Jeśli nie naiwność, to co? Próba rekonstrukcji idei dziecka u J.J. Rousseau by Małgorzata Kowalik-Olubińska

“…Such findings prove that going beyond innocence in the considerations on the child’s nature and examining it in the context of a wider range of categories is valid and legitimate. They also point at the ambiguity and complexity of the child’s nature, which allows us to question the obviousness and universalness of the idea of a child as a being that is innocent, immature, dependent and devoid of the ability to influence events. …”

Learning-based locomotion control fusing multimodal perception for a bipedal humanoid robot by Chao Ji, Diyuan Liu, Wei Gao, Shiwu Zhang

“…This approach typically relies solely on proprioceptive sensing to generate control policies, often resulting in increased robot body collisions during practical applications. Excessive collisions can damage the biped robot hardware, and more critically, the absence of multimodal input, such as vision, limits the robot’s ability to perceive environmental context and adjust its gait trajectory promptly. …”
