Intitul\u00e9 <strong><em>Dei ex Machinis<\/em><\/strong>, cet ouvrage d\u00e9crit les vies et les \u0153uvres des facteurs d&rsquo;automates et proto-robots dont l&rsquo;Histoire a conserv\u00e9 la m\u00e9moire, ainsi que les \u00ab\u00a0ressorts savants\u00a0\u00bb animant ces machines. Il comprend pr\u00e8s de 1000 pages et 400 figures, et couvre une p\u00e9riode allant des l\u00e9gendes anciennes jusqu&rsquo;aux d\u00e9buts de l&rsquo;Intelligence Artificielle.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Certains de ces hommes ont marqu\u00e9 l&rsquo;Histoire par leurs armes, par leurs \u00e9crits ou par leur philosophie. Ils ont souvent r\u00e9volutionn\u00e9 les connaissances scientifiques ou techniques de leur \u00e9poque. Parfois, ils ont tout su sur tout\u00a0; d&rsquo;autre fois, ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 accus\u00e9s de n&rsquo;avoir rien compris \u00e0 rien. Ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 charpentiers, horlogers, pr\u00eatres, bateleurs, commer\u00e7ants, entrepreneurs, chercheurs. Il leur est arriv\u00e9 de c\u00f4toyer les rois, les empereurs et les papes\u00a0; il leur est arriv\u00e9 aussi de croupir en prison ou de se suicider. L&rsquo;un d&rsquo;entre eux est devenu roi lui-m\u00eame et un autre est devenu le pape de l&rsquo;An Mil. Ils sont morts riches et c\u00e9l\u00e8bres ou inconnus et ruin\u00e9s. Cependant, tous sont des \u00eatres exceptionnels qui &#8211; parmi de nombreuses autres contributions remarquables \u00e0 l&rsquo;histoire des sciences &#8211; ont produit des automates l\u00e9gendaires, des automates authentiques, de faux automates, des automates truqu\u00e9s ou de v\u00e9ritables robots. Pourtant, ils connurent souvent des faiblesses typiquement humaines et il reste sur leurs vies et leurs \u0153uvres de nombreux myst\u00e8res que le lecteur d\u00e9couvrira au fil de ces pages qui couvrent environ trente si\u00e8cles de notre histoire.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">N&rsquo;ayant pas trouv\u00e9 un \u00e9diteur traditionnel assez fou pour publier un pav\u00e9 pareil, je l&rsquo;ai \u00e9dit\u00e9 en 3 volumes aux <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leseditionsdunet.com\/search.php?search_query=Dei+ex+machinis\">Editions du Net<\/a> &#8212; o\u00f9 des extraits en ligne sont disponibles :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jean-arcadymeyer.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Editions-du-Net.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-454\" title=\"Editions du Net\" src=\"http:\/\/jean-arcadymeyer.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Editions-du-Net.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"292\" height=\"87\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"Dei ex Machinis Vol I\" href=\"http:\/\/jean-arcadymeyer.fr\/?page_id=388\">Volume I<\/a>, <a title=\"Dei ex Machinis Vol II\" href=\"http:\/\/jean-arcadymeyer.fr\/?page_id=394\">Volume II<\/a>, <a title=\"Dei ex Machinis Vol III\" href=\"http:\/\/jean-arcadymeyer.fr\/?page_id=399\">Volume III<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On peut \u00e9galement se procurer ce \u00ab\u00a0monument plus durable que l&rsquo;airain\u00a0\u00bb chez :<a href=\"http:\/\/jean-arcadymeyer.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pts-vente-Dei-ex-Machinis.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-458\" title=\"Pts vente Dei ex Machinis\" src=\"http:\/\/jean-arcadymeyer.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pts-vente-Dei-ex-Machinis.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"793\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jean-arcadymeyer.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pts-vente-Dei-ex-Machinis.jpg 793w, https:\/\/jean-arcadymeyer.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pts-vente-Dei-ex-Machinis-300x139.