Analysis of creeping locomotion of a snake robot on a slope

, 2003
Biological snakes' diverse locomotion modes and physiology make them supremely adapted for environment. To realize these snakes' noticeable features, we have developed a snake-like robot that has no any forward direction driving force. To enlarge

An amphibious snake-like robot with novel gaits on ground and in water

, 2011
Amphibious snake-like robots are advantageous than traditional snake-like robots for their adaptability in aquatic environments. This paper presents a novel amphibious snake-like robot. The mechanism and control system of the robot are illustrated.

‘Everything is a signal’: speaking circuits and noisy signs in the making of language‐oriented AI « Tout est signal » : circuits parlants et signes bruyants dans la création de l'IA orientée langage

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are often presumed to be capable of revealing unmediated truths about the world, including the truths language might hold, echoing the long‐standing assertion that language's primary function is to directly translate reality.

Demand Estimation with Text and Image Data

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a demand estimation approach that leverages unstructured data to infer substitution patterns. Using pre‐trained deep learning models, we extract embeddings from product images and textual descriptions and incorporate them into a mixed logit demand model.

Prey Partitioning in a Diverse Carnivore Community: Implications for Reintroduced Fishers in Washington

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

A simulator to analyze creeping locomotion of a snake-like robot

, 2001
Snakes perform many kinds of movement that are adaptable to the environment. Utilizing the snake (its forms and motion) as a model to develop a snake-like robot that emulates a snakes' function is important for generating a new type of locomotor and ...

The entanglement between the IUCN Red List and international biodiversity law

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species (red list) is of fundamental importance for nature conservation and biodiversity protection. I considered the interaction between the red list and international biodiversity law (IBL), the legal regime that aims to protect biodiversity at a global level ...

Collaborative robots (cobots) for disaster risk resilience: a framework for swarm of snake robots in delivering first aid in emergency situations

Frontiers in Robotics and AI
Cobots are robots that are built for human-robot collaboration (HRC) in a shared environment. In the aftermath of disasters, cobots can cooperate with humans to mitigate risks and increase the possibility of rescuing people in distress.
