Biomechanical and Physiological Evaluation of Biologically-Inspired Hip Assistance With Belt-Type Soft Exosuits

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022
Hip-assisted soft exosuits have been reported for their effect on reducing the metabolic power of human walking. Currently, most studies focus on uni-directional assistance (HF: hip flexion, or HE: hip extension). This paper investigates the effect of bi-

Magic in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI)

2022 Swedish Artificial Intelligence Society Workshop (SAIS), 2022
"Magic" is referred to here and there in the robotics literature, from "magical moments" afforded by a mobile bubble machine, to "spells" intended to entertain and motivate children--but what exactly could this concept mean for designers? Here, we present (1) some theoretical discussion on how magic could inform interaction designs based on reviewing ...

Importin 7 mediates the nuclear import of HIV‐1 integrase via a specific interacting interface

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
HIV‐1 integrase enables viral DNA integration into the host genome. By binding to the core domain of the host protein Importin 7 via its C‐terminal domain, the integrase is transported across the nuclear membrane into the nucleus, where integration of the viral genome into host DNA takes place. This translocation is a critical step for subsequent viral

A recurrent reinforcement learning approach applicable to highly uncertain environments

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2020
Reinforcement learning has been a promising approach in control and robotics since data-driven learning leads to non-necessity of engineering knowledge. However, it usually requires many interactions with environments to train a controller.

Optimizing photoexcitation conditions for time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering experiments

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering (TR‐XSS) is a powerful technique to visualize how proteins change their structure in real time after light activation. Selecting the right laser photoexcitation conditions—fluence, excitation geometry, and sample refresh rate—is critical to maximize the experimental signal while avoiding unwanted side effects ...

Evolution‐guided yeast complementation reveals functional differences in human PSPH variants

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Ancient genomes can help guide which human genetic variants are tested experimentally. This study applies that idea to PSPH, a gene involved in serine biosynthesis, and uses high‐throughput yeast complementation to compare variant function. The findings reveal measurable differences among selected alleles and illustrate the value of evolution‐guided ...

Child-Centric Robot Dialogue Systems: Fine-Tuning Large Language Models for Better Utterance Understanding and Interaction

Sensors
Dialogue systems must understand children’s utterance intentions by considering their unique linguistic characteristics, such as syntactic incompleteness, pronunciation inaccuracies, and creative expressions, to enable natural conversational engagement ...

Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Producing unexpected emotional expressions in others reduces one’s own agency

Scientific Reports
The sense of agency (SoA), or the subjective feeling of causing and controlling action outcomes, is fundamental to how we engage with the world. In the present study, we investigated how SoA is influenced when individuals unintentionally elicit emotional

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...
