Robotics creates the possibility of using robots to assist humans in several tasks, especially in hostile environments to humans. In order to cope with different types of environments, it is of great importance that robots are adaptable to the environment in which they operate. So, this study aimed is to develop a prototype of a humanoid robot by 3D printing as close as possible to the human being. The prototype will be used as the cradle of tests and thus will advance the most diverse techniques in robotics and artificial intelligence.

SUMMARYA robot working in a hostile environment should be equipped with the necessary risk-avoidance intelligence to survive and accomplish an assigned mission. Covert robotics is a relatively new field in which covert navigation abilities are developed for robots to carry out a mission with minimal potential observation from known or unknown vantage points, with occluding obstacles as the only means of maintaining covertness. The ability to ‘hide’ in order to minimize the risk of being detected is the focus of this paper. A number of strategies are presented that deal with various assumptions about the environment and the hostile observers' locations. The hiding strategies presented for different cases ensure choosing a proper hiding point while taking into account the risk of the chosen path to it.

This research paper conducts a thorough comparison of four prominent transmission technologies suitable for mobile robots operating in challenging environments. Emphasizing key factors such as signal strength, noise resistance, and data transfer efficiency, the study aims to identify the optimal communication solution in hostile conditions. The exploration delves into the intricacies of received signal strength indication (RSSI) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), revealing distinctive traits and trade-offs among the technologies. Navigating through the complexities of frequency bands, modulation types, and communication topologies, the paper examines the impact of obstacles, energy consumption dynamics, and potential real-world applications. Beyond contributing to the fields of robotics and communication, the study offers practical insights for stakeholders seeking resilient and efficient transmission methods for mobile robotic applications. Advocating for long range (LoRa) as the preferred transmission technology in hostile environments, the paper highlights its unmatched immunity to noise, stability, and minimal energy consumption. These findings provide valuable guidance for technology choices in collaborative mobile robot operations under challenging conditions. This research sets the stage for future developments in robotic communication, underscoring the crucial role of selecting the right transmission means for mission-critical applications in hostile environments.

SUMMARYRobotic vehicles have a wide field of applications in the civilian and military industry including manufacturing, assembly lines, security, operation in hostile environment, and testing. In the defense area, robotic vehicles have the potential for force multiplication and removing the soldier from hazardous environments on the battlefield. To make such vehicles avaialable requires research, development, testing and demonstration of advanced robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and systems. A realistic effort towards that objective requires the establishment of an advanced laboratory responsible for evaluation and development of subsystems and integration of the various elements into vehicles for field tests. Hence, requirements for the laboratory are given including a layout design and link analysis of the different components. As the first part of planning the laboratory, the technology was assessed to assure inclusion of the state-of-the-art equipment. Then, equipment requirements were defined, including interactions between pieces of equipment and providing for support, recording and monitoring equipment.

After the nuclear accidents of Chernobyl and Fukushima, several countries concerned with nuclear energy production set up robotic accident intervention groups with the aim to intervene in place of humans in hostile environments with high levels of contamination or irradiation. It is the case of France. The operational feedback of such robotic groups may be of interest for teams performing decommissioning on nuclear facilities. In this aim, a comparative analysis of robotic intervention contexts was undertaken between training contexts and a real operating situation. This allowed us to confirm determinants of performance already identified in the literature and highlighted new determinants of performance for intervention in nuclear environments.

