Universal access and assistive technology: Proceedings of the Cambridge workshop on UA and AT ’02
No full textThe first Cambridge Workshop on Universal Access and Assistive Technology (CWUAAT) was held at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, in March 2002. It was inspired by the earlier, highly successful Cambridge Workshops on Rehabilitation Robotics organised by the late Robin Jackson. Robin was the founder of Rehabilitation Research at Cambridge which now continues in the Engineering Design Centre within the Department of Engineering, led by John Clarkson and Simeon Keates, and in the Rainbow Group within the Computer Laboratory led by Peter Robinson. CWUAAT represents the first in a new series of workshops that we are aiming to hold every two years which, reflecting the spirit of recent moves to extend the rights for universal accessibility, will encourage discussion of a broad range of interests. There will be a general focus on product/solution development. Hence it is intended that the principal requirements for the successful design of assistive technology shall be addressed, where these range from the identification and capture of the needs of the users, through to the development and evaluation of truly usable and accessible systems for users with special needs. The best submissions received for the first CWUAAT are contained in this book, where the contributors are all leading researchers in the fields of Universal Access and Assistive Technology and represent a large part of the international research community. They include, though not exclusively, computer scientists, designers, engineers, industrial representatives, ergonomists and sociologists

Peter Robinson, interviewed by Tom Spurling and Terry Healy, 12 November 2018
No full textPeter Robinson was born in Cheshire, England on 21 May 1935. In the first part of the interview, he talks about his experiences growing up in wartime and post-war Wales. He benefitted from the progressive social policies of the Attlee Government, in particular to the access it gave him to a sound secondary education. He talks about his tertiary education at the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire and the influence this had on his career in research and education.
He recalls fondly his first experience in Australia. He had applied for a position with John Lysaghts, thinking that it was in their Cardiff operation, only to find that the job was in Newcastle, New South Wales! He went from there to a post-doctoral position at MIT, thinking that he would obtain a career position in a US manufacturing company. However, a meeting with Dr Walter Boas, then Chief of the CSIRO Division of Tribophysics, led to him returning to Australia to work for CSIRO.
He talks in detail about his first period at CSIRO, and in particular, how he developed close links to Australia’s major metal mining and manufacturing companies.
Peter left CSIRO in 1980 to work for Metal Manufacturers Australia. He gives great insight into challenges of working in the branch of a large multinational company. He also discusses his interactions with CSIRO during this time.
Peter returned to CSIRO in 1990 as the Chief of the Division of Manufacturing Technology after being approached to fill other roles in the Organisation. He describes his achievements in that position and his reasons for serving only one five year term.
In the final part of the interview, Peter talks about his time as the Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the University of Wollongong and his post-retirement activities

Mother Goose's Book of Nursery Stories, Rhymes, & Fables
No full textThis book is heavy on the nursery stories and rhymes mentioned first in the title. At the book's end come six stories including three fables and The Three Bears, Red Riding Hood, and Cinderella. The first of the fables is The Heron and the Fish. The heron was rather a faddy bird. This fable features a lovely colored illustration by Charles Robinson. There is also a line drawing after the fable of the heron having captured a snail. LM has a nice rhyming moral: Never despise a humble friend;/Perhaps he'll save you in the end. TH is presented in rhyming couplets. The book is well scribbled, well used, and sometimes not so well colored! There is no pagination. There are colored illustrations by Frank Adams and Hassatt (?) as well as Robinson. Hassatt's colored cover-picture of Mother Goose makes the old girl look quite masculine. This work represents one of those cases where shipping costs are more than six times the price of the book!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Peter Gra
