Du gothique au fantastique le plus postmoderne, de la fiction spéculative aux dystopies, l'imaginaire des futurs possibles de l'humanité permet d'explorer les frontières de l'humain. Depuis Foucault et son visage de sable, de nombreux philosophes et sociologues ont constaté une fragilisation de l'humain et son possible effacement dans un monde où la nature même du réel est remise en question. Au cours des dernières décennies, de nombreux textes sont venus complexifier la réflexion en la mettant en regard d'une posthumanité. Cet ouvrage explore les modes de représentation de l'humain à l'aube du posthumain.

Warum werden lebende Organismen, insbesondere der Mensch, als lebendige Maschinen verstanden? Warum hat der Mensch das Bedürfnis, sich selbst als Maschine nachzubauen? Das 18. Jahrhundert stand u.a. mit La Mettries Werk L’homme machine (1747) und den »lebendigen« Automaten eines Vaucansons im Zeichen verschiedener »Maschinentheorien des Lebendigen«. Um bis in die Gegenwart anhaltende Tradierungen und Wandlungen des damals fundierten Mensch-Maschinen-Konstrukts erfahrbar zu machen, rückt der Mensch als Forschungsobjekt der KI und der Robotik ins Blickfeld. Es steht zu beantworten, inwieweit die Rede vom Maschinenmenschen und der Bau künstlicher Maschinen dazu verhelfen, Wissen über den Menschen zu erlangen.

This book is for researchers, engineers, and students who are willing to understand how humanoid robots move and be controlled. The book starts with an overview of the humanoid robotics research history and state of the art. Then it explains the required mathematics and physics such as kinematics of multi-body system, Zero-Moment Point (ZMP) and its relationship with body motion. Biped walking control is discussed in depth, since it is one of the main interests of humanoid robotics. Various topics of the whole body motion generation are also discussed. Finally multi-body dynamics is presented to simulate the complete dynamic behavior of a humanoid robot. Throughout the book, Matlab codes are shown to test the algorithms and to help the reader´s understanding.