Since the beginning of space exploration, ""space robots"" have attracted the imagination of many researchers and engineers, and a number of fascinating plans for their use have been proposed.' However, only a few of these ideas have been realized in spite of the early realization that robots would be more appropriate than extra-vehicular activities by a human crew in the hostile space environment. One application is the Space Shuttle Remote Manipulator System, called the ""Canadian Robot Arm"", which has been functioning as expected for more than 10 years. In addition, ROTEX experiments on Space Lab a few years ago demonstrated that advanced robotic technology could perform more complicated tasks on board. It is also reminded that many other robotic experiments were canceled at some stage of their development: In particular, it was hoped that NASA's Flight Telerobotic Servicer would be able to operate with the help of an Orbital Maneuvering Unit. There are complicated reasons for the project cancellations, but one reason seems to be that the maturity level of robotics technology is not high enough; that advanced teleoperation and dexterous manipulation have not reached a sufficient level for practical use. In Japan, most of the space research and development thus far has concentrated on the launching and in-flight operations of conventional spacecraft, so that there has been no real demand for space robots. Recently, however, the Space Activities Committee issued a report on the long term vision for space activities in Japan. In this report, the importance of the use of space robotics technologies for diversified space activities such as space platform servicing, unmanned exploration of Mars and the moon crew support inside the space station, telescience operations, and even for the reusable reentry vehicle HOPE was emphasized. This can be at least partially attributed to the very active research on robotics in Japan, and in turn has encouraged researchers working in these fields. This special issue on space robotics introduces the research activities as several representative organizations, although it does not imply an exhaustive list. Firstly, the activities of two space development organizations are introduced. The National Space Development Agency (NASDA) is responsible for launching and operation this as well as general technology verification. Included in this is the ETS-VII satellite, which as part of its overall mission, will conduct several robotic experiments. The robotic activities of the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) are also outlined. This institution is primarily concerned with scientific missions to the Moon and Mars as well as planets further beyond. Second, the research activities at the national institutes are introduced. These institutes are responsible for supporting national projects at an early stage of development by providing fundamental data and key technologies. This is followed by an introduction to the very extensive research activities at universities across the country. At these universities, space robotics research is pursued not only in aerospace engineering departments but also in other disciplines such as mechanical engineering, control systems, electronics, and information processing. As mentioned before, there are some organizations which do not appear in this special issue. Nonetheless, the coordinator hopes that in Japan, the information given will prove to be useful as in introduction to space robotics research activities in Japan, and further wishes to express his deepest appreciation to all of the contributors.

It is known that mobile robot applications have a preponderant role in industrial and social environments and, more specifically, helping human beings in carrying out difficult tasks in hostile environments. From teleoperated systems to autonomous robots, there is a wide variety of possibilities requiring a high technological level. Many concepts such as perception, manipulator design, grasping, dynamic control, etc. are involved in the field of industrial mobile robots. In this context, human–robot interaction is one of the most widely studied topics over the last few years together with computer vision techniques and virtual reality tools. In all these technical fields, a common goal is pursued, i.e., robots to come closer to human skills. In this paper, first some important research projects and contributions on mobile robots in industrial environments are overviewed. Second, a proposal for classification of mobile robot architectures is described. Third, results achieved in two specific application areas of mobile robotics are reported. The first is related to the tele-operation of a mobile robot called ROGER by means of a TCP/IP network. The control system of the robot is built up as a distributed system, using distributed object oriented software, CORBA compatible. The second is related to the teleoperation of an underwater robot called GARBI. (Research project co-ordinated with the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Prof. Josep Amat) and financed by the Spanish Government.) The utility of this kind of prototype is demonstrated in tasks such as welding applications in underwater environments, inspection of dammed walls, etc. Finally, an industrial project involving the use of intelligent autonomous robots is presented showing how the experience gained in robotics has been applied.

Interest in soft actuators has increased enormously in the last 10 years. Thanks to their compliance and flexibility, they are suitable to be employed to actuate devices that must safely interact with humans or delicate objects or to actuate bio-inspired robots able to move in hostile environments. This paper reviews the research on soft pneumatic actuators conducted in Italy, focusing on mechanical design, analytical modeling, and possible application. A classification based on the geometry is proposed, since a wide set of architectures and manufacturing solutions are available. This aspect is confirmed by the extent of scenarios in which researchers take advantage of such systems’ improved flexibility and functionality. Several applications regarding bio-robotics, bioengineering, wearable devices, and more are presented and discussed.

