Springer International Publishing AG Robotics Goes MOOC: Knowledge
Book SynopsisThe robot “concept” was clearly established by those many creative historical realizations, such as those recalled above. Nonetheless, the emergence of the “physical” robot had to await the advent of its underlying technologies of mechanics, controls, computers, electronics and sensors ―in one word, mechatronics― during the course of the twentieth century. As always, new designs motivate new research and discoveries which, in turn, lead to enhanced solutions and thus to novel concepts. This virtuous circle over time produced that knowledge and understanding which gave birth to the field of Robotics, properly referred to as the science and technology of robots.To make robots and intelligent machines useful to humans it is necessary to have a broad and tight intersection between Robotics and AI. Sophisticated mathematical models are needed that enable the robot from a physical point of view, as well as intelligent algorithms capable of correlating all the information coming from the use of technologically advanced sensors with the data available from experience. It is expected that the synergy of model-based techniques with data-driven approaches will contribute to increasing the level of autonomy of robots and intelligent machines in the near future.The first book of the Robotics Goes MOOC project starts with the journey of robotics in the introductory chapter by Khatib, who has pioneered our field of robotics and has ferried it to the third millennium. Sensing is crucial for the development of intelligent and autonomous robots, as covered in Chapter 2 by Nüchter et al. Model-based control is dealt with in Chapter 3 by Kröeger et al along with motion planning, as well as in Chapter 4 by Villani and Chapter 5 by Chaumette to handle force and visual feedback, respectively, when interacting with the environment. Resorting to AI techniques is the focus of the last part of the book, namely, Chapter 6 by Peters et al on Learning, Chapter 7 by Beetz et al on knowledge representation and reasoning, and Chapter 8 by Burgard et al on graph-based SLAM.Table of Contents1 Khatib, The Journey of Robotics.- 2 Nüchter, Sensing and Estimation.- 3 Kröger, Control and Motion Planning.- 4 Villani, Force Control.- 5 Chaumette, Visual Control.- 6 Peters, Learning.- 7 Beetz, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning- 8 Burgard, Graph-Based SLAM.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Mathematics and Information in the Philosophy of
Book SynopsisThis book introduces the reader to Serres' unique manner of doing philosophy' that can be traced throughout his entire oeuvre: namely as a novel manner of bearing witness. It explores how Serres takes note of a range of epistemologically unsettling situations, which he understands as arising from the short-circuit of a proprietary notion of capital with a praxis of science that commits itself to a form of reasoning which privileges the most direct path (simple method) in order to expend minimal efforts while pursuing maximal efficiency. In Serres' universal economy, value is considered as a function of rarity, not as a stock of resources. This book demonstrates how Michel Serres has developed an architectonics that is coefficient with nature. Mathematic and Information in the Philosophy of Michel Serres acquaints the reader with Serres' monist manner of addressing the universality and the power of knowledge that is at once also the anonymous and empty faculty of incandescent, inveTrade ReviewWhat happens when we take mathematics not as the elementary basis upon which science must bloom, but as an ‘architectonics’ that unfolds the world as it informs mass, space and time? With great rigor, in content and style, Bühlmann reads the concepts that Michel Serres produced in his oeuvre through his mathematics and information theory, revealing his highly original, inclusive and affirmative philosophy of the 21st century. -- Rick Dolphijn, Associate Professor of Theories of Arts and Culture, Utrecht University, the NetherlandsThe importance of Serres’ philosophy has mostly gone unrecognized in continental philosophy, even though this philosopher had a critical influence on many of its key figures, such as Deleuze and Foucault. The dearth of informed commentary is now reduced by this scholar whose knowledge of mathematics is able to bridge both the analytical and continental traditions. -- Gregg Lambert, Dean’s Professor of Humanities, Syracuse University, USATable of ContentsForeword Chapter one: Introduction The plan of this book Chapter two: Quantum literacy Elementary indecision Communication versus production: Bearing witness, and literacy Cultivating indecision: The quantum domain’s domesticity Ciphers, zeroness, equations: Architectonics of nothing Chance-bound objects Taking ignorance into account: Quantifying strangeness Entropy and negentropy The price of information as a measure for an object’s strangeness Quantum literacy: Towards a novel theory of the subject ‘La Langue est une Puissance’ Chapter three: Chronopedia I: Counting time Meteora: The wisdom of the weather Code: A rosetta stone, a double staircase Time modelled as contemporaneity Counting time: Equinox and solstice The turning points for modelled beginnings and ends Of tables and models Sense means significance and direction Meteora A logos genuine to the world – ‘Le Logiciél Intra-Matériel’ Software, hardware Economy of maxima and minima: An anarchic logos Chapter four: Chronopedia II: Treasuring time Homothesis as the locus in quo of the universal’s presence 1st iteration (acquiring a space of possibility) 2nd iteration (learning to speak a language in which no one is native) 3rd iteration (setting the stage for thought to comprehend itself) 4th iteration (intelligence that is immanent and coextensive with the universe) 5th iteration (inventing a scale of reproduction) 6th iteration (the formula, a double-articulating application) The amorous nature of intellectual conception 1st iteration (marking all that is assumed to be constant with a cipher) 2nd iteration (confluence of multiple geneses) 3rd iteration (the residence of that which is genuinely migrational) 4th iteration (universal genitality) 5th iteration (mathematics is the circuit of cunning reason’s ruses) 6th iteration (the real as a black spectrum) Chapter five: Banking universality: The magnitudes of ageing Metaphysics The quickness of a magnanimous universe Invariance: Genericness in terms of entropy and negentropy Genuine and immanent to the all of time: Le ‘logiciel intra-matériel’ White metaphysics: How old does the world think it is?

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) The Literary Lifeline
Book SynopsisThe Literary Lifeline is a tribute to the transporting and consoling power of reading. In this insightful and moving book, Kevin Harvey affirms the importance that language and literature can play in our lives, reminding us of reading's enduring, and sometimes surprising, ability to help us through times of illness, grief, and uncertainty.Interweaving fragments from his own experience of reading, Harvey takes us on a fascinating tour of reading for therapeutic effect, exploring the rise of shared reading and other uses of bibliotherapy in various social and personal contexts. He argues, through a series of compelling stories and life experiences, that reading not only benefits physical and emotional wellbeing, but that it also humanises the care process, particularly in institutional settings where personhood can be threatened or undermined completely.Whether he's writing about the drama and delight of reading aloud to other people, the humane magic of the public library, or the loss of his beloved brother and his improvised attempt to read through grief, Harvey offers us an engaging take on the solace of reading and the gift of the written word. Entertaining, highly accessible, and teeming with illuminating observations and ideas, The Literary Lifeline is a book that will appeal to both scholars and general readers alike.
