Human-like Navigation in a World Built for Humans

open access: yesCoRR
When navigating in a man-made environment they haven't visited before--like an office building--humans employ behaviors such as reading signs and asking others for directions. These behaviors help humans reach their destinations efficiently by reducing the need to search through large areas. Existing robot navigation systems lack the ability to execute

CRH-Like Peptides in Human Reproduction

open access: yesCurrent Medicinal Chemistry, 2009
CRH and Urocortins 1, 2 and 3 comprise the, so far identified, members of the CRH family of peptides in humans. Their actions are mediated through two distinct receptors, CRHR1 and CRHR2, encoded by different genes.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a ganglioside‐binding protein

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neuronal hyperexcitability associated with a decrease/absence of the extracellular protein LGI1 has been suggested to be primarily due to the downregulation of Kv1 channel expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this decrease have not yet been elucidated.

The Impact of Chatbot Familiarity and Frequency of Use on Human-Likeness [PDF]

open access: yes
This study investigates the relationship between user familiarity, frequency of use, and perceptions of human-like qualities in chatbots. Using survey data from 357 participants interacting with three simple chatbots, we examined how familiarity and ...

Benchmarking Human Likeness of Bipedal Robot Locomotion: State of the Art and Future Trends

open access: yes, 2020
The difficulty of defining standard benchmarks for human likeness is a well-know problem in bipedal robotics. This chapter reviews methods and criteria for the assessment of the sensorimotor mechanisms involved in human walking and posture. We focused on

Judging Others by Your Own Standards: Attractiveness of Primate Faces as Seen by Human Respondents

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
The aspects of facial attractiveness have been widely studied, especially within the context of evolutionary psychology, which proposes that aesthetic judgements of human faces are shaped by biologically based standards of beauty reflecting the mate ...

Ethics in Human-like Robots

open access: yes
The idea of creating artificial humans can be found at the beginning of the human culture. Ancient myths contain the stories of artificial humans brought to life by gods. The word robot originates from a play that was about artificial humans made from artificial flesh that aims to serve real humans. With advancements in robotics, the materialization of