Le travail proposé dans le cadre de cette thèse s’inscrit dans l’amélioration de la qualité de production et des conditions de travail des sites sidérurgiques de Saint-Gobain PAM. Il a été proposé d’étudier et de développer un système robotique collaboratif capable d’assister un opérateur dans des tâches répétitives, pénibles et parfois dangereuse dans un environnement extrême de chaleur et de poussières. Récemment passé CMR, les poussières de silice cristallines représentent la plus grande problématique nécessitant d’étudier des solutions alternatives aux méthodes de production actuelles. Plus concrètement, le poste de travail de l’opérateur, qui est critique pour la qualité de production, nécessite une attention et un savoir-faire exigeant. Le travail de l’opérateur consiste à surveiller, nettoyer, revêtir, maintenir un organe de coulée de fonte d’une machine à centrifuger servant à la production de tuyau en fonte ductile. De nombreux mouvements réalisés par l’opérateur sont caractérisés comme rythmique et forme un cycle limite fermé dont on observe un comportement identique chez les oscillateurs dynamiques. L’objectif de cette thèse est donc d’étudier une solution alternative permettant de réduire l’exposition de l’opérateur. Le choix technologique c’est porté sur la téléopération d’un système robotique afin de reproduire les tâches à distance hors des zones d’expositions. Le contrôle de ces tâches rythmiques sera effectué par différentes modèles d’oscillateur et différents moyens de téléopération. Cette thèse aura également pour but d’étudier l’implémentation de deux oscillateurs dynamiques, ceux de Hopf et Rowat-Selverston couplé à trois différents dispositifs de téléopération. Grâce aux différents essais, nous avons observé l'impact d'un contrôle avec un oscillateur dynamique par rapport à un contrôle sans. On observe également l'impact que pourront avoir les différents dispositifs de téléopération dans les signaux de commande
The work proposed as part of this thesis is part of improving the production quality and working conditions of Saint-Gobain PAM steel sites. It was proposed to study and develop a collaborative robotic system capable of assisting an operator in repetitive, painful and sometimes dangerous tasks in an environment of extreme heat and dust. Recently passed CMR, crystalline silica dust represents the biggest problem requiring the study of alternative solutions to current production methods.More specifically, the operator's workstation, which is critical for the quality of production, requires demanding attention and know-how. The operator's job is to monitor, clean, coat, maintain a cast iron casting member of a centrifuge machine used in the production of ductile iron pipe. Many movements made by the operator are characterized as rhythmic and form a closed limit cycle, the same behavior of which is observed in dynamic oscillators.The objective of this thesis is therefore to study an alternative solution to reduce operator exposure. The technological choice fell on the remote operation of a robotic system in order to reproduce the tasks remotely outside the exhibition areas. The control of these rhythmic tasks will be carried out by different models of oscillator and different means of teleoperation. This thesis will also aim to study the implementation of two dynamic oscillators, those of Hopf and Rowat-Selverston coupled to three different teleoperation devices.Thanks to the various tests, we observed the impact of a control with a dynamic oscillator compared to a control without. We can also observe the impact that the various remote operation devices may have on the control signals

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a testing environment for mobile robot experiments, to examine methods for multi-robot platooning through hostile environments, and test these algorithms on mobile robots. Such a system will allow us to rapidly address and test problems that arise concerning robot swarms and consequent interactions. In order to create this hardware simulation environment a test bed will be created using ROS or Robot Operating System. This platform is highly modular and extensible for future development. Trajectory generation for the robots will use smoothing splines, B-splines, and A* search. Each method has distinct properties which will be analyzed and rated with respect to its effectiveness with regards to robotic platooning. A few issues to be considered include: Is the optimal path taken with respect to distance and threats? Is the formation of the robots maintained or compromised during traversal of the path? And finally, what sorts of compromises or additions are needed to make each method effective? This work will be helpful for choosing route planning methods in future work and will provide a large code base for rapid prototyping.

