Safe Robot Navigation Among Moving and Steady Obstacles

Safe Robot Navigation Among Moving and Steady Obstacles

Andrey V. Savkin; Alexey S. Matveev; Michael Hoy; Chao Wang

Butterworth-Heinemann Inc
2015
nidottu
Safe Robot Navigation Among Moving and Steady Obstacles is the first book to focus on reactive navigation algorithms in unknown dynamic environments with moving and steady obstacles. The first three chapters provide introduction and background on sliding mode control theory, sensor models, and vehicle kinematics. Chapter 4 deals with the problem of optimal navigation in the presence of obstacles. Chapter 5 discusses the problem of reactively navigating. In Chapter 6, border patrolling algorithms are applied to a more general problem of reactively navigating. A method for guidance of a Dubins-like mobile robot is presented in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 introduces and studies a simple biologically-inspired strategy for navigation a Dubins-car. Chapter 9 deals with a hard scenario where the environment of operation is cluttered with obstacles that may undergo arbitrary motions, including rotations and deformations. Chapter 10 presents a novel reactive algorithm for collision free navigation of a nonholonomic robot in unknown complex dynamic environments with moving obstacles. Chapter 11 introduces and examines a novel purely reactive algorithm to navigate a planar mobile robot in densely cluttered environments with unpredictably moving and deforming obstacles. Chapter 12 considers a multiple robot scenario. For the Control and Automation Engineer, this book offers accessible and precise development of important mathematical models and results. All the presented results have mathematically rigorous proofs. On the other hand, the Engineer in Industry can benefit by the experiments with real robots such as Pioneer robots, autonomous wheelchairs and autonomous mobile hospital.

Statistical Physics for Cosmic Structures

Statistical Physics for Cosmic Structures

Andrea Gabrielli; F. Sylos Labini; Michael Joyce; Luciano Pietronero

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
2004
sidottu
This book has its roots in a series of collaborations in the last decade at the interface between statistical physics and cosmology. The speci?c problem which initiated this research was the study of the clustering properties of galaxies as revealed by large redshift surveys, a context in which concepts of modern statistical physics (e. g. scale-invariance, fractality. . ) ?nd ready application. In recent years we have considerably broadened the range of problems in cosmology which we have addressed, treating in particular more theoretical issues about the statistical properties of standard cosmological models. What is common to all this research, however, is that it is informed by a perspective and methodology which is that of statistical physics. We can say that, beyond its speci?c scienti?c content, this book has an underlying thesis: such interdisciplinary research is an exciting playground for statistical physics, and one which can bring new and useful insights into cosmology. Thebook does not represent a ?nal point, but in our view, a marker in the development of this kind of research, which we believe can go very much further in the future. Indeed as we complete this book, new developments - which unfortunately we have not been able to include here - have been made on some of the themes described here. Our focus in this book is on the problem of structure in cosmology.

Lernen in Standardisierungsprozessen

Lernen in Standardisierungsprozessen

Andrea Hellwig; Prof. Dr. Michael Kleinaltenkamp

Gabler Verlag
2008
nidottu
GELEITWORT Die Erkenntnis, dass der Etablierung von Standards eine große Bedeutung für den Markterfolg technologischer Innovationen zukommt, ist nicht nur in der Wirtschaftspraxis weit verbreitet. Sie hat in den letzten Jahren auch dazu geführt, dass sich die wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Forschung zunehmend mit den marktlichen Aspekten von Standards beschäftigt hat. Dabei haben sich die betreffenden Untersuchungen zumeist mit den Rahmenbedingungen und Einflussfaktoren von Standardisierungsprozessen sowie den Wirkungen etablierter Standards befasst. Die Prozesse selbst hingegen, innerhalb derer sich Standards herausbilden und am Markt durchsetzen, sind aus diesen Betrachtungen weitgehend ausgeblendet worden. Die Verfasserin der vorliegenden Schrift hat sich deshalb die Aufgabe gestellt zu untersuchen, wie marktliche Standardisierungsprozesse verlaufen und durch welche Faktoren wiederum diese Prozesse geprägt und determiniert werden. Ausgehend von der in der Literatur weit verbreiteten Auffassung, dass Standards das Wissen der Marktteilnehmer über die getauschten Leistungen repräsentieren, konzentriert sie sich dabei insbesondere auf die Entstehung und Entwicklung dieses Wissens im Zeitablauf sowie auf die Frage, wie das betreffende Wissen von den beteiligten Akteuren erworben und genutzt wird. Dabei geht es ihr insbesondere darum, die sich auf der makroökonomischen Ebene vollziehenden Prozesse der kollektiven Wissensentstehung und -verbreitung mit den Abläufen des Lernens aber auch des Ent-Lernens auf der Ebene der einzelnen Individuen zu verknüpfen. Das bedeutet in der Konsequenz, dass die Verfasserin auf der theoretischen Ebene eine Brücke zwischen der öko- misch ausgerichteten Marktprozesstheorie auf der einen und den den Verhaltenswissenschaftenzuzurechnenden kognitionspsychologischen und behavioristischen Ansätzen auf der anderen Seite schlägt.

