Preface ላሌ It is a truism that collaboration is the key to success. In the case of this vol- ume, collaboration between scholars from diff erent countries and disciplines was the key to success. Everything began with a chance encounter between a historian of science and a sociologist of science, who soon discovered their common interest in conceptual approaches to science policy. This set the scene for a fruitful interdisciplinary collaboration between the two of us. We both had studied historical science policy discourses in Germany and the United States. Analyzing these two countries suggested that the concepts of basic and applied research played a key role in shaping science policy. In order to explore the global synchronization of this distinction on the one hand, and the cultural variation of science policy discourses on the other hand, we de- cided to bring together scholars with expertise in the history of science policy in other countries who could widen our perspective. We presented and discussed our project on several occasions and received invaluable feedback. We would like to thank Benoît Godin, Graeme Gooday, Lea Haller, Alexei Kojevnikov, John Krige, Dominique Pestre, Roger Pielke, Jr., Steven Shapin, and Rudolf Stichweh for discussing shifting notions of basic and applied research with us. Moreover, this volume benefi ted from the joint refl ections within CASTI, an international network of scholars inter- ested in “Conceptual Approaches to Science, Technology and Innovation” (www.casti.org). Together we have elaborated a common research program on the semantic fi eld of science, technology, and innovation. We would thus like to extend our gratitude to all members of the network for being such a stimulating group of scholars and such a likeable bunch of friends. Many others have contributed to the publication of this volume. We are in- debted to Jason Chumtong for excellent editorial and technical assistance. At various stages, the project benefi ted from the support of Ivonne Weyers, Dee- pal Doshi, Silke Engels, and Lars Fritzsche. We are also grateful for the valu- able comments and suggestions of the two anonymous referees. Our special thanks go out to Willibald Steinmetz and Michael Freeden, who showed great interest in our studies of science, technology, and innovation as an emerging This open access library edition is supported by the University of Bonn.

Armed with artificial intelligence, laser-guided vision, GPS navigation, and 3-D mapping systems, the contenders are some of the world's most advanced robots. Yet even their formidable technology and mechanical prowess may not be enough to overcome the grueling 130-mile course through Nevada's desert terrain. From concept to construction to the final competition, "The Great Robot Race" delivers the absorbing inside story of clever engineers and their unyielding drive to create a champion, capturing the only aerial footage that exists of the Grand Challenge.

Wagner Dr. Phanindra Tallapragada Abstract In the last few years. while a lot of research efforthas been spent on autonomous vehicle navigation, primarily focused on on-road vehicles, off-road path planning still presents new challenges. Path planning for an autonomous ground vehicle over a large horizon in an unstructured environment when high-resolution a-priori information is available, is still very much an open problem due to the computations involved. Local- ization and control of an autonomous vehicle and how the control algorithms interact with the path planner is a complex task.

  • Passenger Response to Driving Style in an Autonomous Vehicle
    Passenger Response to Driving Style in an Autonomous Vehicle by Nicole Belinda Dillen A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Mathematics in Computer Science Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2019 c Nicole Dillen 2019 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Despite rapid advancements in automated driving systems (ADS), current HMI research tends to focus more on the safety driver in lower level vehicles. That said, the future of automated driving lies in higher level systems that do not always require a safety driver to be present. However, passengers might not fully trust the capability of the ADS in the absence of a safety driver. Furthermore, while an ADS might have a specific set of parameters for its driving profile, passengers might have different driving preferences, some more defensive than others. Taking these preferences into consideration is, therefore, an important issue which can only be accomplished by understanding what makes a passenger uncomfortable or anxious. In order to tackle this issue, we ran a human study in a real-world autonomous vehicle. Various driving profile parameters were manipulated and tested in a scenario consisting of four different events. Physiological measurements were also collected along with self- report scores, and the combined data was analyzed using Linear Mixed-Effects Models. The magnitude of a response was found to be situation dependent: the presence and proximity of a lead vehicle significantly moderated the effect of other parameters.

Fermi 40, 00044 Frascati (Italy) and Center for Theoretical Physics, Laboratory for Nuclear Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 Abstract. This article gives a brief outline of the life and works of the Austrian physicist Bruno Touschek, who conceived, proposed and, fifty years ago, brought to completion the construction of AdA, the first electron-positron storage ring. The events which led to the approval of the AdA project and the Franco-Italian collaboration which con- firmed the feasibility of electron-positron storage rings will be recalled. We shall illustrate Bruno Touschek's formation both as a theoretical physicist and as an expert in particle accelerators during the period be- tween the time he had to leave the Vienna Staat Gymnasium in 1938, because of his Jewish origin from the maternal side, until he arrived in Italy in the early 1950s and, in 1960, proposed to build AdA, in Frascati. The events which led to Touschek's collaboration with Rolf Widerøe in the construction of the first European betatron will be de- scribed. The article will make use of a number of unpublished as well as previously unknown documents, which include an early correspon- dence with Arnold Sommerfeld and Bruno Touschek's letters to his family in Vienna from Italy, Germany and Great Britain.