O propósito da Visão Computacional consiste em permitir que um robô entenda o ambiente em que se situa a partir de informações visuais. O mundo no qual robôs se movem é tridimensional e dinâmico. Ele se altera em função do próprio movimento do robô e do movimento dos demais objetos. A presente dissertação descreve a implementação de sistema robótico autômato, que utiliza visão para alcançar objetivos predeterminados. Consiste, essencialmente, em um robô que carrega consigo uma câmera de vídeo. Esta câmera transmite as imagens capturadas, por rádio, para um microcomputador à distancia. Este microcomputador processa a imagem e retorna ao robô (também por rádio) os comandos referentes a que trajetória deve ser seguida. Este processo ocorre sucessivamente até alcançar-se o objetivo pré-determinado. A característica multidisciplinar do presente projeto de pesquisa reúne três áreas distintas do conhecimento, sendo elas, mecânica, eletrônica (linear e digital) e processamento digital de imagens. Descreve-se a implementação de cada área isoladamente e de que forma são integradas a fim de formar um sistema único.
The aim of Computer Vision is to allow a robot to understand the surrounding environment, with acquired visual information as input. The environment in which the robot moves is three-dimensional and dynamic and modifies as a function of its own movement of surrounding objects. The presente dissertation describes an automaton robotic system which makes use of computer vision to achieve some predetermined goals. Essentially, it consists of a robot that carries a video camera. The camera transmits radio captured images to a remote micromputer. In turn, the microcomputer processes the image and sends the commands back to the robot, by radio, to indicate the path that should be followed. This process is repeated until the predetermined goal has been achieved. This multi-disciplinary project tackles three different research areas, mechanics, eletronics (linear and digital) and image processing. Each parte of the project is thouroughly described as is also the integration of ecah to form a sole system.

The recent sheer developments in the field of robotics has encouraged the researcher to consider the robots assisting human in different aspects of life. In this context, search and rescue is a very interesting ambient where the capabilities offered by the robots can be used to not only augment the quality of service but also impose lower risk to the human members of the rescue team. To this purpose, project SHERPA has been defined to investigate an intelligent heterogeneous robotic team in a search and rescue mission. The robotic team includes flying robots such as fixed wing and quad copters for the purpose of patrolling and surveillance and a ground rover that is mainly considered to provide a mobile power replenishment service for the quadrotors. Navigation of the ground rover on the unstructured outdoor environment defined by the SHERPA is of the main focuses of this thesis. Due to roughness of the terrain, there are a lot of issues on the way of a successful localization. Moreover, the planning has to be compatible with the robot and environment constraints to avoid imposing a risk of mechanical damage to the system. To accomplish the battery exchange operation, the rover is equipped with two auxiliary devices namely "Sherpa box" and "Sherpa robotic arm". In this thesis, firstly, designs of the two devices are introduced to the reader in details. Secondly, their integration with the ground rover will be covered. Finally two important benchmarks of the SHERPA project, namely "human leashing" and "battery exchange operation", will be addressed.

This study examines the problem of operationally defining "hostile environment" sexual harassment, ruled a type of disparate treatment actionable under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act by the United States Supreme Court on June 19, 1986. Although the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission defines a hostile environment as an "intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment," there is no consensus as to what is "offensive" behavior. An extensive review of the literature yielded various attempts to define and ascertain the magnitude of sexual harassment, but the fact that the actual percentages varied indicates that this is a difficult issue to measure. As perception by the victim is the key, this study surveyed 125 working women from all over the United States to determine their perceptions of behaviors that constitute sexual harassment. Discriminant analysis was then used to correctly classify 95% of the women according to their perceptions of having experienced sexual harassment. Using tests for proportions, three hypotheses were found significant. Women who have been sexually harassed are more likely to view sexual harassment as a major problem. Older men are more likely to have their behavior perceived as sexual harassment. In addition, women who have experienced acts such as staring, flirting, or touching in the workplace are more likely to perceive those acts as sexual harassment. The hypotheses deemed not statistically significant yielded interesting results. Younger women are not more likely to be harassed than older women. Neither are single or divorced women more likely to experience sexual harassment. All women, regardless of age, marital status, or geographic location, are vulnerable to sexual harassment. Of importance are which variables contributed the most to the women's perceptions of sexual harassment. None of the demographic variables was found significant, but the women perceived that they had been sexually harassed if sexual remarks, touching, sexual propositions, or staring were directed toward them in the workplace. Thus, these acts were perceived as constituting a hostile environment.

