Abstract

Fotograaf Marco Mertens brengt 15 diverse mensen in beeld voor wie handen een cruciale rol spelen in hun leven. Omdat ze die nodig hebben voor hun ambacht, hun passie, hun kunst, hun sport. Hun handen dragen er de sporen van. Koen Lauwereyns schreef aansluitend de tekst en interviews met de betrokkenen. Het zijn stuk voor stuk interessante, opmerkelijke innovatieve hands on ondernemers, met een handmade beroep. Met een portret van Hilda de Maere, tolk VGT. Interviews met en foto's van vijftien mensen die werken met hun handen: een boekbinder, beeldhouwer, slager, bokser, tatoeëerder, glasjuwelier, pianist, graffitikunstenaar, schrijnwerker, dierenarts, sportkinesitherapeut, doventolk, dassenmaakster, vroedvrouw en fietsenmaker.

Abstract

This volume adds new dimension and organization to the literature of touch and the hand, covering a diversity of topics surrounding the perception and cognition of touch in relation to the hand. No animal species compare to humans with regard to the haptic (or touch) sense, so unlike visual or auditory cognition, we know little about such haptic cognition. We do know that motor skills play a major role in haptics, but senses like vision do not determine hand preference or hand ability. It seems also that the potential ability to perform a task may be present in both hands and evidence indicate

Abstract

The California Naturalist Handbook provides a fun, science-based introduction to California's natural history with an emphasis on observation, discovery, communication, stewardship and conservation. It is a hands-on guide to learning about the natural environment of California. Subjects covered include California natural history and geology, native plants and animals, California's freshwater resources and ecosystems, forest and rangeland resources, conservation biology, and the effects of global warming on California's natural communities. The Handbook also discusses how to create and use a field notebook, natural resource interpretation, citizen science, and collaborative conservation and serves as the primary text for the California Naturalist Program.

Abstract

Grasping in Robotics contains original contributions in the field of grasping in robotics with a broad multidisciplinary approach. This gives the possibility of addressing all the major issues related to robotized grasping, including milestones in grasping through the centuries, mechanical design issues, control issues, modelling achievements and issues, formulations and software for simulation purposes, sensors and vision integration, applications in industrial field and non-conventional applications (including service robotics and agriculture).   The contributors to this book are experts in their own diverse and wide ranging fields. This multidisciplinary approach can help make Grasping in Robotics of interest to a very wide audience. In particular, it can be a useful reference book for researchers, students and users in the wide field of grasping in robotics from many different disciplines including mechanical design, hardware design, control design, user interfaces, modelling, simulation, sensors and humanoid robotics. It could even be adopted as a reference textbook in specific PhD courses.  .
