In the 1980s a large number of Latin American countries reverted
from military dictatorships to civilian democracies. In most cases
the new democratic governments inherited an extremely precarious
economic situation, which left little room to manoeuvre. This book
analyzes the special problems that governments face in the
formulation and implementation of economic policy after the
restoration of democracy. In each of six cases - Argentina,
Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay - an analysis is made
of the difficulties encountered and the performance of the
democratic governments.
The human hand and its dexterity in grasping and manipulating
objects are some of the hallmarks of the human species. For years,
anatomic and biomechanical studies have deepened the understanding
of the human hand's functioning and, in parallel, the robotics
community has been working on the design of robotic hands capable
of manipulating objects with a performance similar to that of the
human hand. However, although many researchers have partially
studied various aspects, to date there has been no comprehensive
characterization of the human hand's function for grasping and
manipulation of everyday life objects. This monograph explores the
hypothesis that the confluence of both scientific fields, the
biomechanical study of the human hand and the analysis of robotic
manipulation of objects, would greatly benefit and advance both
disciplines through simulation. Therefore, in this book, the
current knowledge of robotics and biomechanics guides the design
and implementation of a simulation framework focused on
manipulation interactions that allows the study of the grasp
through simulation. As a result, a valuable framework for the study
of the grasp, with relevant applications in several fields such as
robotics, biomechanics, ergonomics, rehabilitation and medicine,
has been made available to these communities.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International
Conference on Simulation of Adaptive Behavior, SAB 2014, held in
Castellon, Spain, in July 2014. The 32 papers presented in this
volume were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the
proceedings. They cover the main areas in animat research,
including the animat approach and methodology, perception and motor
control, navigation and internal world models, learning and
adaptation, evolution and collective and social behavior.
