The role of robots in society keeps expanding and diversifying, bringing with it a host of issues surrounding the relationship between robots and humans. This introduction to human–robot interaction (HRI) by leading researchers in this developing field is the first to provide a broad overview of the multidisciplinary topics central to modern HRI research. Written for students and researchers from robotics, artificial intelligence, psychology, sociology, and design, it presents the basics of how robots work, how to design them, and how to evaluate their performance. Self-contained chapters discuss a wide range of topics, including speech and language, nonverbal communication, and processing emotions, plus an array of applications and the ethical issues surrounding them. This revised and expanded second edition includes a new chapter on how people perceive robots, coverage of recent developments in robotic hardware, software, and artificial intelligence, and exercises for readers to test their knowledge.
Our sense of agency and ability to distinguish between intentional and accidental actions are fundamental for social interaction. They allow us to plan and perform joint actions and assign responsibility for our own actions and those of others. Research on the nature of agency and intentions has been very fruitful over the last few decades in philosophy, linguistics, and psychology. However, trully new discoveries could be made only when we engage in interdisciplinary discussions. This volume is the result of such discussions.
The three-volume set LNCS 14801, 14802, and 14803 constitutes the proceedings of the 30th European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Processing, Euro-Par 2024, which took place in Madrid, Spain, during August 26–30, 2024. The 88 full papers included in the proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 293 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Part I: Programming, compilers, and performance; scheduling, resource management, cloud, edge computing, and workflows; Part II: Architectures and accelerators; data analytics, AI and computational science; Part III: Theory and algorithms; multidisciplinary, domain-specific and applied parallel and distributed computing.

Alla sua seconda prova narrativa, Lorenzo Licalzi ci regala un libro ironico, dalla prosa brillante e coinvolgente, che racconta nevrosi e risorse di un'intera generazione, con momenti di autentico godimento nei suoi momenti più comici e demistificatori. Romanzo generazionale, ironico e divertente, Non so narra le avventure di due giovani innamorati, Giulia e Mario, alle prese con un quotidiano che incalza, confonde e non lascia il tempo di decidere. Lei, di famiglia altoborghese, intelligente, affettuosa e sempre pronta a soprassedere alle continue indecisioni del compagno. Lui, eterno fanciullo che sogna di lavorare per tutta la vita alla radio, scansando accuratamente ogni opportunità d...
Aonia edizioni. La promozione della salute spesso usa l'educazione (alla salute) come strumento per il raggiungimento dei suoi obiettivi. Per questo la SIPS ha organizzato la prima giornata di studio "Strategie e modelli educativi per la promozione del benessere". Gli atti sono una risorsa importare per chi si occupa di promozione della salute. Le relazioni affrontano varie sfide che la promozione della salute oggi trova nei vari ambiti della società. La scuola è il territorio privilegiato per promuovere salute nelle generazioni future, ma anche un luogo di lavoro che genera stress. Si è parlato di modelli educativi mirati all'empowerment for health per i giovani, ma anche di stress lavoro correlato, di benessere soggettivo e della sua valutazione. Questi atti contengono anche gli abstract presentati nelle due sessioni parallele di comunicazioni orali.
