Successfully Conduct and Report on Any Architectural Forensic InvestigationArchitectural Forensics clearly defines the role, responsibilities, and essential work of forensic architects.
A comprehensive review of the principles and dynamics of robotic systems Dynamics and Control of Robotic Systems offers a systematic and thorough theoretical background for the study of the dynamics and control of robotic systems.
Bringing together case studies ranging across the globe, including the US-Mexico borderlands, the Calais encampment in France, refugee camps in Kenya, Uganda and Bangladesh and contested 'informal' enclaves and communities in the cities of India, China, Brazil, Nigeria and South Africa, this book challenges current ways of thinking about the governance of human settling, mobility and placemaking.
This work looks under the hood of all robotic projects, stimulating teachers, students, and hobbyists to learn more about the gamut of areas associated with control systems and robotics.
The proceedings of the 2022 edition of the International Symposium of Robotics Research (ISRR) offer a series of peer-reviewed chapters that report on the most recent research results in robotics, in a variety of domains of robotics including robot design, control, robot vision, robot learning, planning, and integrated robot systems.
Human-in-the-loop Learning and Control for Robot Teleoperation presents recent, research progress on teleoperation and robots, including human-robot interaction, learning and control for teleoperation with many extensions on intelligent learning techniques.
While urban settlements are the drivers of the global economy and centres of learning, culture, and innovation and nations rely on competitive dynamic regions for their economic, social, and environmental objectives, urban centres and regions face a myriad of challenges that impact the ways in which people live and work, create wealth, and interact and connect with places.
This book contains seventeen contributions in the form of independent chapters, covering a broad range of topics related to human-robot interaction at physical and cognitive levels.
The current climate crisis and the rapid transformation of the natural environments will inevitably pose a threat to human settlements around the world.
Cette étude montre le rôle et la présence précoces en Éthiopie d'un semis de villes dont le but est demeuré la gestion et la fabrique de territoires éthiopiens.
Au moment où la notion de développement durable devient centrale, la réflexion sur la pérennité urbaine se justifie, car l'urbanisation traduit une conquête protéiforme, répétitive et banale des espaces tandis que la ville renvoie à la singularité, à l'héritage, à l'historicité, à l'esthétique et à la complexité.
High speed rail (HSR) is being touted as a strategic investment for connecting people across regions, while also fostering prosperity and smart urban growth.
The Japanese urban alleyway, which was once part of people's personal spatial sphere and everyday life has been transformed by diverse and competing interests.
This book of Advances in Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (proceedings of ICDLAIR 2020) is intended to be used as a reference by students and researchers who collect scientific and technical contributions with respect to models, tools, technologies and applications in the field of modern artificial intelligence and robotics.
Circular Design for Zero Emission Architecture and Building Practice: It is the Green Way or the Highway presents the main concepts of circular architecture and building design, focusing on emerging trends in zero-emission buildings, particularly zero- and minus- carbon practice.
Cinquante années de l'histoire d'Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve depuis les origines de la ville nouvelle, au travers des défis qu'elle a rencontrés et des débats qui l'ont animée.
Ce livre, qui retrace l'histoire coloniale de Dakar, affiche comme borne chronologique de départ 1857 (celle de la fondation officielle de la ville) jusqu'à la date de 1966, retenue pour fixer l'entrée du Sénégal dans le concert des nations souveraines et l'obtention d'un nouveau statut, celui de ville postcoloniale.
À l'heure où les atouts des métropoles sont loués tant du côté des économistes que des politiques, cet ouvrage souligne les avantages comparatifs des territoires ruraux et des villes petites et moyennes, et en particulier la résistance des tissus productifs de ces espaces au-delà de leur attraction résidentielle.
Autonomous manufacturing and cyber-physical systems are key enabling technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4) which are currently being incorporated into the building design and construction industries.
Cognitive mathematics provides insights into how mathematics works inside the brain and how it is interconnected with other faculties through so-called blending and other associative processes.
In addition to senior scientists, who have summarised their main results in the five volumes of the Future Megacities Book Series, ambitious young researchers have also contributed substantially to the German research programme on sustainable development of future megacities.
Through speeches, articles and interviews, this book highlights some of the more significant considerations that have run parallel with Vassilis Sgoutas' own steps in architecture.
Based on the example of the Hamburg district of Wilhelmsburg, this book presents a strategic approach to the energy conversion of a district, which aims to be almost exclusively supplied by renewable and locally generated energy by 2050.
While the trend towards the growth of megacities creates huge challenges, it also offers the opportunity for reshaping mobility patterns in cities, promoting energy efficiency and principles of low carbon development.
Seit mehr als 40 Jahren befasst sich der Architekt und Stadtplaner Jan Gehl damit, Plätze, Straßen, ja ganze Stadtviertel zum Wohle der Bewohner neu oder umzugestalten.
The projects in the Future Megacities programme gain valuable experiences in developing energy efficient standards and urban structures with adequate conditions to treat resources with care and avoid unnecessary emissions.
The significance of bottom-up approaches initiated by civil society as well as the importance of the local level as the level for implementation is often overlooked when dealing with megacity developments.
