R E S Two Metres

R.E.S. two metres

The book deals with light gliders that only have elevator, rudder, and spoiler function. The author gives the reader very concrete and detailed assistance in selecting, building, and equipping a suitable model. After the introduction of current kit models, hints for the selection and an outlook on possible modifications and own constructions, all necessary extension components are also discussed. In the chapter on building, there are lots of concrete tips on working with wooden models, including useful workshop equipment. Furthermore, there are instructions for flying in and adjusting the R.E.S. gliders as well as motorisation options for the electrically powered variants. A brief insight into the rules and statements on flight tactics in competition round off the book. From the content • Introduction – a few thoughts in advance • Henry Morgan – a small harbour tugboat to warm up • Little helpers – simple tools with great effect • Arngast – a plastic model learns to dive • Wulf Isebrand – deep drawing technology in miniature • Soldering aid – hole grid board to help with soldering • LED – Handling LEDs in Model Making • DUKW – a ship with wheels • ROV – maximum fun with minimal effort • Calypso – a handy functional model • Hermann Marwede – conversion of a Revell model in 1/72nd scale • Friesland – a crane ship with play value

Robot Intelligence Technology and Applications 2

We are facing a new technological challenge on how to store and retrieve knowledge and manipulate intelligence for autonomous services by intelligent systems which should be capable of carrying out real world tasks autonomously. To address this issue, robot researchers have been developing intelligence technology (InT) for “robots that think” which is in the focus of this book. The book covers all aspects of intelligence from perception at sensor level and reasoning at cognitive level to behavior planning at execution level for each low level segment of the machine. It also presents the technologies for cognitive reasoning, social interaction with humans, behavior generation, ability to cooperate with other robots, ambience awareness and an artificial genome that can be passed on to other robots. These technologies are to materialize cognitive intelligence, social intelligence, behavioral intelligence, collective intelligence, ambient intelligence and genetic intelligence. The book aims at serving researchers and practitioners with a timely dissemination of the recent progress on robot intelligence technology and its applications, based on a collection of papers presented at the at the 2nd International Conference on Robot Intelligence Technology and Applications (RiTA), held in Denver, USA, December 18-20, 2013.
