This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First Robotic Grasping and Manipulation Challenge, RGMC 2016, held at IROS 2016, Daejeon, South Korea, in October 2016. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and are describing the rules, results, competitor systems and future directions of the inaugural competition. The competition was designed to allow researchers focused on the application of robot systems to compare the performance of hand designs as well as autonomous grasping and manipulation solutions across a common set of tasks. The competition was comprised of three tracks that included hand-in-hand grasping, fully autonomous grasping, and simulation.

La philosophie chinoise est perçue par les lecteurs européens comme une pensée profondément différente de la philosophie occidentale. Cette différence découle notamment du style de raisonnement que l'on y rencontre, qui paraît complètement étranger à celui qui s'est imposé dans le monde moderne. Le présent ouvrage se veut une introduction à la philosophie chinoise en partant de l'origine de ce raisonnement infiniment différent : les idéogrammes. L'écriture idéographique a exercé une influence profonde et durable sur la pensée chinoise. En effet, contrairement à ce qui se produit avec une écriture alphabétique, la signification des idéogrammes provient d'un montage et non d'une correspondance. Ce livre invite ainsi le lecteur à remonter aux origines de la philosophie chinoise, en montrant comment les idéogrammes ont orienté la façon dont les intellectuels des temps anciens percevaient la réalité et formulaient leurs enquêtes sur la vérité, avec comme principe central la notion de la Voie, le chemin qui mène toute chose à son terme. Le Yijing, d'abord écrit pour la divination puis largement commenté au fil des siècles, est considéré comme la racine de toute la pensée chinoise. Son exploration constitue donc la première étape de ce voyage et nous plonge dans la toute première constitution philosophique. Cette première tentative philosophique donne le ton pour l'ensemble de la philosophie chinoise ultérieure, posée comme une recherche de la Voie. Le voyage se poursuit avec une introduction aux principales écoles de la pensée chinoise que sont le confucianisme, le taoïsme, le bouddhisme Han et le néoconfucianisme, le long d'un même fil rouge : tenter de dégager comment l'interrogation sur la Voie a structuré ces écoles philosophiques, et rendre compte des débats qu'elles ont menés, tant sur la nature de cette Voie que sur les principes éthiques que l'on peut chercher à construire en l'imitant.

This is the first book to focus on robotic reproductive cell manipulation. It provides readers with the fundamental principles underpinning robotic manipulation of reproductive cells, including sperm, oocytes, and embryos, state-of-the-art technical advances in actuation, sensing and control for cell manipulation, and emerging automated systems for reproductive cell manipulation. The methods presented in the book are generic and can be translated to manipulating other types of cells, such as cancer cells and cardiomyocytes. Robotic Manipulation of Reproductive Cells will be an essential reference for graduate students and researchers working on small-scale robotic systems for cell manipulation and characterization, healthcare professionals interested in nanoscale, microscale, milli-scale robotic techniques for clinical cell surgeries and assisted reproduction, and engineers developing small-scale robotic systems for biomedical engineering, biology, and medicine. Introduces the applications of robotic cell manipulation; Highlights advances in infertility diagnosis and treatment; Provides insightful outlook on future challenges and opportunities. .

This book provides in-depth analysis and guidance in the clinical diagnosis and treatment, and development of new treatments with clinical applied prospect of burn and trauma associated lung injury, and does further study on the pathological change of burn and trauma associated lung injury such as inhalation injury, lung blast injury, pulmonary barotrauma, delayed hemopneumothorax, lung injury associated sepsis, ventilator-induced lung injury and ischemia-reperfusion lung injury. It is also compiled with many clinical typical cases, full data and series of pictures. It persists in combining theory and practice, and highlights practical application to reflect the theoretical value. It is very suitable for the medical teaching and can also be used as a reference book for medical doctoral students, postgraduates, and medical trainees receiving continuing education from critical care medicine, burn & trauma surgery, and emergency medicine. It also aims at bringing more clinicians’ attention to burn-/trauma-induced lung injury, making them familiar with the relevant theories and clinical diagnose; guiding the treatment of burn and trauma associated lung injury and improving the prognosis and life quality of patients; stimulating more clinicians and researchers to further explore the pathological mechanism and new treatments of burn and trauma associated lung injury. Editor Zhao-fan Xia is a Professor and Director Department of Burn Surgery, Changhai Hospital, Shanghai, China. Professor Xia is the Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering.
