The difficult subject of tolerance [PDF]

Annales Scientia Politica
Although the concept of tolerance is related to key philosophical issues (such as the nature and scope of human freedom), it is a relatively new concept in philosophy.

Modeling in Philosophy of Science [PDF]

, 2008
Models are a principle instrument of modern science. They are built, applied, tested, compared, revised and interpreted in an expansive scientific literature. Throughout this paper, I will argue that models are also a valuable tool for the philosopher of science.

Origami‐Inspired Structural Design for Aquatic‐Terrestrial Amphibious Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a lightweight amphibious origami robot actuated by a single shape memory alloy wire. A rigid foldable origami structure with displacement amplification enables efficient terrestrial crawling and aquatic swimming. The addition of fan‐shaped units allows controllable turning in both environments.

Intelligent Maintenance Review for Robots: Multimodal Information, Deep Diagnosis and Embodied Artificial Intelligence

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review maps the methods to monitor robots’ health by fusing vibration, sound, control signals, vision, force, and oil information with artificial intelligence. It identifies deep learning, transfer learning, digital twins, and physics‐informed models as key methodological pathways enabling earlier diagnosis, safer human–robot collaboration, and ...

Philosophy of science in the Netherlands

International Studies in the Philosophy of Science, 1997
Abstract Conditions for philosophy of science in the Netherlands are not optimal. The climate of opinion in Dutch philosophy is unsympathetic to the sciences, partly because of the influence of theology. Dutch universities offer no taught graduate programmes in philosophy of science, which would provide an entry route for science graduates.

Constructing a Philosophy of Science of Cognitive Science [PDF]

Topics in Cognitive Science, 2009
AbstractPhilosophy of science is positioned to make distinctive contributions to cognitive science by providing perspective on its conceptual foundations and by advancing normative recommendations. The philosophy of science I embrace is naturalistic in that it is grounded in the study of actual science.

Robotics in Ionizing Radiation Environments: Vulnerabilities, Hardening, and Future Directions

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Radiation exposure causes cumulative degradation in robotic sensors, actuators, and electronic logic, often leading to undetected failures. This study maps component vulnerabilities, evaluates hardening and shielding strategies, and identifies testing gaps that must be addressed to enable next‐generation radiation‐tolerant robotic systems.