The comunidades agricolas of Chile's Norte Chico are unique entities/systems of indivisible communal land, inherited land use rights, democratic decision-making, and diverse economic strategies that are closely linked to changing environmental conditions. Families reproduce their livelihood in this semi-arid region where drought is chronic and poverty is widespread through a combination of pastoralism, dry land farming, and temporary labor migration. Because this research is based on fieldwork that spanned three years of extreme climate change, the reader is presented with an opportunity to observe a full range of flexible risk management strategies and co-operative mutual assistance that these people make use of at both the family and community level. One particular family's story is given as illustration of the extraordinary resiliency that these communities have shown despite the harsh ecological and, at times, social and political environment in which they are situated. Although government attention to the problems that the comunidades, face has increased during Chile's transition to democracy over the past decade, one of the goals of this dissertation is to bring to light the specifics of their cultural livelihood so that economic development programs that limit their options and conflict with community ideals and practices can be avoided. The material presented here will also address questions concerning the persistence of peasant culture in Latin America in general.

The intention of this paper is to analyze the impact of a threat environment in the creation of a hi-tech cluster through the development of an independent defense industry. In order to conclude the implications of a military industry in the development of a hi-tech cluster, it was studied the case of the evolution of Israel’s defense industry into a diverse hi – tech industry (Silicon Wadi). This work emerges from a personal concern in order to understand if there are some benefits or positive side effects in developing an indigenous military industry. Coming from a country in the developing process that has no military forces (Costa Rica) and at the same time has been struggling to create a hi-tech cluster, I wanted to learn what are the implications in the hi-tech sector for lacking an indigenous defense industry and a threat environment. As it will be presented in this study, the major implication of having an independent defense industry is that it creates a path dependency in the military sector and if it’s handled correctly through the cooperation between academia, military forces and business sectors it will be possible to create transitions of this technologies into civilian applications, diversifying the entrance of resources and creating an entrepreneur environment.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Guidelines on Sexual Harassment identify six factors that are relevant in determinations of sexual harassment. This study attempted to determine if three of these factors (i.e., frequency of harassment, number of victims and number of perpetrators) drive perceptions of what constitutes sexual harassment. Participants role-playing jurors on an hostile environment sexual harassment case demonstrated no differences in perceptions as a function of number of victims or number of perpetrators. The significant effect for frequency of harassment was not in the hypothesized direction, with less frequent harassment being perceived as more likely to constitute sexual harassment. The well-documented gender difference in perceptions of sexual harassment was observed in this study. However, analyses indicated that women are more likely to perceive a situation as sexually harassing because they are more feminine, not simply because of their gender.

AbstractIn addition to areas of application in people’s everyday lives and the area of education and services, robots are primarily envisioned in non-immediate living environments by the society—i.e., in inaccessible or even hostile environments to humans. The results of this population survey clearly demonstrate that such application options come across with a high level of acceptance and application potential among the population. Nevertheless, it is expected that the underlying AI in such systems works reliably and that safety for humans is guaranteed.In this chapter, the results of the study are compared with state-of-the-art systems from classical application environments for robots, like the deep-sea and space. Here, systems have to interact with their environment to a large extent on their own over longer periods of time. Although typically the designs are such that humans are able to intervene in specific situations and so external decisions are possible, the requirements for autonomy are also extremely high. From this perspective one can easily derive what kind of requirements are also necessary, and what challenges are still in front of us, when robots should be acting largely autonomous in our everyday life.

