Instrumental Desires , Instrumental Rationality

The requirements of instrumental rationality are often thought to be normative conditions on choice or intention, but this is a mistake. Instrumental rationality is best understood as a requirement of coherence on an agent's non-instrumental desires and means-end beliefs. Since only a subset of an agent's means-end beliefs concern possible actions, the connection with intention is thus more obl...

Identification of 6 DOF Rigid Industrial Robots with the Instrumental Variable Method

This paper deals with the topic of robots dynamics identification. In this paper, we focus on the instrumental variable (IV) technique. For robots, the set of instruments is the inverse dynamic model built from simulated data which are calculated from the integration of the direct dynamic model, assuming the same reference trajectories and the same control law structure for both actual and simu...

Instrumental Analogy

The scalar mediation of the object through the space of representation ensures design methodologies based on similitude or procedural techniques must initially work upon appropriated forms. Given that translation ensures that these forms remain as a trace the architectural object is implicitly reliant on the application of analogy. While still bound to the act of drawing in, on or through the d...
