This book provides an overview of Educational Robotics and includes information that reflects the current status of the field, research activity, experiences, and new tools. It compiles the contributions presented at the 14th International Conference on Robotics in Education (RiE2023). Beyond insights into theoretical aspects, practical projects and syllabus activities exemplify the concepts and provide implementation ideas, which span the whole educational system from kindergarten to the university level. The relevance to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is highlighted by teaching the topics in a unified framework. The book constitutes a valuable resource for educators, researchers, scientists, and engineers interested in robotics. It covers topics including school teaching curricula, educational methodologies and pedagogy, projects, competitions, hardware, simulations, programming, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in education.
This book comprises the latest achievements in research and development in educational robotics presented at the 13th International Conference on Robotics in Education (RiE), which was carried out as a purely virtual conference from April 27 to 28, 2022. Researchers and educators will find valuable methodologies, experiences, and tools for robotics in education that encourage learning in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) through the design, creation, and programming of robots addressing real-world societal needs. Social robotics is becoming an important topic in education as well. This also involves various modern technologies ranging from robotics platforms to programming environments and languages. Many papers also prove the positive impact of robotics on the students’ interests and competence development. The presented approaches cover the whole educative range from kindergarten to the university level and lifelong learning.
This book provides the reader with a comprehensive, relevant, and visually rich insight into the world of research methods specifically aimed at product designers. It includes practical case studies and tutorials that will inform, inspire and help you to conduct product design research better. Product designers need a comprehensive understanding of research methods as their day-to-day work routinely involves them observing people, asking questions, searching for information, making and testing ideas, and ultimately generating 'solutions' to 'problems'. Manifest in the design process is the act of research. Huge technological advances in information, computing and manufacturing processes also...
Digital information about physical products and the availability of production tools and facilities transforms design into an open discipline
A visionary yet practical guide to building a more sustainable future, by one of the most important voices in environmentally aware design Are there practical solutions to the many global challenges—climate change, poverty, insufficient healthcare—that threaten our way of life? Author John Thackara has spent a lifetime roving the globe in search of design that serves human needs. In this clear-eyed but ultimately optimistic book, he argues that, in our eagerness to find big technological solutions, we have all too often ignored the astonishing creativity generated when people work together and in harmony with the world around them. Drawing on an inspiring range of examples, from a temple...

Když prozaický cyklus Květy Legátové Želary vyšel roku 2001 v nakladatelství Paseka poprvé, málokdo tušil, že se dílo neznámé autorky stane literární senzací. Realistické a nesentimentální líčení leckdy krutých osudů lidí z fiktivní beskydské vesnice od té doby zaujalo desetitisíce českých čtenářů a kniha, rok po vydání vyznamenaná Státní cenou za literaturu, byla již přeložena do pěti jazyků. Její titul nese i úspěšný film Ondřeje Trojana z roku 2003, natočený podle novely Jozova Hanule, jež sérii želarských příběhů uzavírá. Ucelený a vnitřně nápaditě propojený soubor osmi baladických a současně naturalistických próz, zasazených do období mezi světovými válkami, představuje veskrze moderní dílo, jež svou jedinečnou poetikou i tématem touhy po svobodě a hledání vyššího smyslu lidského konání bezpochyby osloví ještě řadu čtenářských generací.
The main question of our age is how we live our lives. As we struggle with this question, we face others. How do we handle ideas and knowledge, both our own and those of others? What relationship to ideas do we want? Whose ideas do we want to be surrounded by? Where do we want to think? Most choose, or have the choice made for them, according to what family, colleagues, and friends do and say and what we read about, and a more or less rational calculation of the odds. Modern ecology results from the shift in thinking generated by quantum physics and systems theory, from the old view based on reductionism, mechanics, and fixed quantities to a new view based on holistic systems where qualities...

"Creative Heritage is a manifesto during the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018. It represents a call to forge connections once again between cultural heritage as things and spaces on the one hand and ideas and people on the other. Creative Heritage demands that cultural heritage be protected, used creatively and viewed as the basis and impulse to create something new. Creative Heritage shows how cultural heritage can provide an impetus to integrate the society of today and design the cities of tomorrow. 'We are campaigning to integrate cultural heritage into creative development' writes Filipe Barata, UNESCO Chairman and one of the 42 authors of the book, as well as sponsor of the init...