Abstract The objective of this paper is to present results from extensive testing of fully robotic drilling and pipe handling operations in the drilling industry, including several robots and tests on both land and offshore. Throughout the last eight years, all-electric, heavy-duty drilling and pipe handling robots of up to seven tons capacity have been tested and piloted on dedicated test facilities, land rigs and offshore rigs. The robotic equipment includes drill floor robot, pipe handler robot, robotic roughneck and pipe deck robot with the purpose of removing the people from the drill floor, derrick and the pipe deck. The testing and qualification have been conducted in phases and in a cooperation between equipment manufacturer, rig contractors and operating companies. The industry has great expectations with the introduction of robotics for red zone management and eliminating all manual operations and human exposure to heavy machinery. Expected value would be a substantial saving in rig days due to fast, precise and consistent operations and removal of people out of harm's way. In addition to improved safety, reduced OPEX, less downtime and faster installation, the robotics systems lower the noise and the carbon footprint due to higher energy efficiency and less GHG emissions. Also, the precise motion control of robots enables digitalization of the drilling process. The testing of robots in drilling applications has been done with the purpose of testing and qualifying the technology, as well as gaining experience with performance, reliability, maintainability, safety, and value to the users. This paper presents performance data from robot operations including both single robots and full system operations, such as tripping and stand-building. Reliability of electric robots in hostile environment is analyzed with regards to field experience from land rig drilling and offshore operations. Finally, the value to the users is substantiated. The paper provides unique results and experience from the longest and broadest tests of heavy-duty all-electric robots in the drilling environment. It therefore provides valuable input for decisions of future use of industrialized robots in the oil and gas upstream industry.

Abstract Exploration and exploitation of deep space and the deep oceans has powered much technological progress. With their extreme operating environments, these two remote and hostile domains have posed many challenges and has produced many solutions. The study of each of these extreme environments has significantly enhanced our understanding of the other, and the technologies that enable prospecting and extracting resources in one environment can often be adapted for use in the other. For both deep space and deep ocean, there is much to be learned from other sectors such as the medical industry as well. For example, medical imaging technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scans resemble the non-destructive testing techniques used in space and deepwater energy business. Similarly, robotic surgery is analogous to Mars Rovers and remotely operated vehicles used under water, and remote patient monitoring for more personalized and effective healthcare is comparable to the data analytics and machine learning used for proactive health monitoring in deep space and deep ocean. Digital transformation has been impacting all industries, and deep space and deep ocean are no exception. Digital transformation has three primary foundations: data-digital information; analytics-using the data to make better decisions, faster; and connectivity-data exchange between humans, machines, and devices. Various technologies enable and cut across these domains including sensors, cloud computing, edge analytics, automation and robotics, 3D printing, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence all underlain and enabled by accessible, affordable, and reliable energy. The objective of this paper is to explore the potential of such technologies at intersections between deep space and deep ocean. It will also document how the deep space and deep oceans hey have learned from each and have also leveraged advances in other sectors, principally medical and healthcare.

Abstract The objective of this paper is to present a new and innovative fully automated tubular handling robot that can feed drill pipe and casing from pipe storage on ground to the well center of a land drilling rig in a fast, accurate and all-in-one operation. In recent years, experience has been gained with large electric robots for pipe handling both offshore and onshore. As reliability is confirmed, the robotic operations on rigs are expanded. The most recent development is a Pipe Feeder Robot for handling of pipe and subs all the way from pipe storage on the ground to the well center of the land rig, including spinning into the stick-up. The technology is based on qualified heavy-duty electric robots for pipe handling, but the new machine is configured in a way so that it can be transported from rig to rig without large interfacing work. The industry has great expectations with the introduction of robotics for red zone management and eliminating manual operations and human exposure to heavy machinery. Expected value would be a substantial saving in rig days due to fast, precise and consistent operations and removal of people out of harm's way. In addition to improved safety, reduced OPEX, less downtime and faster installation, the Pipe Feeder Robot lowers the noise and the carbon footprint due to higher energy efficiency and less GHG emissions. Also, the precise motion control of the robot enables digitalization of the drilling process. The paper will present performance data and results from test operations. The Pipe Feeder Robot picks up pipe (or casing), rotates from horizontal to vertical, and spins into the stick up in one operation, whereby hazardous handovers are avoided and a hands-free handling operation is created, replacing the work of four conventional operations. Reliability of robots in hostile environment will be analyzed with regards to field experience of similar technology from land rig drilling operations. Finally, the value to the users will be substantiated. The paper will provide test results and experience from the tests of a heavy-duty all-electric Pipe Feeder Robot. It will provide valuable input for decisions for the future use of industrialized robots in the oil and gas upstream industry.

