Invited talk held at the IEEE conference Hummanoids'06 in Genoa, Italy about Microsoft's recently released preview of the Microsoft Robotics Studio. Including a scalable runtime architecture supporting 8-bit up to 32-bit technologies with multi-core processors, the system provides access to simple touch sensors up to complex laser range finders. A 3D visual simulation environment and open architecture allows easy integration and simulation of newly constructed hardware platforms. While a wide variety of commercial and academic robots are already integrated within the Robotics Studio, there is a lack of humanoid platforms, yet. In this talk we will discuss the design of the software platform and the requirements to be met to integrate humanoid robots in the future.
Early peek of the upcoming features in Windows 8, the benefits as well as possible consequences for desktop development. This presentation is part one of three, focusing especially on new features of Windows 8.
Mangroves, or hutan bakau in Indonesian, are forests that grow in coastal saline waters. They play an important role in protecting coastlines from erosion and storms. Mangroves also serve as a natural habitat and breeding ground for many marine species.
Foederiertes Geraete- und Dienstmanagement mit Web-TechnologienAndreas Heil
Introduction to federated device and service management using Web technologies. The talk introduces into an research approach how to design and develop complex service infrastructures including real world devices towards an internet of things.
This document discusses Microsoft's work on developing a robotics software platform called Microsoft Robotics Studio. The platform aims to reduce complexity in robotics development by extending the PC and web ecosystem to robotics. It provides tools for authoring robotics applications across various hardware devices and platforms. Microsoft envisions this platform enabling a wide range of robotics applications from research to hobbyist to commercial use. The talk outlines Microsoft's vision and the key aspects of the Robotics Studio platform, including its concurrency model, services architecture, and development tools.

Introducing a simple way of programing robots, hardware in general and various approaches developed by Microsoft Research Cambridge. The talk was held at the MSRC Christmas Lecture 2005.
1. The document summarizes a presentation about robotics given by Andreas Heil on December 11, 2006.
2. It discusses definitions of robots, current and potential applications of robotics in areas like healthcare, entertainment and education.
3. It also covers challenges for robotics like costs, cultural acceptance, learning vs imitation behaviors, and ensuring robots can be safely integrated into everyday life.
Anwendungsentwicklung fuer Intelligente Umgebungen im Web EngineeringAndreas Heil
Presentation of the WebComposition supporting system for intelligent environments and distributed systems. Introduction to the core elements, the seven principles, the tools, methods and approaches of the WebComposition process model for Web-based systems.
Public lecture at Microsoft Research about the convergence of robots and artificial intelligence. This talk presented the development and how to approach generic software architectures for robots.
This document provides an agenda for training on hosting meetings using Adobe Connect. It covers topics like enabling audio/video, screensharing, using pods for Q&A, troubleshooting audio and video issues, using extensions like TwitterConnect, uploading files, playing videos and audio, using the mobile app, reviewing reports, setting preferences, user access rights, recording meetings, and ending a meeting. The training is intended to teach presenters and moderators how to effectively use Adobe Connect's features.
TechSoup for Public Libraries: Donated Software and More! TechSoup

Programming robots using visualisation, concurrency and coordination, using the Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio and the Visual Robotic Development Kit prototype held for the British Computer Society (BCS) in Cambridge, UK in 2006.
Architecture and Permacuture: More in common than you may think...Matthew Lynch
The document discusses the topics of architecture, permaculture, and their underlying philosophies. It describes how architecture studies develop skills to solve complex design problems, and how permaculture studies allow for creating sustainable human environments by working with nature. The core principles of both fields are also outlined, such as designing structures to be solid, useful and beautiful for architecture, and caring for the earth, people and sharing resources for permaculture.
Ole marius smestad - REST & PHP API : how to turn eZ Publish into a multi-cha...eZ Publish Community
The document summarizes a presentation about developing REST APIs for eZ Publish. It discusses developing PHP APIs that are simple, consistent and predictable. It also covers the development of a REST API as a core feature for eZ Publish, with HTTP as the carrier and a dedicated front controller. The presentation outlines the initial 1.0 release of the REST API, which will focus on infrastructure and making content accessible, though it won't support full CRUD for built-in content resources until the PHP API is expanded.

This document provides instructions for properly using safety belts in a vehicle. It describes lap and shoulder belts, how to fasten and unfasten them, and adjusting the height of shoulder belts. Dual locking mode lap/shoulder belts are explained. The use of lap belts and safety belt extensions is also covered. Throughout, it emphasizes the importance of wearing safety belts correctly to minimize injury in the event of a collision.
The document summarizes the last stages of the siege of Tenochtitlan from three different accounts. According to Cortés' account, the Spanish built a faulty catapult and saw starving women and children. They took a large Mexican quarter after fierce battle, killing over 12,000 Mexicans while their allies killed all prisoners. Díaz's account says the catapult failed and angered Cortés, who then used brigantines to capture the Mexican leader Cuatemoc. The native account says the catapult was meant to kill stealthily and the Spanish became fearful when they saw brave Mexica warriors.
