Copyright ©2012 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc Welcome Message On behalf of the IEEE ROBIO 2012 Organizing Committee, we would like to extend a warm welcome to you all to the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics. ROBIO is a maturing and vibrant international conference running an- nually since 2004 and gaining increasing international prominence especially in areas of biomimicking and biological inspired robotics research. We are pleased to bring you to the 2012 edition as a forum that facilitates timely and productive academic and scientific exchanges among researchers in a wide range of research topics in robotics, biomimetics and beyond. A total 553 papers were submitted to this year's conference, from 39 countries and regions, with more than 55% from outside Mainland China. Members of the ROBIO Program Committee worked very hard to ensure a fair and careful review process, which is critical in order to maintain the high standard of this conference. After a thorough review process, 369 or about 66% of the submitted papers were accepted for oral presentation at ROBIO 2012. The technical program runs for three days on December 11, 12, and 13, in seven parallel tracks. We are fortunate to be able to anchor the technical program with four plenary talks by leading experts of in robotics and biomimetics: Profs. Kevin Warwick from United Kingdom, Zexiang Li from Hong Kong, China, Vijay Kumar from the United States, and Koh Hosoda from Japan. Known as Flower City with its pleasant and ever green weather throughout the year, Guangzhou, the host city of ROBIO 2012, is located some 120 km from Hong Kong. Being the third largest Chinese city with a population of 13 million and the host of 2010 Asian Games, Guangzhou plays a pivotal role in the rapid social and economic development of southern China and enjoys a modern transportation infrastructure. Through its social program, ROBIO 2012 allows its attendees to experience and enjoy the Chinese culture, highlighted by a night cruise along Pearl River which snakes through the city. ROBIO 2012 has been the collective effort of a number of sponsoring societies and organizations, and of our colleagues, friends and volunteers. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude for their help and contributions. The ROBIO conference series is one of the most popular and important events sponsored by IEEE Robotics and Automation Society. In addition, we would like to acknowledge our local sponsoring organization, South China University of Technology. Other members of the organizing committee dedicated a significant amount of their time to ensure this conference a success and, needless to say, we are deeply indebted for their assistance in all areas of the conference. Finally, thank all the authors for your support and participation in ROBIO 2012. This is your conference to be enjoyed and celebrated. We wish you a great conference and a pleasant stay in Guangzhou!

Many studies have used housing prices on the Internet real estate information platforms as data sources, but platforms difer in the nature and quality of the data they release. However, few studies have analysed these diferences or their efect on research. In this study, second-hand neighbourhood housing prices and information on fve online real estate information platforms in Guangzhou, China, were comparatively analysed and the performance of neighbourhoods’ raw information from four for-proft online real estate information platforms was evaluated by applying the same housing price model. Te comparison results show that the ofcial second-hand residential housing prices at city and district level are generally lower than those issued on four for- proft real estate websites.

  • A Survey on Foreign Tourists' English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, October 2019, Vol. 9, No. 10, 1056-1060 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2019.10.007 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Survey on Foreign Tourists’ English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images CHEN Ying-xi South China Business College Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, China Metaphor, constituting culture as well as inheriting one, is a way that human beings perceive the world. The study of cognitive metaphor theory in translation illustrates the process how the people construct psychological images from one culture to another, from one language to another. A survey on Chinese to English translation has been conducted among foreigners to see their intuitive understandings of some Guangdong tourism images. The results found out three different familiarity levels of these tourism images and the English translations from the viewpoint of the foreigners. Translation can be done without understanding the actual meanings, and understanding can occur without being able to translate. Keyword: foreign tourists, Guangdong tourism images, metaphor, translation Introduction In trans-cultural communication, understanding each other refers to understanding different cultures and their experiences. It is important to realize and respect the differences among backgrounds, cultures, values, and so on. We live in a world of metaphor. Metaphorical imagination is a crucial skill when creating tacit agreements and communicating non-shared experiences (Lakoff & Johnson, 2015, p. 202). Metaphor is a linguistic phenomenon, but more importantly, a thinking mode. When doing translations from one culture to another, the factor of cognition should be considered (Chen, 2019, pp. 26-27, 35). Cognitive Metaphor and Translation Metaphor translation converts the literal meanings from one language to another.

  • Le Logement Dans La Chine Urbaine Contemporaine : Un Lieu D’Analyse Stratégique Pour Les Pratiques De Consommation
    UNIVERSITE PARIS V – RENE DESCARTES UFR : Faculté des sciences humaines et sociales THESE Pour obtenir le grade de DOCTEUR DE L’UNIVERSITE PARIS V Discipline : Sociologie Présentée et soutenue publiquement le 19 janvier 2007 par Anne-Sophie BOISARD Le logement dans la Chine urbaine contemporaine : un lieu d’analyse stratégique pour les pratiques de consommation de la nouvelle classe moyenne cantonaise Directeur de thèse : Dominique DESJEUX Jury : Pierre-Nöel Denieuil (président du jury) Gilles Guiheux (rapporteur) Thierry Sanjuan (rapporteur) Rigas Arvanitis 1 RESUME en français : Il s’agit dans cette thèse de mener une étude qualitative détaillée des modes de vie des Cantonais de la classe moyenne au travers de leurs pratiques de consommation liées au logement (décoration, bricolage) et aux enfants (consommation de jouets). Par la conjonction de l’accession à la propriété et de l’augmentation du revenu familial, les Cantonais de la classe moyenne investissent une plus grande partie de leur revenu dans la consommation, que ce soit pour aménager, et décorer des logements plus spacieux, ou pour s’équiper en électroménager ou bien encore pour offrir à leurs enfants de nouvelles formes de loisirs. La problématique s’organise autour de trois grandes questions : Comment se matérialise le développement de l’économie de marché dans les pratiques de consommation des citadins chinois, notamment dans le cadre du logement et de l’espace domestique ? Quelles sont les conséquences de ce développement d’une société urbaine commerciale sur l’espace social et le lien social ? Les pratiques de consommation dans le contexte des réformes créent-elles de nouveaux espaces publics/semi-publics/privés, moins soumis au contrôle de l’Etat et laissant plus d’autonomie au consommateur, à défaut de laisser une certaine liberté au citoyen ? Nous postulons que la différenciation entre les nouvelles classes sociales chinoises ne s’exprime plus seulement dans les rapports de production, qui se sont complexifiés, mais aussi dans les comportements de consommation.
