    • English
    Within the sphere of children's learning and play, the concept of robot and the application of actual robots are undergoing a dramatic expansion. Here the term "robot" refers to a growing range of interactive devices-including toys, pets, assistants to the disabled, and overtly educational tools-which are being used in ways that are expected to have profound and beneficial effects on how our children develop and grow.Robots for Kids: Exploring New Technologies for Learning opens with contributions from leading designers and researchers, each offering a unique perspective into the challenge of developing robots specifically for children. The second part is devoted to the stories of educators who work with children using these devices, exploring new applications and mapping their impact. Throughout the book, essays by children are included that discuss their first-hand experiences and ideas about robots. This is an engaging, entertaining, and insightful book for a broad audience, including HCI, AI, and robotics researchers in business and academia, new media and consumer product developers, robotics hobbyists, toy designers, teachers, and education researchers.
  • Big Book of Internet File Transfer RFCs

    • 1st Edition
    • Peter Loshin
    • English
    File Transfer Protocol (FTP) was one of the first applications implemented on the Internet, and it is also one of the most fundamental. Almost all Internet hosts support it, as do almost all browsers. This volume offers exhaustive coverage of the rules governing how clients and servers communicate to enable successful data transfers via FTP. In addition to documentation of file transfer mechanics, readers will find practical instructions on many special techniques, including using file transfers for network booting and the security issues relating to file transfer over the Internet. Despite the growing acceptance of protocols specific to the Web, there remain many scenarios in which simple file transfer offers clear-cut advantages. Thus, this book is certain to prove an important source of information for years to come.

    Some Chosen Problems and New Ideas
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 15
    • M. Nowakowska
    • English
    Examining selected statistical and modeling approaches in psychology, the book concentrates on the topics of mental test theory and theory of measurement. The main objective is not only to present a critical view of the approaches suggested up until now, but also their reinterpretation, extension and enrichment by new theories and concepts, for example, formal theories of semiotics and knowledge, and a unifying theory of actions.The book also shows a relation between test theory and the foundations of fuzzy set theory. It presents new models of measurement tools and new measurement theories of concepts such as objective and subjective time, risk or utility, and discusses the cognitive foundations of these theories, namely the theory of perception and observability.
