Towards Assistive Feeding with a General-Purpose Mobile Manipulator [PDF]

ICRA2016 workshop on Human-Robot Interfaces for Enhanced Physical Interactions, 2016, 2016
General-purpose mobile manipulators have the potential to serve as a versatile form of assistive technology. However, their complexity creates challenges, including the risk of being too difficult to use. We present a proof-of-concept robotic system for assistive feeding that consists of a Willow Garage PR2, a high-level web-based interface, and ...

Motor control of Drosophila feeding behavior

eLife, 2017
The precise coordination of body parts is essential for survival and behavior of higher organisms. While progress has been made towards the identification of central mechanisms coordinating limb movement, only limited knowledge exists regarding the generation and execution of sequential motor action patterns at the level of individual motoneurons. Here

Data‐driven forecasting of ship motions in waves using machine learning and dynamic mode decomposition

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
Summary Data‐driven forecasting of ship motions in waves is investigated through feedforward and recurrent neural networks as well as dynamic mode decomposition. The goal is to predict future ship motion variables based on past data collected on the field, using equation‐free approaches.

Rapid behavioral transitions produce chaotic mixing by a planktonic microswimmer [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Despite their vast morphological diversity, many invertebrates have similar larval forms characterized by ciliary bands, innervated arrays of beating cilia that facilitate swimming and feeding. Hydrodynamics suggests that these bands should tightly constrain the behavioral strategies available to the larvae; however, their apparent ubiquity suggests ...

Scaling Up Synthetic Cell Production Using Robotics and Machine Learning Toward Therapeutic Applications

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Synthetic cells (SCs) hold great promise for biomedical applications, but manual production limits scalability. This study presents an automated method for large‐scale SC synthesis, integrating robotic liquid handling and machine learning‐driven high‐throughput characterization.

Examining Parent Mood, Feeding Context, and Feeding Goals as Predictors of Feeding Practices Used by Parents of Preschool Children With Avid Eating Behavior: Protocol for an Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

JMIR Research Protocols
BackgroundAn avid eating behavior profile is characterized by a greater interest in food and a tendency to overeat in response to negative emotions. Parents use specific strategies to manage feeding interactions with children with

Concordance of poor child feeding and preventive behavior and its predictors in southwest rural Ethiopia

Food & Nutrition Research, 2016
Background: Inappropriate child feeding and caring practices are a major cause of malnutrition. To date, no studies have examined concordance and discordance of child feeding and preventive behavior and their predictors in developing countries.

Regulation of feeding dynamics by the circadian clock, light and sex in an adult nocturnal insect

Frontiers in Physiology
Animals invest crucial resources in foraging to support development, sustenance, and reproduction. Foraging and feeding behaviors are rhythmically expressed by most insects.

A Novel Digitalization Approach for Smart Materials – Ontology‐Based Access to Data and Models

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In order to access heterogeneous material data and model‐based knowledge, the established ontology‐based data access (OBDA) is extended to include material models. This novel ontology‐based data and model access (OBDMA) enables the computation of new responses beyond stored data.
