Windsurfing : an extreme form of material and embodied interaction? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper makes reference to the development of water based board sports in the world of adventure or action games. With a specific focus on windsurfing, we use Parlebas (1999) and Warnier's (2001) theoretical interests in the praxaeology of physical ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

A mobile handshake robot system for generation of handshake request motion during active approach to a human

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
Humans shake hands as a sign of greeting when they first meet, to greet one another and develop a rapport. A handshake is an embodied interaction through physical contact.

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Hands on - hands off: on hitting your thumb with a virtual hammer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In a wired world even the most physically embodied craft skills are affected by computer facilitated communication. To consider how different sorts of space – both real and virtual – influence the learning of craft skills this paper presents three types

Embodied Cognition for Autonomous Interactive Robots [PDF]

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, 2012
AbstractIn the past, notions of embodiment have been applied to robotics mainly in the realm of very simple robots, and supporting low‐level mechanisms such as dynamics and navigation. In contrast, most human‐like, interactive, and socially adept robotic systems turn away from embodiment and use amodal, symbolic, and modular approaches to cognition and

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Exploiting Deep Semantics and Compositionality of Natural Language for Human-Robot-Interaction

open access: yes, 2016
We develop a natural language interface for human robot interaction that implements reasoning about deep semantics in natural language. To realize the required deep analysis, we employ methods from cognitive linguistics, namely the modular and ...

Searching for Trouble: Recruiting Assistance through Embodied Action [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The recruitment of assistance constitutes a basic organizational problem for participants in social interaction. The methods of recruitment that we have identified include embodied displays of trouble which create opportunities for others to give or ...
