Learning how to build and program your own robots with the most popular open source robotics programming framework About This Book Get to know the fundamentals of ROS and apply its concepts to real examples Learn how to write robotics applications without getting bogged down in hardware problems Learn to implement best practices in ROS development Who This Book Is For This book is for robotic enthusiasts, researchers and professional robotics engineers who would like to build robot applications using ROS. It gives the robotics beginner and the ROS newbie an immensely practical introduction to robot building and robotics application coding. Basic knowledge of GNU/Linux and the ability to write simple applications is assumed, but no robotics knowledge, practical or theoretical, is needed. What You Will Learn Control a robot without requiring a PhD in robotics Simulate and control a robot arm Control a flying robot Send your robot on an independent mission Learning how to control your own robots with external devices Program applications running on your robot Extend ROS itself Extend ROS with the MATLAB Robotics System Toolbox In Detail ROS is a robust robotics framework that works regardless of hardware architecture or hardware origin. It standardizes most layers of robotics functionality from device drivers to process control and message passing to software package management. But apart from just plain functionality, ROS is a great platform to learn about robotics itself and to simulate, as well as actually build, your first robots. This does not mean that ROS is a platform for students and other beginners; on the contrary, ROS is used all over the robotics industry to implement flying, walking and diving robots, yet implementation is always straightforward, and never dependent on the hardware itself. ROS Robotics has been the standard introduction to ROS for potential professionals and hobbyists alike since the original edition came out; the second edition adds a gradual introduction to all the goodness available with the Kinetic Kame release. By providing you with step-by-step examples including manipulator arms and flying robots, the authors introduce you to the new features. The book is intensely practical, with space given to theory only when absolutely necessary. By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience on controlling robots with the best possible framework. Style and approach ROS Robotics By Example, Second Edition gives the robotics beginner as well as the ROS newbie an immensely practical introduction to robot building and robotics application coding. ROS translates as "robot operating system"; you will learn how to control a robot via devices and configuration files, but you will also learn how to write robot applications on the foundation of this operating system.

Life is not easy in the Soviet Union at mid-20 th century, especially for a factory worker who becomes an unwed mother. But Antonina is lucky to get a room in a communal apartment that she and her little girl share with three elderly women. Glikeria is a daughter of former serfs. Ariadna comes from a wealthy family and speaks French. Yevdokia is illiterate and bitter. All have lost their families, all are deeply traditional, and all become “grannies” to little Suzanna. Only they secretly name her Sofia. And just as secretly they impart to her the history of her country as they experienced it: the Revolution, the early days of the Soviet Union, the blockade and starvation of World War II. The little girl responds by drawing beautiful pictures, but she is mute. If the authorities find out she will be taken from her home and sent to an institution. When Antonina falls desperately ill, the grannies are faced with the reality of losing the little girl they love – a stepfather can be found before it is too late. And for that, they need a miracle.

　　《黑格尔黑格尔学述》收贺麟于1930年代编译的近代西方新黑格尔主义者的经典黑格尔研究——尔德的《黑格尔》与鲁一士的《黑格尔学述》，二书均能将黑格尔学说体会融化并以清晰流利的文字叙述出来，可谓姊妹关系，互相发明，互相弥补，而又各有所长。尔德注重叙述黑格尔的生活、性格、时代风气、文化背景，特别是政治和宗教背景，以及黑格尔的逻辑学说；鲁一士则着重阐述黑格尔之精神现象学。本书是将黑格尔及其学说译介至中国的人——贺麟对“黑格尔学”发生兴趣之始，贺麟以朱熹太极观会通黑格尔的“*理念”，对于中西比较哲学研究居功甚伟。作为贺麟重要译著收“全集”的《黑格尔》及《黑格尔学述》均为建国后首度整理出版，对于了解哲学家和翻译家贺麟意义非凡。