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 793px) 100vw, 793px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/livre.fnac.com\/a8839148\/Jean-Arcady-Meyer-Dei-ex-machinis#st=dei%20ex%20machinis&amp;ct=&amp;t=p\">FNAC<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.fr\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&amp;url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=dei+ex+machinis\">AMAZON<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eyrolles.com\/Accueil\/Recherche\/?q=dei+ex+machinis&amp;sort=dtparution&amp;nb=20\">Librairie Eyrolles<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.furet.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?loupe.x=0&amp;loupe.y=0&amp;q=dei+ex+machinis&amp;searchtype=facette\">Furet du Nord<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.librairiescientia.eu\/?option=com_mbhbooksearch&amp;Itemid=&amp;task=gosearch&amp;query=Jean-arcady%20%20Meyer%20&amp;qf=au\">Librairie Scientia<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Les Ballets Africains (contacter le portier)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Palais de la chaussure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dans ces conditions, il vous devient possible de tout savoir sur la <em>Francine<\/em> de Descartes, sur le <em>Canard<\/em> de Vaucanson, sur l&rsquo;<em>Homme Vapeur<\/em> de Dederick.

Entitled \u00ab\u00a0Dei ex Machinis\u00a0\u00bb, this work describes the lives and works of \u00a0automata and proto-robots designers of whom History has kept memory, as well as the \u00ab\u00a0clever springs\u00a0\u00bb animating these machines. It includes nearly 1,000 pages and\u00a0 400 figures, and covers a period ranking \u00a0from ancient legends to the beginnings of Artificial Intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Some of these men have marked History by their arms, their writings or their philosophy. They often revolutionized the scientific or technical knowledge of their time. Sometimes, they knew everything about everything; sometimes, they were accused of having understood nothing to nothing. They were carpenters, watchmakers, priests, showmen, traders, entrepreneurs and researchers. Occasionally, they were next to kings, emperors and popes; some rot in prison, others committed suicide. One of them became a king himself, another one became the pope of year 1000. They died rich and famous, or unknown and ruined. They are all exceptional people who &#8211; among numerous other outstanding contributions to the history of science &#8211; designed legendary automata, real automata, false automata, faked automata or true robots. However, they often experienced the same weaknesses as every human and numerous mysteries still roam about their lives and works, which the reader will discover through these pages covering about thirty centuries of our history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Having not found a traditional publisher crazy enough to publish such a massive book, I edited it online in 3 volumes at Les Editions du Net (Vol I, Vol II, Vol III). Download links are<a href=\"http:\/\/www.leseditionsdunet.com\/search.php?search_query=Dei+ex+machinis\"> here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> Now, you may know everything about Descartes&rsquo; Francine, about \u00a0Vaucanson&rsquo;s \u00a0Duck, about Dederick&rsquo;s\u00a0 Steam Man. You can also enjoy the incredible episodes of Vergil in the basket, of De Caus at Bicetre, of the rotating chimney of Vaucanson. You are free to sympathize with the misfortunes of Bacon and Faber and to discover fascinating characters such as Kircher, Maelzel or Edison. Finally &#8211; unless on purpose &#8211; you cannot ignore how and why many cybernetic animals preceded the current wave of humanoid robots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\"{count} data-url=\"jean-arcadymeyer.fr\" data-text=\"Un site qui parle d'Intelligence Artificielle, d'automates, de robots bioinspir\u00e9s et d'animats http:\/\/jean-arcadymeyer.fr\" data-via=\"Felix_Quipotuit\" data-size=\"large\">Tweet<\/a><br \/>\n<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Depuis que je suis \u00e0 la retraite, j&rsquo;ai pass\u00e9 plusieurs ann\u00e9es \u00e0 \u00e9crire un livre sur les racines historiques de l&rsquo;Intelligence Artificielle en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et de la robotique bio-inspir\u00e9e en particulier.
