The 2005 JSME Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (ROBOMEC’05) was held at Kobe International Exhibition Hall, Kobe, Japan, on June 9-11, 2005, sponsored by the Robotics and Mechatronics Division of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. Prof. Tadokoro of Kobe University at that time served as general chair and Prof. Tsubouchi of Tsukuba University as program chair. The conference, whose theme was “Mega-Integration in Robotics and Mechatronics to Assist Our Daily Lives,” was to help establish new industries using advanced robotics and mechatronics technologies. Organized sessions numbered 64 and papers 880, again a record for the conference. This special issue presents 13 papers from the conference culled from 110 outstanding presentations – some 12% of the total – which were further narrowed to 47 before final selection for Part 1 (Vol.18, No.2). We thank the authors for their invaluable contributions to this issue and the reviewers for their time and effort. We also thank Editor-in-Chief Prof. Makoto Kaneko of Hiroshima University for organizing this special issue.

The Impact

As our daily lives and socioeconomic activities have increasingly come to depend on information systems and networks, the impact of disruptions to these systems and networks have also become more complex and diversified. In urban areas, where people, goods, money, and information are highly concentrated, the possibility of chain failures and confusion beyond our expectations and experience is especially high. The vulnerabilities in our systems and networks on have become the targets of cyber attacks, which have come to cause socioeconomic problems with increasing likelihood. To counter these attacks, technological countermeasures alone are insufficient, and countermeasures such as the development of professional skills and organizational response capabilities as well as the implementation of cyber security schemes based on public-private partnerships (PPP) at the national level must be carried out as soon as possible. In this JDR mini special issue on Cyber Security, I have tried to expand the scope of traditional cyber security discussions with mainly technological aspects. I have also succeeded in including non-technological aspects to provide feasible measures that will help us to prepare for, respond to, and recover from socioeconomic damage caused by advancing cyber attacks. Finally, I am truly grateful for the authors’ insightful contributions and the referees’ acute professional advice, which together make this JDR mini special issue a valuable contribution to making our society more resilient to incoming cyber attacks.

Wireless sensor networks are penetrating our daily lives, and they are starting to be deployed even in an industrial environment. The research on such industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs) considers more stringent requirements of robustness, reliability, and timeliness in each network layer. This Special Issue presents the recent research result on industrial wireless sensor networks. Each paper in the special issue has unique contributions in the advancements of industrial wireless sensor network research and we expect each paper to promote the relevant research and the deployment of IWSNs.

Moral Orientations

Posing the question, “What does it mean to care?” this visual work came about through a collaboration between teachers, children, and a local artist to render experiences of care from children’s daily lives within an early years laboratory school. Working from a perspective of material-discursive intra-activity (Barad, 2003, 2007), this inquiry explored the ways in which children’s and adults’ engagement with materials, such as paint, paper, and ink, for the purpose of collaboratively constructing images might challenge ideas about what care is in an early years setting. The resulting image-stories were displayed at a community event as a provocation for others to (re)consider how young children come to know care/caring as enmeshed within experiences of love, loss, and longing of responsibility for their classmates, of stewardship for the environment, of deep investment in daily work, and of coming to trust adults and children outside of their immediate families. While we have long recognized “care” as a fundamental curricular touchstone for teachers and young children (Noddings, 1988) and we continue to value moral orientations, such as kindness and respect, in our everyday enactments of practice, through this particular entanglement of children-adults-materials discourses, we have come to understand that “caring” emerges through multiple pathways and to multiple effects and can be articulated through multiple modalities. By presenting these images as the primary “text,” our intention is to provoke readers of this Special Issue to (re)consider both the specificity and multiplicity of care in young children’s school lives.

Shed Light

Authenticity is generally believed to play an important role in our daily lives. Empirical research thus far has made progress in understanding the nature of this important construct. We identify four broad conclusions about authenticity based on this research: (a) People value authenticity in their own behavior and other domains (e.g., life experiences, consumer products), (b) Self-reports of personal authenticity are linked to psychological well-being, (c) People generally believe authentic, or “true,” selves are morally good, and (d) Authenticity judgments are guided by cognitive tendencies related to psychological essentialism. Despite this progress, many basic questions about authenticity remain unresolved including (a) What is the best way to define the construct? (b) Why do people care so much about whether something or someone is authentic? and (c) Why is personal authenticity so strongly related to psychological well-being? This special issue presents articles aimed to shed light on some of these basic questions. Although each of the articles offers a unique perspective to understanding authenticity, these collections of articles provide a generative framework to help researchers continue to explore this elusive construct.
