicate, and interact within a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

This book presents research developments and novel methodologies on data-rate-constrained control and state estimation for complex networked systems with different kinds of encoding-decoding mechanisms. It describes framework of state estimator and controller design, stability and performance analysis for data-rate constrained complex systems with various kinds of encoding-decoding schemes and so forth. Simulations given in this book are constructed by applying MATLAB software package. The objective of this book is to present the state-of-the-art research developments and novel methodologies on data-rate-constrained control and state estimation for complex networked systems with different kinds of encoding-decoding mechanisms. The contents of this book can be divided into two parts, where the first part (Chapters 2–5) addresses the data-constrained control/state estimation problems under uniform-quantization-based encoding-decoding scheme for complicated systems (e.g. neural networks, complex networks and multi-agent systems) and the second part (Chapters 6–9) introduces both the multiple description encoding mechanism and the event-based encoding protocol into the networked systems to cope with the data constraint issue.

This book presents the latest research roadmaps and achievements from the European ecosystem (industry, research, and academia) driving the development of future wireless, wired, optical and satcom applications utilising the mm-wave and sub-THz bands. It covers the entire value chain, including technologies, devices, characterisation, architectures, circuits, 3D heterogeneous integration and packaging. As the interconnectedness of our world continues to expand, the importance of global innovation in communication systems and technologies grows significantly. The increasing reliance on digital communication necessitates systems that can manage higher data traffic, provide faster and more reliable connectivity, and sustainably support a diverse range of applications. Achieving these goals requires a shift towards higher frequency bands (mm-wave and sub-THz) and the adoption of disruptive technologies. Heterogeneous integration of (Bi)CMOS, SOI, and III/V components such as GaN or InP, along with advanced packaging techniques, is essential to realise ubiquitous, ultra-high bandwidth, and low latency networks. Whether you are a professional in the field or simply interested in the future of communication technologies, this book offers invaluable insights into the technological breakthroughs shaping our digital future.
