Chapter 24 FOOD AS COMMONS
This book was motivated by the need to approach with a fresh look what we regard as perhaps the most embarrassing predicament of the Anthropocene/Capitalocene (Capra and Mattei, 2015, Altvater et al., 2016, Moore, 2017). We live in an era with roughly the same number (about one billion) of over-fed people and of people lacking access to nutritious food (which means that do not know in the morni…

Biologically Inspired Robotics
Robotic engineering inspired by biology—biomimetics—has many potential applications: robot snakes can be used for rescue operations in disasters, snake-like endoscopes can be used in medical diagnosis, and artificial muscles can replace damaged muscles to recover the motor functions of human limbs. Conversely, the application of robotics technology to our understanding of biological systems…

The 3rd AAU Workshop on Robotics
Research and application development activities in robotics are rapidly growing at Aalborg University (AAU). This is witnessed by high-impact publications and robotic systems such as Geminoid.DK, LittleHelper, AAUBot, iSocioBot, to name a few. We anticipate that robotics, and especially robotics concerned with collaborative interaction between humans and robots to achieve common goals, will b…
