Sommario/riassunto

In Warriors for a Living , Idan Sherer examines the experience of the Spanish infantry during the formative period of the Italian Wars. Decades of clashes between Spain and France transformed Italy into a crucible of military tactics and technology and brought about the emergence of the Spanish infantry tercios as Europe’s finest military force for more than a century. From their recruitment, through the complexities of everyday life in the army and culminating in the potential brutality of soldiering, the book offers a fresh and much needed exploration, analysis and, at times, reconsideration of what it meant to be a professional soldier in early modern Europe.

Sommario/riassunto

The book Human-Robot Interaction - Perspectives and Applications highlights the latest developments and obstacles in the field of human-machine interaction, including collaborative and humanoid robots, symbiosis between humans and robots, human-human collaboration, and robotics. Human-robot interaction has immense potential in areas like healthcare, education, manufacturing, military, and space exploration. This volume consists of several chapters that explore various topics such as the use of robotic wheelchairs, deep neural networks for robot grasp recognition, materials and sensors required for human-robot interaction, the use of drone technology in agriculture, healthcare robots in smart hospitals, and more.
