Space telerobotics is an inherently complex task, requiring mental visualization skills, fine motor visualization skills, fine motor control, and adhering to procedure and flight rules. Often space telerobotics is accomplished only using video views of the work area, so the robotic arm operator must interpret two dimensional images to create a 3D [three-dimensional] mental model of the environment and their position inside it, all the while being aware of arm kinematics and limitations, avoiding collisions, and following procedural flight rules. To add to the workload, they also control the arm in six degrees of freedom, using separate rotational and translational hand controls, where the movement axes are frequently not aligned with camera views (e.g., the operator views the scene backwards or upside down). 1, record 1, English, - space%20telerobotics

Telerrobótica espacial. Vistas las ventajas de los sistemas de teleoperación espaciales y el gran éxito del brazo del transbordador, en el año 1985, la NASA se planteó seriamente potenciar sus actividades de robótica y automatización para la exploración planetaria y la construcción de la futura estación espacial en fase de diseño. Resultado de estos estudios fue el inicio de diversos proyectos muy ambiciosos encaminados a la obtención de sistemas robóticos espaciales totalmente autónomos […] El [satélite japonés] ETS-VII constituyó un hito fundamental en la historia de la robótica espacial. Estuvo durante dos años en órbita realizando multitud de experimentos de teleoperación y telerrobótica espacial. 1, record 1, Spanish, - telerrob%C3%B3tica%20espacial

Originally associative networks were specifically knowledge representation formalisms and so did not necessarily contain natural language terms. Semantic networks, on the other hand, were originally seen as primarily representations of the meaning of natural language texts. Later this distinction became blurred and "associative network" has become synonymous with "semantic network." 6, record 2, English, - semantic%20network

The Special Program of Assistance for Africa (SPA) was established in 1987 as a response to the economic crises of the debt-distressed countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. An informal association of donors, the SPA was intended to support the countries structural adjustment programs with the International Development Association and the International Monetary Fund. The SPA did respond to the challenge. Free of the restrictive formality of other fora, donors were able to test ideas and develop a mutual understanding. High-level donor representation provided the opportunity for meaningful interactions with World Bank and IMF policy makers. The SPA helped to channel substantial quick-disbursing aid. Through peer pressure, it improved donor procedures. It broadened its agenda to address structural impediments to broad-based development. It provided a platform for frank and open exchanges on Africa's economic and social policy issues. It facilitated a convergence of development assistance goals and practices while preserving flexibility. 1, record 4, English, - Special%20Program%20of%20Assistance%20for%20Africa

Le Programme spécial d’assistance à l'Afrique(PSA) a été lancé en 1987 en réaction à la crise économique qui sévissait dans les pays lourdement endettés d’Afrique subsaharienne. Association informelle de donateurs, il visait à soutenir les programmes d’ajustement structurel de ces pays conjointement avec l'Association internationale de développement et le Fonds monétaire international. Le PSA a relevé le défi. Exempt du formalisme contraignant des autres instances, il a permis de tester des idées nouvelles et de développer la compréhension mutuelle entre les donateurs. Grâce à une représentation de haut niveau, ceux-ci ont pu avoir des échanges constructifs avec les responsables de la Banque mondiale et du FMI. Le PSA a permis d’acheminer une aide à décaissement rapide importante. Sous la pression des pairs, les donateurs ont amélioré leurs procédures. Le programme d’action a été élargi pour tenter de résoudre les problèmes structurels qui font obstacle au développement général. Le PSA a servi de base à des échanges francs et ouverts sur les questions économiques et sociales qui se posent en Afrique. Il a favorisé la convergence des buts et des pratiques en matière d’aide au développement tout en préservant la flexibilité. 1, record 4, French, - Programme%20sp%C3%A9cial%20d%26rsquo%3Bassistance%20%C3%A0%20l%26rsquo%3BAfrique
