Abstract
The scientific and technological development, together with the world of robotics, is constantly evolving, driven by the need to find new solutions and by the ambition of human beings to develop systems with increasingly efficiency. Consequently, it is necessary to develop planning algorithms capable of effectively and safely move a robot within a given non structured scene. Moreover, despite of the several robotic solutions available, there are still challenges to standardise a development technique able to obviate some pitfalls and limitations present in the robotic world. The Robotic Operative System (ROS) arise as the obvious solution in this regard. Throughout this project it was developed and implemented a double A* path planning methodology for automatic manipulators in the industrial environment. In this paper, it will be presented an approach with enough flexibility to be potentially applicable to different handling scenarios normally found in industrial environment.

The main goals of this conference session was to present an overview of a model for fine-grained parallelism in Ada based on the notion of tasklets. The session presented and discussed a general execution model that would support parallelism constructs being considered for possible inclusion in a future version of the Ada standard. The session also presented and discussed a real-time model that provided consistency with the general model while providing enough flexibility to accommodate a wide range of real-time systems with the intent supporting real-time analysis and maintaining or improving the safety features of the language.

We present Conchord, a system for real-time automatic generation of musical harmony through navigation in a novel 12-dimensional Tonal Interval Space. In this tonal space, angular and Euclidean distances among vectors representing multi-level pitch configurations equate with music theory principles, and vector norms acts as an indicator of consonance. Building upon these attributes, users can intuitively and dynamically define a collection of chords based on their relation to a tonal center (or key) and their consonance level. Furthermore, two algorithmic strategies grounded in principles from function and root-motion harmonic theories allow the generation of chord progressions characteristic of Western tonal music.
