Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.

As the sensorial capacity of the robots increases, for example with the availability of MEMS sensors, it will be a requisite for good real-time performance to wisely select and manage them, in order to fulfill the strong time requirements of machines moving in human environments. This work represents a first approach towards solving this kind of problems. An analysis is presented which permits the selection of the sensor requirements for collision avoidance tasks of mobile robots. The design is compatible with motion in real time, as only the indispensable environment zones are explored, avoiding unnecessary velocity reductions. Perception system restrictions can be considered in the strateg...