　　《黑格尔早期神学著作》（“贺麟全集”第八卷）是著名哲学家、翻译家贺麟的重要译著之一，以八十岁高龄自诺尔编黑格尔著《早期神学著作》的德文原版翻译而成，并参考诺克斯与克朗纳的英译本。本书也是身为译介黑格尔至中国人的贺麟先生，生前后一部黑格尔相关译著。其中收黑格尔著《民众宗教和基督教》《耶稣传》《基督教的权威性》《基督教的精神及其命运》及《1800年体系残篇》等五篇论文，是了解和研究黑格尔早期神学思想的手资料。

　　《精神现象学》为德国古典哲学大师黑格尔阐述其哲学观和方法论原则的部纲领性巨著。黑格尔自认此书为其哲学体系的导言。马克思誉《精神现象学》为“黑格尔哲学的真正起源和秘密”和“黑格尔哲学的圣经”。黑格尔通过此书提出，精神现象学是关于意识到达“*知识”或“科学”（即哲学）的道路的科学，它为个体提供了一把攀登*知识的“梯子”。中译本由贺麟、王玖兴合译，分上、下卷先后于1962年和1979年由商务印书馆出版。上卷1979年再版时曾修订译文，以与下卷译名统一，本次整理出版“贺麟全集”版，对勘再版所作修改，择其重要者，以编注形式留存上卷初版原貌。

作者张汝伦先生在广泛阅读西方大家、名家解读《存在与时间》的诸多文本和专著基础上，用中国古人注疏经典的办法，逐节逐段解读，力图将这样一部晦涩、复杂的作品的文本意义和背后复杂的深意都揭示出来。

　　在《迟到民族与激思想》中，作者以《德国思想的他者视角》篇，从著名学者卡尔·曼海姆、马丁·格莱芬哈根、库尔特·伦克的研究成果出发，考察了有关保守主义的不同定义，揭示了德国保守主义思想的发生语境，分析了德国保守主义的思想结构，发掘其背后隐藏的思想关联、社会关联，特别是政治关联，揭示出德国作为后发现代化国家的激思想；从宏观上勾画出德国保守主义的发展脉络。

本书充分利用西周金文与传世文献史料，围绕宗教、伦理、政治互动的主线，对西周的孝友等血缘伦理思想，以及德、敬、肃、恭、勤、雍、和等政治伦理思想与善恶评价思想行宏观与微观的深探讨。在西周与古埃及的比较研究中，彰显西周“伦理思维发达”这一重要特征，并以双方族群格局差异为切，深探讨这一重要特征之成因。在西周与后世的比较视野下，围绕西周基本社会制度的伦理影响，深探研西周的“德治”思想及其“层级推衍治理”思想，从而揭示西周伦理政治思想的主要时代特征。

本书是作者关于当代国外马克思主义及后马克思思潮哲学文本研究的多卷本论著《文本的深度耕犁》之*卷，其内容主要是对西方马克思主义哲学中经典文献的文本学研究。在书中，作者*次以文本学的深度解读模式批判性地面对西方马克思主义的经典文本。本卷分别解读了青年卢卡奇的《历史与阶级意识》、施米特的《马克思的自然概念》、弗罗姆的《马克思关于人的概念》、科西克的《具体的辩证法》、萨特的《辩证理性批判》、阿尔都塞的《保卫马克思》和戈德曼的《隐蔽的上帝》等重要论著。

西方的启蒙思潮不仅横扫了中国的学术统绪，也终结了西方的古典时代。然而，随着20世纪末的来临，启蒙思潮也免不了被自己的西方子孙横扫命运“道术为天下裂”，无论西方还是中国学界，学问因与社会生活的变迁相适应已然支离破碎——世纪之交，新思潮、新学说风起云涌，惶然心态千姿百态。科学与学问既不当浑然不分，亦不可渐行渐远，一者关乎种种解救时弊、整顿现实生活的实用知识，一者关乎个体乃至国家的精神教养。学问的资源不在现代以来不渐推陈出新的科学原理，而在冲和古秀的历史经典。如今，无论西学、中学均面临如下抉择：要么追随现代之后学彻底破碎古典学问，要么修复古典学园、重新整顿精神教养。

