The scale and variety of acts of religious intolerance evident in
so many countries today are of enormous contemporary concern. This
2005 study attempts a thorough and systematic treatment of both
Universal and European practice. The standards applicable to
freedom of religion are subjected to a detailed critique, and their
development and implementation within the UN is distinguished from
that within Strasbourg, in order to discern trends and obstacles to
their advancement and to highlight the rationale for any apparent
departures between the two systems. This dual focus also
demonstrates the acute need for the European Court to heed the
warnings from various patterns of violation throughout the world
illustrated by the Human Rights Committee and the Special
Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief.
Limp materials are used in many economically impo~tant industries
such as garment manufacture, shoe manufacture, aerospace
(composites) and automobiles (seats and trim). The use of sensors
is essential for reliable robotic handling of these materials,
which are often based on naturally occurring substances such as
cotton and leather. The materials are limp and have non-homogeneous
mechanical properties which are often impossible to predict
accurately. The applications are very demanding for vision and
tactile sensing and signal processing, adaptive control systems,
planning and systems integration. This book comprises the
collection of papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research
Workshop on 'Sensory Robotics for the Handling of Limp Materials',
held in October 1988 at II Ciocco, Tuscany, Italy. The aim of the
workshop was to examine the state of the art and determine what
research is needed to provide the theoretical and technological
tools for the successful application of sensory robotics to the
handling of limp materials. The meeting also acted as the
first-ever forum for the interchange of knowledge between
applications-driven researchers and those researching into the
provision of fundamental tools. The participants were drawn from
academia (20), industry (5), and other non-university research
organisations (5).