Hun var kendt som sin tids største kvindelige kunstmaler, et mirakel. Siden blev hun skrevet ud af kunsthistorien og glemt. Fortællingen om Sofonisba Anguissolas lange, virksomme liv under italiensk renæssance og ind i barokken er helt usædvanlig. I 2022 blev hun atter skrevet frem i historien med en ambitiøs særudstilling på Nivaagaards Malerisamling.Sofonisbas historie og mesterlige kunst er stadig til stor inspiration. Trods mere end 400 års afstand træder den eventyrlige kvindeskikkelse levende frem for os i sine selvportrætter, skriftlige kilder og gennem hendes gengivelser af mennesker, der betød noget for hende. Hun skildrede som ingen andre tidens kostbare tekstiler og smykker, oprigtige barneansigter, menneskeblikke og drømmende landskaber i baggrunden af sine tindrende smukke malerier.Sofonisba Anguissola var en kvindelig mønsterbryder og en sjælden rollemodel for sin tid. Siden gik hun i glemmebogen i takt med, at kvinder særligt i 1800-tallet blev skrevet ud af kunsthistorien.

Döden är människans grundvillkor, våra rädslors fixpunkt och förutsättningen för våra strävanden. Idéer om döden präglar alla kulturer och har gett upphov till såväl världsreligioner som lokala myter. I sekulära miljöer är dödens tillvaro dock mer undanskymd. Livsförlängande åtgärder har ersatt tanken om döden som meningsfull i sig eller en passage in i det okända. Denna volym täcker hela spektrumet av dödens skepnader med global spännvidd och historiskt djup; från några av de tidigast nedtecknade poetiska texterna via religiösa källskrifter och schamanistiska praktiker till rådande filosofiska och vetenskapliga perspektiv.I tjugofyra essäer utforskar svenska och inter­nationella experter olika vägar att närma sig döden. Bidragen omfattar egyptiska och sumeriska dödsriken, de stora religionernas etik, antika och moderna teorier om själen och medvetandet samt konstnärliga och litterära gestaltningar. I centrum för denna rikligt bildsatta antologi står frågan om vad historien kan lära oss inför vårt eget umgänge med döden och de döda. Boken finns även i engelsk utgåva.

What You Must Think of Me

What You Must Think of Me

Emily Ford; Michael Liebowitz; Linda Wasmer Andrews

Oxford University Press Inc
2007
sidottu
We've all felt occasional pangs of shyness and self-consciousness, but for those suffering with social anxiety disorder, the fear of being scrutinized and criticized can reach disabling proportions. Such was the case for Emily Ford, who shares her firsthand experiences in these pages. Emily's true story of fear, struggle, and ultimate triumph is sure to resonate with other socially anxious teenagers and young adults. Emily's frank, often witty, sometimes poignant account of how she negotiated all the obstacles of social anxiety--and eventually overcame them with the help of therapy and hard work--makes for compelling reading. Yet this book is more than just a memoir. Emily's story is coupled with the latest medical and scientific information about the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and self-management of social anxiety disorder (or SAD). Readers will find a wealth of solid advice and genuine inspiration here. In engaging, accessible language--and with the help of psychiatrist Michael Liebowitz--she discusses what is known and not known about social anxiety disorder in adolescents. She outlines the various psychotherapies available for those with SAD and explains how to seek professional help, how to talk to family and friends about the illness, and how to handle difficult social situations. The result is both an absorbing story and a useful guide that will help to ease the isolation caused by SAD, encouraging young people to believe that, with commitment and hard work, they can overcome this illness. Part of the Adolescent Mental Health Initiative series of books written specifically for teens and young adults, What You Must Think of Me will also be a valuable resource for friends and family of those with SAD. It offers much-needed hope to young people, helping them to overcome this illness and lead healthy, productive lives.

Policy Consultancy in Comparative Perspective

Policy Consultancy in Comparative Perspective

Cambridge University Press
2023
pokkari
Many Western countries have seen an increase in the volume and importance of external consultants in the public policy process. This book is the first to investigate this phenomenon in a comparative and interdisciplinary way. The analysis shows who these consultants are, how widely and for what reasons they are used in Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, The Netherlands and Sweden. In doing so, the book addresses the positive and negative implications of high levels of external policy consultancy, including its implications for the nature of the state (transforming into a contractor state?) and for democratically legitimized and accountable decision-making (transforming into consultocracy?). It provides valuable new insights for students and practitioners in the fields of public administration, public policy, public management, political science and human resource management.

Medieval European Coinage: Volume 12, Northern Italy

Medieval European Coinage: Volume 12, Northern Italy

Jr Day; Michael Matzke; Andrea Saccocci

Cambridge University Press
2020
pokkari
This volume of Medieval European Coinage is the first comprehensive survey of the coinage of north Italy c.950–1500, bringing the latest research to an international audience. It provides an authoritative and up-to-date account of the coinages of Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy and the greater Veneto, which have never been studied together in such detail on a broad regional basis. The volume reveals for the first time the wider trends that shaped the coinages of the region and offers new syntheses of the monetary history of the individual cities. It includes detailed appendices, such as a list of coin hoards, indices and a glossary, as well as a fully illustrated catalogue of the north Italian coins, including those of Genoa, Milan and Venice, in the unrivalled collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum, largely formed by Professor Philip Grierson (1910–2006).

M nnergeschichten ist eine ganz besondere Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten, die sich mehr oder weniger mit dem Thema Liebe, Sex und Homosexualit t auseinandersetzt. Unter anderem befinden sich in dieser Sammlung Texte, die einst als Charitybeitrag f r Bookrix dienten und Texte, die sich allein mit einer Reihe von Gef hlen befassen. Kurz gesagt befindet sich hierin alles, was nicht als reine Erotikgeschichte zu sehen ist. Manchmal ist es einfach nur die Frage, ob das vermeintlich starke Geschlecht nicht manchmal in eine Form gepresst wird und man sich sp ter wundert, warum es nicht in die Form passt. Meine berzeugung, dass Liebe v llig unabh ngig vom Geschlecht oder dem Alter ist, best rkt mich darin, die Homosexualit t von M nnern und auch von Frauen stets zu bef rworten ...