卷包括：《查拉图斯特拉如是说》。本书是德国哲学家、思想家尼采的一部里程碑式的作品，几乎包括了尼采的全部思想；这本以散文诗体写就的杰作，以振聋发聩的奇异灼见和横空出世的警世招语宣讲 “超人哲学”和“权力意志”，横扫了基督教所造成的精神奴性的方方面面，谱写了一曲自由主义的人性壮歌。

本书从当代中国农村社会发展中的基本问题出发，考察16世纪的平民儒家学派泰州学派在参与乡村建设中的思想及实践活动，认为平民可以通过汲取儒学等文化资源，担当农村社会建设的主力。作为乡村建设实践，泰州学派形成家族建设与社会建设两翼，通过创造性转化，活跃在20世纪的各种乡村建设实验中。

本套装包括《查拉图斯特拉如是说》《朝霞》《墨西拿的田园诗》《快乐的知识》《人性的，太人性的》《见解与箴言杂录》《漫游者和他的影子》《悲剧的诞生》《不合时宜的思考》《1870－1873年遗作》。《查拉图斯特拉如是说》是德国哲学家、思想家尼采的一部里程碑式的作品，几乎包括了尼采的全部思想；这本以散文诗体写就的杰作，以振聋发聩的奇异灼见和横空出世的警世招语宣讲 “超人哲学”和“权力意志”，横扫了基督教所造成的精神奴性的方方面面，谱写了一曲自由主义的人性壮歌。《快乐的知识》是尼采后期的重要作品，创作于大病初愈之后，浓缩了尼采思想的精髓，对诸如生命、个体与群体能、爱情、文艺、哲学、科学、道德、法律、宗教、社会发展等问题都进行了简明而深刻的论述，语言凝练而隽永，思想鲜明而锐利，行文多为警句或短诗，思想火花处处闪现，令人读后有痛快淋漓之感。《人性的，太人性的》用格言体写成，从各方面探讨了世界与人生的基本问题，作者对西方形而上学传统及其影响下的西方文化进行了全面批判，一方面肯定人性中值得肯定的方面，希望挖掘人的潜力，使人类变得更优秀；另一方面又对人性的弱点和缺点，尤其对西方文化传统下形成的这种弱点和缺点，进行了尖刻的讽刺和挖苦。作者寄希望于“自由精灵”，也就是能超越传统思维方式、传统道德观念而自由思想的人。 《悲剧的诞生》是对古希腊酒神现象的重视，尼采立足于这种不登大雅之堂的现象，把它当作理解高雅的希腊悲剧、希腊艺术、希腊精神的钥匙，从中提升出一种哲学来。

生活是自己创造的。每个人都会时常面临来自生活、工作和社会的各种各样的问题。我们的处世方法、工作态度、努力程度、思维方式和心态信念等等决定了我们一生的成败。不论干什么，我们都希望自己能够成功，都试图尽量避免失败或走弯路。每天翻翻这本富有哲理性的“枕边书”，能够让你豁然开朗。

本书是在中国人民大学哲学院举办的讲座“哲学的星空”季的基础上整理汇集而成的。本书分别阐述了阅读《资本论》的难度和门槛、斯金纳的技治术、实验哲学的兴起及其意义、批判性阅读与写作、道家的自然观念、生命复制的两种含义、罗尔斯的“公平的机会平等”思想、民法典与中国社会的伦理走向、“格义”之广狭二义及其在佛教中国化中的历史作用、中国哲学形上学、身份政治时代的社会正义、先秦法家的历史际遇与价值重估、从“哲学”到“中国哲学”、晚年恩格斯正义观的实践逻辑，各位学者或深分析了新的哲学问题，或对经典文本和经典命题做出新阐释。