Abstract Oil well production rate should be maintained during its lifecycle and maintenance interventions are necessary to reach this goal. Production engineer teams work on different ways to make the production stable and to enhance the oil recovery from the reservoirs. However, interventions are necessary to maintain or recover the production rate. Some problems that cause maintenance are malfunctioning/wear of equipment, clogging/obstruction and operational mistakes. These maintenances are required using expensive equipment, especially on offshore operations. In order to reduce the overall cost of interventions, robotic systems have been proposed. In this work, a conceptual development for a robotic production column well intervention system is proposed. This equipment should be strong enough to resist oil well environmental characteristics. Nowadays, the challenge involves high pressure and high temperature wells, high flow rates, a long/deep well and other very hostile features. Even though, this device has to be very slim and lightweight because it will be responsible for carrying on other systems (measurement / inspection tools, completion tools, etc.) displacing into the oil well production column. On the other hand, it needs to have highly efficient power consumption since the power availability is usually limited in the actuation environment of this autonomous equipment. In order to guarantee the achievement of the desirable requirements, the design team followed the best practices of the product development process aided by a design for lifecycle guidelines.

A survey conducted in the United States estimates that people spend about 90% of their time inside buildings, mainly distributing activities in their homes and workplaces [1].The same lifestyle of being confined most of the time within enclosed spaces is also prevalent in Europe. This habit provides the opportunity and the right motivation to implement interventions that promote health and livability of the environments in which people live or work. In multiple fields of design discipline, this is translated into a focus on the development of quality indoor spaces that return comfortable environments for the inhabitants to organize, manage and modulate based on their needs and habits.The World Health Organization defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being" [2]. Thus, inhabitant well-being can be measured not only in the satisfaction of basic human needs related to an individual's physical health, but also in all those intangible aspects related to the psycho-social sphere, such as perceived feelings of security, self-esteem, positivity, mood, and productivity [3].New design paradigms for a "healthy building" evaluate a multiplicity of factors that contribute to the determination of living comfort and the resulting qualitative perception of the inhabited space. These include the issue of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) management. The "inhabitants" of an enclosed space usually turn out to be exposed not to a single agent, but to a mixture of substances that is generated by the concurrence of several triggers that combine into a potentially harmful mix for the occupants [4].Symptoms resulting from the effects of indoor pollution that are grouped under the acronym of BRI - Building-Related Illness - include specific pathological cases. In this regard the multiple studies on SBS - Sick Building Syndrome - are just one of the many concrete examples of the impact caused by a failure or fallacious management of the issue of indoor pollution [5].The evolving Coronavirus pandemic scenario has revolutionized people's habits, stimulating them to reflect on their condition as "inhabitants" forced to occupy enclosed spaces, suffering its negative influence. This reflection has been echoed by a strong awareness of aspects concerning indoor air quality highlighted also by the exponential increase in the market for air treatment devices. The growing attention to indoor air quality is part of the broader changement underway concerning the people's increasing sensitivity to issues relating to the care of their psycho-physical health in all its facets, from simply reducing risk factors to preventing aging.The paper presents a research project, titled APLU, which led to the development of an ion-generating robot that also has the function of a vacuum cleaner. A careful analysis of the state of the art in air purification devices revealed the lack of a holistic approach in the design of these products, whose function is often reduced to a mere assembly of components with embedded digital technologies. The main limitation that emerged is that the devices currently on the market are designed to be fixed, which entails limited coverage of the indoor space, as well as difficulty in interfacing and controlling by users, especially by elders.In this context, APLU aims to increase the usability of a purifier, in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction, and to create an inclusive interface, through the integration of advanced technologies, related to the field of robotics and Internet of Things. The final result of the research through design is a robot able to move autonomously within the home, going to cover in its purification activity the entire space of the house based on its sensing capabilities.The transition from a static device to an independent robot in the management of its functions also meets the need to interface with the most fragile categories of users, who are more exposed to the dangers of pollutants. The research project therefore intends to: i) test and validate the possibility of minimizing the user's burden of managing the product; ii) increase its efficiency by equipping it with autonomous intelligence; iii) facilitate the interaction with the device by providing inclusive support and monitoring tools capable of relieving the work of users, especially the elderly; iv) test the acceptability by the elderly, often hostile to advanced technological solutions.

