Human-Friendly Robotics 2019
This book covers a wide range of topics related to human–robot interaction, both physical and cognitive, including theories, methodologies, technologies, and empirical and experimental studies. The International Workshop on Human-Friendly Robotics (HFR) is an annual meeting that brings together academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to present their latest, original findings on all aspects concerning the introduction of robots into everyday life. The growing need to automate daily tasks, combined with new robot technologies, is driving the development of human-friendly robots, i.e., safe and dependable machines that operate in close proximity to humans or directly interact ...
A Hybrid Physical and Data-drivApproach to Motion Prediction and Control in Human-Robot Collaboration
In recent years, researchers have achieved great success in guaranteeing safety in human-robot interaction, yielding a new generation of robots that can work with humans in close proximity, known as collaborative robots (cobots). However, due to the lack of ability to understand and coordinate with their human partners, the ``co'' in most cobots still refers to ``coexistence'' rather than ``collaboration''. This thesis aims to develop an adaptive learning and control framework with a novel physical and data-driven approach towards a real collaborative robot. The first part focuses on online human motion prediction. A comprehensive study on various motion prediction techniques is presented, i...
The 1st Orsi Innotech Surgical AI Day congress report
The first Orsi Innotech Surgical AI Day conference took place on the 14th and 15th of December 2023, at Orsi Academy located in Melle, Belgium. Orsi Academy is an open and inclusive ecosystem for the safe and effective implementation of new technologies in medical practice, with a specific focus on training in minimal invasive surgery. Orsi Academy is an independent institution that is endorsed by multiple universities and collaborates with numerous scientific societies and industrial partners. The infrastructure is constructed to allow these stakeholders to work together if appreciated but in full privacy if needed. Using by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computer vision, Orsi Academy’s technical department, Orsi Innotech [Figure 1A], aims to improve surgical training with the ultimate goal to achieve better patient outcomes by safer and more patient-centered surgery. The Surgical AI Day conference was organized by Orsi Academy’s CEO Prof. Dr. Alexandre Mottrie together with Dr. Ir. Pieter De Backer, Medical Doctor (MD) and Head of the Innotech department.

Nelle diverse fasi che hanno scandito la storia del Pci le donne ci sono sempre state e hanno svolto un ruolo fondamentale, contribuendo a costruire il popolo comunista come comunità, introducendovi la pratica della vita quotidiana, facendo vivere legami umani e passione civile. Sono state vere e proprie «sentinelle del cambiamento», quel le che percepivano per prime i mutamenti della società e volevano capirli, elaborarli, dare loro delle risposte concrete. Spesso però il riconoscimento del loro contributo è stato riservato soltanto alle figure più note, dalle madri costituenti in avanti, dimenticando le tante donne comuni che nelle retrovie della Resistenza, nelle sezioni di partito...
Photography as Power
Enriched with an introduction by David Forgacs, this book explores the complex relationship between photography and power in its various manifestations in Italian history throughout the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. How did the Italian state employ the medium of photography as an instrument of dominance? In which ways has photography been used as a critical medium to resist hegemonic discourses? Taking into account published and unpublished images from professional photographers such as Letizia Battaglia, Tano D’Amico and Mario Cresci and non-professional photographers, artists, photo-reporters, and war soldiers, as well as social scientists and criminologists, such as ...
Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and Neurological/Psychiatric Disorders
Considering that neurological and psychiatric illnesses do not still have efficient therapies and are becoming increasingly widespread, the search for novel targets appears fundamental. Neuroinflammation, alterations in adult neurogenesis and excitotoxicity, all associated with glutamate transmission dysfunction, are key components of the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric illnesses. Counteracting the neurotoxic actions of glutamate through the modulatory actions of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), represents a rational intervention that offers tolerability compatible with clinical therapy. Their suitability as targets for developing novel therapies is also based o...
Meiofauna Biodiversity and Ecology
Sedimentary habitats cover the vast majority of the ocean floor and constitute the largest ecosystem on Earth. These systems supply fundamental services to human beings, such as food production and nutrient recycling. It is well known that meiofauna are an abundant and ubiquitous component of sediments, even though their biodiversity and importance in marine ecosystem functioning remain to be fully investigated. In this book, the meiofaunal biodiversity trends in marine habitats worldwide are documented, along with the collection of empirical evidence on their role in ecosystem services, such as the production, consumption, and decomposition of organic matter, and energy transfer to higher a...
La sfida della competenza plurilingue
Il multilinguismo, cioè la presenza su un territorio di più lingue, è una condizione ormai diffusa in Europa ed altrove, ed il plurilinguismo, ossia la capacità delle persone di parlare più di una lingua, è diventata un obiettivo irrinunciabile di ogni sistema educativo. La scuola deve accogliere al suo interno più insegnamenti linguistici, ponendoli in stretta relazione tra loro in un'educazione linguistica integrata. Questo volume, destinato a insegnanti e studenti della scuola secondaria, raccoglie una serie di Attività per gli insegnanti, in cui si sollecita, attraverso letture, questionari e schede strutturate, la riflessione personale, la discussione e la progettazione cooperativa sui nodi fondamentali di una politica linguistica integrata e le corrispondenti scelte metodologiche e didattiche. Segue una serie di Attività per gli studenti, che offrono esercizi, giochi e compiti per stimolare la consapevolezza linguistica e per favorire un uso più flessibile e creativo delle risorse in loro possesso.
