All studies and analysis highlight the importance given by the government, both developed countries as emerging markets to information and communication technologies (Aldrich and al, 2002). This strategic importance given to the roles of information and communication technologies is doubly justified: First, the economic sector where the information technology and communication is the largest so...

24 25 The molecular and physiological basis of the touch-unresponsive zebrafish mutant fakir has 26 remained elusive. Here we report that the fakir phenotype is caused by a missense mutation in the gene 27 encoding voltage-gated calcium channel 2.1b (CACNA1Ab). Injection of RNA encoding wild type 28 CaV2.1 restores touch responsiveness in fakir mutants, whereas knockdown of CACNA1Ab via 29 morp...

sur la piste cyclable, papa regarde-moi !, chuter en bmx, essuyer mes mains incrustées de pierres pointues. ici, dans les souvenirs mon premier quartier d’enfance, édifices côtoient des bidonvilles carton. j’emprunte trajets interminables vers le centre-ville montevideo, et je hume l’odeur aliments que personne ne peut m’offrir. nous sommes pauvres garrapiñadas, bizcochos, merengues panchos. ve...

Within the context of human/multi-robot teams, the “help me help you” paradigm offers different opportunities. A team of robots can help a human operator accomplish a goal, and a human operator can help a team of robots accomplish the same, or a different, goal. Two scenarios are examined here. First, a team of robots helps a human operator search a remote facility by recognizing objects of int...

Assistance planning is a distinctive type of interactive planning, in which the planner supports a human being while trying to achieve some complex goal. An intelligent assistant capable of assistance planning decreases the work overload, which is characteristic of several activities. On the other hand, it is of great help to humans working towards the solution of some complex problems [Lindner...
