After Race pushes us beyond the old "race vs. class" debates to delve deeper into the structural conditions that spawn racism. Darder and Torres place the study of racism forthrightly within the context of contemporary capitalism. While agreeing with those who have argued that the concept of "race" does not have biological validity, they go further to insist that the concept also holds little p…

Advances in Industrial Robotics and Intelligent Systems
The motion of nonholonomic mobile manipulators (NMMs) is inherently constrained by joint limits, joint velocity limits, self-collisions and singularities. Most motion planning algorithms consider some of the aforementioned constraints, however, a unified framework to deal with all of them is lacking
