This book gathers the outcomes of the thirteenth Workshop on the
Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics (WAFR), the premier event for
showcasing cutting-edge research on algorithmic robotics. The
latest WAFR, held at Universidad Politecnica de Yucatan in Merida,
Mexico on December 9-11, 2018, continued this tradition. This book
contains fifty-four papers presented at WAFR, which highlight the
latest research on fundamental algorithmic robotics (e.g.,
planning, learning, navigation, control, manipulation, optimality,
completeness, and complexity) demonstrated through several
applications involving multi-robot systems, perception, and contact
manipulation. Addressing a diverse range of topics in papers
prepared by expert contributors, the book reflects the state of the
art and outlines future directions in the field of algorithmic
robotics.

By the dawn of the new millennium,robotics has undergonea major
transformation in scope and dimensions. This expansion has been
broughtabout by the maturity of the ?eld and the advances in its
related technologies. From a largely dominant - dustrial focus,
roboticshas been rapidly expandinginto the challengesof the human
world.The new generationofrobotsis expectedto safely
anddependablyco-habitat
withhumansinhomes,workplaces,andcommunities,providingsupportinservices,
entertainment, education, healthcare, manufacturing, and
assistance. Beyond its impact on physical robots, the body of
knowledge robotics has p- duced is revealing a much wider range of
applications reaching across diverse research areas and scienti?c
disciplines, such as: biomechanics, haptics, neu- sciences, virtual
simulation, animation, surgery, and sensor networks among others.
In return, the challenges of the new emerging areas are proving an
abundant source of stimulation and insights for the ?eld of
robotics. It is indeed at the intersection of disciplines that the
most striking advances happen. The goal of the series of Springer
Tracts in Advanced Robotics (STAR) is to bring, in a timely
fashion, the latest advances and developments in robotics on the
basis of their signi?cance and quality. It is our hope that the
wider dissemination of research developmentswill stimulate more
exchangesand collaborationsamongthe research community and
contribute to further advancement of this rapidly growing ?eld.
This volume is the outcome of the eight edition of the biennial
Workshop Al- rithmic Foundations of Robotics (WAFR). Edited by G.
Chirikjian, H. Choset, M.

Magical short stories suggesting better relationships can be
achieved among living things given a genuine desire for tolerance:
An eagle shows compassion toward its most sought after prey, and in
turn wins a friend; A dandelion successfully pleads for mercy from
an engineer with a meticulously groomed garden. These stories teach
tolerance toward those who possess traits different from our own.
Se describe aqui el Mangu como una comida inevitable en la cocina
dominicana, desde las pobres hasta las mas ricas. Aunque si bien,
en este libro se idealiza con cierta liberalidad la historia del
origen del Mangu como alimento, asi como tambien los comienzos de
su nombre, las posibilidades que se sugieren alrededor de ambos no
dejan de ofrecer la tentacion de que puedan ser verdaderas. Se
presentan diversos acompanamientos del Mangu, incluyendo algunos ni
remotamente imaginados por el tradicional consumidor de este
importante y apetecible plato dominicano, pero, como se reporta
aqui, fueron degustados con toda satisfaccion por un grupo de
amigos y el autor. Al final del libro aparecen algunos cuentos
acerca del platano y el Mangu en forma de verso, y hasta un himno
al Mangu, cuya primera estrofa sigue la musica del himno nacional
dominicano, y las siguientes se pueden cantar a ritmo de Merengue.
Se podria decir que este libro da una interesante leida."
Este libro ofrece una perspectiva diferente de los anteriores que
se han escrito acerca de los eventos del primer libro de la Biblia.
Es simplemente un experimento ameno en ideas y pensamientos
literarios y filosoficos, sin pretension ni intencion religiosa.
Desde el indice de materias, y pasando por las dos creaciones, el
acto del pecado, el destierro de Eva y Adan del Paraiso, las varias
versiones del Diluvio, y otros mas, esta narracion presenta los
detalles de cada evento de Genesis desde un punto de vista natural.
Se basa este enfoque en la reaccion de los protagonistas, que son
humanos tal como nosotros, a lo que ocurre a cada paso a su
alrededor. Para el autor, los seres humanos principales receptores
de los beneficios y perjuicios de este mundo todavia nuevo y en
cierto grado de agitacion, por lo menos hasta y durante el Diluvio
son, Adan, Eva, Cain, Abel, Noe, la esposa de Noe: Naamah, la de
Sem: Sedequeteleb, la de Cam: Naltamauk y, la de Jafet: Adataneses.
Aparte de Eva, estas mujeres, aunque no se les hace el honor de
mencionarlas en el Libro Sagrado, tienen que haber trabajado
intensamente, y quien sabe, quizas con mas ahinco que sus esposos,
no solamente antes de su forzada aventura acuatica, sino durante su
tenebroso confinamiento en el arca junto a tantos animales."
