Modeling ontologies for robotic environments
2002
On the basis of a multiple abstraction levels specification process, we developed a representational model for environmental robotic knowledge through the definition of a set of ontologies using a multi perspective approach. A general ontological model for typical indoor environments has been first developed, followed by its specialization using an implementation perspective. Actual software implementation of the ontology has been obtained via a XML-based markup language, used to build a repository for robotic environmental knowledge. Copyright 2002 ACM.
FROM A COLLABORATIVE DESIGNING OF STORYTELLING TO A ROBOTIC AND VIRTUAL WORLD REPRESENTATION
2012
This paper presents an experiential learning lab focused on building a digital storytelling using both robots with LEGO Mindstorms and virtual worlds with Kodu Game Lab. The experiential laboratory (32 hours) has involved 33 children of secondary schools in a collaborative learning setting in formal (school labs) and informal learning context (external cultural association). In a first phase of the activity children used Lego Mindstorm robotic kits, assembling them and creating a physical environment (pasterboard arenas) where robots were programmed for moving and taking actions. In a second phase children were invited to transfer the physical world built for robots in a new digital storyte…
Rilkean Memories and the Self of a Robot
2019
This paper discusses the concept of Rilkean memories, recently introduced by Mark Rowlands, to analyze the complex intermix of hardware and software related to the self of a robot. The Rilkean memory of an event is related to the trace of that episode left in the body of the individual. It transforms the act of remembering into behavioral and bodily dispositions, thus generating the peculiar behavioral style of the individual, which is at the basis of her autobiographical self. In the case of long-life operating robots, a similar process occurs: the software of the robot has to cope with the changes that happened in the body of the robot because of damaging events in its operational life. T…
The contribution of AI to enhance understanding of Cultural Heritage.
2013
The Artificial Intelligence & Cultural Heritage (AI & CH) working group was born in 1999 with the aim at promoting various scientific activities to increase a more active collaboration between the sectors of cultural assets and artificial intelligence. The many events (workshops and schools) organized over the years have shown the validity of this group for exchanging ideas and gathering researchers and practitioners from different fields. New applications of informatics and artificial intelligence have provided the opportunity to produce innovative tools for documenting, managing and communicating cultural heritage. For this anniversary we intend to show how some of the most important meth…
Contributions à l’imagerie polarimétrique et à ses applications en vision pour la robotique
2019
Ce mémoire présente le bilan de l'ensemble de mes travaux de recherche effectués de septembre 2006 à juin 2019 au sein de l'équipe Creusotine du laboratoire Le2i devenue équipe Vibot ERL CNRS 6000 depuis janvier 2018. Les principales activités de recherche que j'ai menées au cours de ces 10 dernières années autour de l'imagerie polarimétrique, de la vision omnidirectionnelle et de leurs applications en vision pour la robotique seront particulièrement détaillées dans ce document. Elles seront présentées selon deux grandes parties : la première concernera plutôt l'aspect mise en œuvre et calibrage des caméras et la seconde se concentrera sur les applications potentielles en vision pour la rob…
CAMBIO DE ACTITUDES Y VALORES ANTE LA ENERGÍA TRAS EL USO DE UN JUEGO DE ROL
2010
Los juegos de rol en educación se han definido como dramatizaciones que se vertebran en torno a una situación concreta y utilizan la asignación de papeles a alumnos, quienes deberán defender con argumentos una opinión (previamente perfilada) frente a un problema. Cada vez más utilizados en la educación formal y no formal, destacan entre sus ventajas el convertir lo lúdico en aprendizaje, potenciar el aprendizaje de actitudes y valores y la conexión que se realiza con la vida real entre otros. La utilización de un juego de rol en una investigación educativa sobre cambio de actitudes y valores ante los recursos energéticos cuyos resultados educativos fueron positivos, permitió repetir dicha i…
Expiration of Time Limits and the Ius Appellationis
2022
The rotal decree under comment offers the cue to address the delicate topic of the appeal and the peremptory time limits for its presentation, especially in light of the recent reform of the canonical matrimonial process promulgated by Pope Francis.On the basis of the new structure of the process of matrimonial nullity appears, in fact, evident the legislative disfavor, towards the appeal, seen as a potentially dangerous tool for the salus animarum of the faithful for the risk of procedural lengths connected to it, so as to provide for a prior examination of admissibility in order to avoid that they were made for the purpose of mere dilatory, that is, for the sole purpose of lengthening the…
Hacia la implementación de un modelo de atención temprana por parte de una Organización Paraguaya
2020
Implementation science has been developed to help understand why evidence-based practices are not adopted as rapidly as they might. We describe here the process a rehabilitation center in Paraguay is undergoing to transform itself into a state-of-the-art early intervention program. We describe the organization and its contextual strengths and barriers, the model it chose to implement, and the implementation procedures it has attempted. The implications for model fidelity are highlighted, as this organization needed to make adaptations to the model as designed, to fit the particular context of its mission and the Paraguayan culture. Features of the Routines-Based Model are described. La cie…
Measuring Vulnerability in the Food System
2015
Food system vulnerability is an emerging concept for food security policies and food supply chain management. Hence, measuring food system vulnerability is necessary for developing appropriate food security policies and managing food supply chain vulnerabilities. In this paper, we aim to clarify the development process of food system vulnerability indicators. We conducted an abducted qualitative content analysis based on public documents of various Finnish organizations, including ministries and administration, interest organizations, NGOs, food sector enterprises, and a church. We analysed the engagement level of various organizations in food security and identified vulnerability aspects i…
Sur la réductibilité des graphes de contraintes géométriques
2017
La modélisation géométrique par contraintes dont les applications intéressent des communautés issues de divers domaines tels l'ingénierie mécanique, la conception assistée par ordinateur, le calcul symbolique ou la chimie moléculaire est maintenant intégré dans les outils standards de modélisation. Dans cette discipline une forme géométrique est spécifiée par les relations que doivent vérifier les composants de cette forme au lieu de spécifier explicitement ces composants. Le but de la résolution est de déduire la forme répondant à toutes ces contraintes. Diverses méthodes ont été proposées pour résoudre ce problème. Nous nous intéresserons spécifiquement aux méthodes dites graphiques ou ba…