This report examines the problems of theft, nonpayment and political opportunism in the aftermath of privatization by considering the recent experiences of four private utilities in Latin America that operate in water and sanitation, and electricity supply. The basis for the analysis that follows is primarily the information supplied by participants in two workshops held at the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, D.C., on September 9th and November 19th, 2004. The first workshop dealt with theft and nonpayment, and the second addressed political opportunism. In addition, participants at each workshop discussed the experiences of two utilities, one in electricity and one in water, with the intention of extracting common lessons applicable to different types of network utilities rather than specific to a single sector. The workshops provided the opportunity for utility managers and IDB staff to present their experiences. The second workshop also included regulators.

In this article considered Journalistic and editorial activity of Volodymyr Lenika (14.06.1922–02.11.2005) – one of the leading figures of Ukrainian emigration in Germany. First outlined basic landmarks of his life and creation. Journalistic and editorial activity of Volodymyr Lenik was during to forty years out of Ukraine. In the conditions of emigration politically zaangazhovani Ukrainians counted on temporality of the stay abroad and prepared to transference of the created charts and instituciy on native lands. It was or by not main part of conception of liberation revolution of elaborate OUN under the direction of Stepan Banderi, and successfully incarnated in post-war years. Volodymyr Lenik, executing responsible commissions Organization, proved on a few directions of activity, which were organically combined with his journalistic and editorial work. As an editor he was promotorom of creation and realization of models of magazines «Avangard», «Krylati», «Znannia», «Freie Presse Korespondenz», newspapers «Shliakh peremogy». As a journalist Volodymyr Lenik left ponderable work, considerable part of which entered in two-volume edition «Ukrainians on strange land, or reporting, from long journeys». Subject of him newspaper-magazine publications directed on illumination of school, youth, student, cultural, scientific problems, organization and activity of emigrant structures, political fight of emigration, to dethronement of the antiukrainskikh Moscow diversions and provocations. Such variety of problematic of works of V. Lenika was directed in the river-bed of retaining of revolutionary temperament in the environment of diaspore, to bringing in of it to activity in public and political life. Problematic of him is systematized publicism and journalistic appearances, which was inferior realization of a few important tasks, namely to the fight for Ukrainian independence in new terms, cherishing and maintainance of national identity, counteraction hostile soviet propaganda. On an example headed Volodymyr Lenikom a magazine «Knowledge» some aspects are exposed him editorial trade.

This paper examines how social exclusion contributes to violence in communities throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Residents in socially excluded communities cannot depend on those institutions designed to protect them, and violence becomes an instrument to achieve certain outcomes, such as justice, security, and economic gain. When conventional methods of obtaining and working for increased social status, higher income, and wider influence are limited, as they often are in marginalized areas, some feel compelled to resort to violent acts. This paper discusses how social exclusion and violence interact in a vicious circle that leaves the socially excluded in a very hostile social environment where the borders between legal and illegal, legitimate and illegitimate are often fuzzy and uncertain. In this environment violence is used by a minority to acquire justice, security, authority and economic gain. The use of violence by this minority, however, affect the lives of the majority of excluded people that do not resort to violence. As youths are particularly vulnerable to this issue, this paper also examines the relationship between violence and the plight of Latin American youth gangs and street children.
