Gathering presentations to the First International Conference on
Cable-Driven Parallel Robots, this book covers classification and
definition, kinematics, workspace analysis, cable modeling,
hardware/prototype development, control and calibration and more.

Cable-driven parallel robots are a new kind of lightweight manipulators with excellent scalability in terms of size, payload, and dynamics capacities. For the first time, a comprehensive compendium is presented of the field of cable-driven parallel robots. A thorough theory of cable robots is setup leading the reader from first principles to the latest results in research. The main topics covered in the book are classification, terminology, and fields of application for cable-driven parallel robots. The geometric foundation of the standard cable model is introduced followed by statics, force distribution, and stiffness. Inverse and forward kinematics are addressed by elaborating efficient algorithms. Furthermore, the workspace is introduced and different algorithms are detailed. The book contains the dynamic equations as well as simulation models with applicable parameters. Advanced cable models are described taking into account pulleys, elastic cables, and sagging cables. For practitioner, a descriptive design method is stated including methodology, parameter synthesis, construction design, component selection, and calibration. Rich examples are presented by means of simulation results from sample robots as well as experimental validation on reference demonstrators. The book contains a representative overview of reference demonstrator system. Tables with physical parameters for geometry, cable properties, and robot parameterizations support case studies and are valuable references for building custom cable robots. For scientist, the book provides the starting point to address new scientific challenges as open problems are named and a commented review of the literature on cable robot with more than 500 references are given.

This book presents proceedings of the third international conference in this field, continuing the success of the previous events. The peer-reviewed and the selected papers are arranged to make the proposed book the most recent and complete overview on the State-of-the-Art in Cable-Driven Parallel Robots! The conference took place 2017 in Quebec, QC, Canada,

This open access book comparatively analyses intergenerational social mobility in immigrant families in Europe. It is based on qualitative in-depth research into several hundred biographies and professional trajectories of young people with an immigrant working-class background, who made it into high-prestige professions. The biographies were collected and analysed by a consortium of researchers in nine European countries from Norway to Spain. Through these analyses, the book explores the possibilities of cross-country comparisons of how trajectories are related to different institutional arrangements at the national and local level. The analysis uncovers the interaction effects between structural/institutional settings and specific individual achievements and family backgrounds, and how these individuals responsed to and navigated successfully through sector-specific pathways into high-skilled professions, such as becoming a lawyer or a teacher. By this, it also explains why these trajectories of professional success and upward mobility have been so exceptional in the second generation of working-class origins, and it tells us a lot also about exclusion mechanisms that marked the school and professional careers of children of immigrants who went to school in the 1970s to 2000s in Europe - and still do.

Der Begriff des Migrationsregimes erfreut sich grosser Beliebtheit. Er verspricht einen analytischen Zugriff auf die Komplexitat der Beziehung von Migration und Regulation. Dabei wird er jedoch sehr unterschiedlich genutzt und gedeutet. Die Herausgeber des Sammelbandes verstehen diese Vielstimmigkeit als einen Aufruf zur Debatte. Aufbauend auf einem langeren Austauschprozess auf Tagungen und Workshops haben sie Forscher*innen, die zentrale Fachrichtungen einer interdisziplinaren Migrationsforschung und deren unterschiedliche Perspektiven vertreten, eingeladen, die Grundannahmen, Potentiale und Herausforderungen des Ansatzes zu diskutieren. Die so versammelten kritischen Einsichten in ein Schlusselkonzept der modernen Migrationswissenschaft leuchten Wege aus, wie Fragen von Machtverteilung, Agency und Aushandlung systematischer in die Migrationsforschung einbezogen werden koennen.

2013 jahrt sich zum 50. Mal der Tag, an dem Tausensende von marokkanischstammigen Gastarbeitern im Rahmen des Gastarbeiteranwerbevertrags nach Deutschland einwanderten. Ein halbes Jahrhundert ist nun fast vergangen und heute leben etwa 180.000 Menschen marokkanischer Herkunft in Deutschland. Die meisten von ihnen leben in Nordrhein-Westfalen und in Hessen. Vom ungelernten Arbeiter bis zum Professor finden sich in allen sozialen Schichten Menschen mit einem marokkanischen Migrationshintergrund. Bisher spielten die Marokkostammigen als Forschungsgegenstand kaum eine Rolle fur die Migrationsforschung in Deutschland. Nach 50 Jahren bietet sich die Gelegenheit, zu fragen, wie die Migration und Integration von Marokkanischstammigen verlaufen ist, Entwicklungen innerhalb der marokkostammigen Community zu beleuchten, etwaige Unterschiede und Besonderheiten im Vergleich mit anderen Migrantengruppen zu bestimmen sowie neuen wissenschaftlichen Fragen am Beispiel von Marokkostammigen nachzugehen. Anlasslich des 50. Jahrestages bereitet das Deutsch-Marokkanische Kompetenznetzwerk (DMK) zusammen mit dem Institut fur Migrationsforschung und Interkulturelle Studien (IMIS) deshalb die Herausgabe eines Sammelbands zur deutsch-marokkanischen Migrations- und Integrationsgeschichte vor. Ziel ist die interdisziplinare Zusammenfuhrung und Weiterentwicklung verschiedener aktueller Forschungen zu marokkanisch-deutschen Migrations- und Integrationsbeziehungen. "

Das Buch untersucht die erfolgreichen Bildungskarrieren in der zweiten turkischen Migrantengeneration. Der Autor geht dabei der Frage nach, welche Bedeutung die Ethnizitat und die raumliche Segregation fur die sozialen Aufstiegsprozesse von Migranten haben."
