Abordaremos los eventos festivos de la nobleza castellana en Baja Edad Media a través su universo sensorial. Durante las celebraciones castellanas bajomedievales, sus asistentes no solo vieron entorno sino que lo oyeron, olieron, tocaron y saborearon, por sentidos participaron construcción un modelo festivo cortesano. Esta propuesta se inscribe el denominado “giro sensorial” ciencias sociales a...

UNLABELLED The cerebellum, traditionally conceived as a controlling organ of motricity, it is today considered an all-important integration center for both sensitivity and coordination of the various phases of the cognitive process. AIM This paper aims at gather and sort literature information on the cerebellums role in the auditory perception. METHODS We have selected animal studies of bot...

In this paper an adaptive multiagent robotic assembly system is presented. State of the art industrial equipment is utilized to perform various assembly tasks in a highly unstructured environment without the need for central control. The emphasis is given to the developed methods that address particular issues in such robotic assembly systems. Close collaboration and intertwined work with human...

Based on the assumption that the link between stimulus and percept is of statistical nature, the subject of sensory communication is tackled from the standpoint of the Shannon's theory of information. After introduction of the general mathematical model identifying the given source of stimuli to an abstract information source and the given channel of sensorial perception to an abstract communic...

Constructing narratives involves mobilising the traveller imagination and finding original ways to convey narrative intentions. When a traveller invents a story, there is a natural interaction with the local environment and the use of various means of expression. Our goal is to adopt a user-centred approach to envision new instruments, to support travellers when performing their activities. The...

Connecting words with senses, namely, sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, to comprehend the sensorial information in language is a straightforward task for humans by using commonsense knowledge. With this in mind, a lexicon associating words with senses would be crucial for the computational tasks aiming at interpretation of language. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no syste...

The proposal of this work is to develop hardware and algorithms completely integrated with the sensorial systems of robots. The intention is adjust its movements in sensorial environments. In this context, the algorithms are called Artificial Proprioceptive Systems (APS), where these algorithms detail how to configure controllers for to provide the movement of robot-arm.This work initially intr...

Background: The population ageing occurring worldwide resulted in multiple researches on sedentary ageing and quality of life. Purpose: To verify the effects of a physical activity programme on the quality of life (QOL) of elderly individuals served by a governmental health programme. Design: Descriptive inquiry research. Methods: randomly distributing 70 elderly individuals in a control group ...

While humans are capable of building connections between words and sensorial modalities by using commonsense knowledge, it is not straightforward for machines to interpret sensorial information. To this end, a lexicon associating words with human senses, namely sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, would be crucial. Nonetheless, to the best of our knowledge, there is no systematic attempt in ...
