Sport-Specific Balance Develops Specific Postural Skills [PDF]
Sports Medicine, 2014 I read the review by Zemkova [1], entitled Sport-Specific Balance, with great interest. This is an important research area that may contribute to a better understanding of the postural control system under various sport performance requirements. The main objectives of this review were to analyse the effects of various types of exercise on balance ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study explores how information processing is distributed between brains and bodies through a codesign approach. Using the “backpropagation through soft body” framework, brain–body coupling agents are developed and analyzed across several tasks in which output is generated through the agents’ physical dynamics.

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.
