Small-sized handshake robot system for generation of handshake behavior with active approach to human

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2019
Humans shake hands as a sign of greeting, when they first meet one another, to express a feeling of rapport. For interactions involving a human and a robot, if the robot generates a handshake behavior that is emotionally acceptable to humans, it will ...

A body contact-driven pupil response pet-robot for enhancing affinity

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2021
Dilated pupil response has effects on favorable impression to human. Focusing on the pupil response in human-robot interaction, we have developed a pupil response system using hemisphere displays and confirmed that the pupil response is effective for ...

A nodding detection system based on the active appearance model

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2016
In face-to-face conversation, embodied rhythms between speech and body movements such as nodding are mutually synchronized between talkers such as a speaker and a listener.

Defect-Intent Ambiguity Addressing for Training-Free Deterministic PCB Defect Localization via Template Selection and Dissimilarity Mapping

Sensors
Automated optical inspection (AOI) for printed circuit boards (PCBs) requires localizing small, sparse defects under illumination drift and minor placement misalignment, while supporting fast, auditable pass/fail decisions. This paper presents a training-

Optimization problem of motion speed and muscle fatigue for development of the typing assisting device

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2017
Hemiplegic patients often have reduced typing speed due to finger paralysis. Our motivation is to develop a keyboard that enables their typing speed to increase.

Diagnosis of Onychomycosis: From Conventional Techniques and Dermoscopy to Artificial Intelligence

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Onychomycosis is a common fungal nail infection. Accurate diagnosis is critical as onychomycosis is transmissible between humans and impacts patients' quality of life.

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

FEBS 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 ...

Study on the biped walking pet robot with short legs (Development of the biped walking pet robot with a stuffed bear)

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
The aging population and the ratio of 65 years old or more increase rapidly at time when the baby boom generation and baby boomers enter the aging population, receive lower birthrates afterwards, and increase gradually in recent years.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...
