CONT

The cost functions used within predictive dynamics are similar to those used with optimization-based posture prediction. The goal of these functions is to drive the motion prediction based on minimizing factors, like energy and effort. This minimization must still adhere to all constraints specified for the particular motion. The distinguishing constraint of predictive dynamics is that it incorporates the general equations of motion. These equations describe the dynamics of our world, and attempt to solve for an unknown motion and the forces behind it.

La planificación de la ruta de un robot se inicia con la captura de información del entorno que lo rodea, junto con su orientación y coordenadas x/y […]; el paso a seguir es la percepción y control, donde se aplican filtros que depuran los datos obtenidos y eliminan posibles errores, y permiten conseguir una correcta predicción del movimiento. Entre los modelos de filtros a implementar se encuentra el filtro de Kalman, el cual se centra en el álgebra vectorial y consiste en una técnica recursiva que permite conseguir la trayectoria adecuada de un robot mediante predicción y corrección […] Sus bases teóricas se centran en la teoría de mínimos cuadrados, la teoría de probabilidad, los sistemas dinámicos, los sistemas estocásticos y el álgebra lineal […]; su aplicación se muestra en múltiples áreas, tales como la navegación, [...] los sistemas de información geográfica, el modelamiento y la manufactura, lo que señala la importancia de los estudios realizados en este método y en particular de su aplicación a la robótica móvil.

At the proposal of Haiti and some African countries, the General Conference of UNESCO approved at its 27th Session in 1993 the implementation of the "Slave Route" Project(Resolution 27 C/3. 13). The idea of a "Route" expresses the dynamics of the movement of peoples, civilizations and cultures, while that of "slave" addresses not only the universal phenomenon of slavery, but also in a more precise and explicit way the transatlantic slave trade in the Atlantic, and slave trade in the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean. The project has three major objectives : to break the silence surrounding the slave trade and slavery through the historical study of the causes and dynamics of the transatlantic slave trade; the clarification of the consequences and interactions resulting from the slave trade; to contribute to the establishment of a culture of tolerance and peaceful coexistence between races and peoples.

C'est une proposition de Haïti et des pays africains que la Conférence générale de l'UNESCO a approuvé lors de sa vingtième session en 1993, la mise en œuvre du projet «La route de l'esclave» (Résolution 27C/3.13). Si le concept de «route» exprime la dynamique du mouvement des peuples, des civilisations et des cultures, celui «d'esclave» s'adresse non pas au phénomène universel de l'esclavage mais, de manière précise et explicite, à la traite négrière transatlantique, dans l'Océan Indien et en Méditerranée. Le projet «La route de l'esclave» a un triple objectif : briser le silence en faisant connaître universellement la question de la traite négrière transatlantique et de l'esclavage, dans l'océan Indien et en Méditerranée, ses causes profondes, les faits historiques et les modalités d'exécution par des travaux scientifiques; mettre en lumière, de manière objective ses conséquences et, notamment les interactions entre tous les peuples concernés d'Europe, d'Afrique, des Amériques et des Caraïbes; enfin, contribuer à l'instauration d'une culture de la tolérance et de coexistence pacifique des peuples.

The Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Insular Coastal Dynamics-(ICoD) forms part of a network of specialised Centres pertaining to the Open Partial Agreement of the Council of Europe on Major Natural and Technological Hazards. While the majority of the specialised Centres belonging to the OPA specialise in dealing with geomorphological disasters, those based in Malta and Monaco address marine-related issues. ICoD was established in 1988 within the framework of the "Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Marine Contamination Hazards" where it initially addressed marine degradation in general; it has subsequently re-oriented its objectives and activities towards a greater focus on the interactive processes which occur at the coastal zone and in particular, of insular areas.
