Snake Inspired Robots with a Rectilinear Gait [PDF]
, 2006 The problem that I was working on was trying to create a robot to successfully demonstrate rectilinear snake motion, try to create the quickest gait possible for the robot, and then work to create a modular robot.

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.

t‐Regina: Data‐driven Authoring of Free‐form Registration for Cartoon Character Sprites
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract This paper proposes t‐Regina, a novel iterative scheme that automates the manipulation of grid handles in free‐form deformation (FFD) for deformable registrations of cartoon character sprites. First, we build a data‐driven FFD (dFFD) that enables users to handle locations of FFD handles from lower‐dimensional parameters.

Serpentine locomotion of a snake-like robot controlled by musical theory
, 2005 Based on the structure of both biological snakes and snake-like robots and their rhythmic locomotion, the musical theory is adopted as a control method to study on a snake-like robot.

Retrieving Your Concepts: Iris Murdoch on Original Sin
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract In The Sovereignty of Good, Iris Murdoch argues that our moral thinking will be impoverished until it possesses a secular conception of original sin. Such a notion would need to remove unacceptable Christian baggage while retaining a genuine claim to be a descendant of the original Christian concept.

Motion Planning of a Snake-Like Robot Using an Optimized Harmonic Potential Field
Paladyn, 2010 Snake-like robots have gained popularity in the last three decades for their ability to utilize several gaits in order to navigate through different terrains. They are analogous in morphology to snakes, tentacles, and elephant trunks.

A 3D motion planning framework for snake robots
, 2014 This paper presents a motion planning framework for three-dimensional body shape control of snake robots. Whereas conventional motion planning approaches define the body shape of snake robots in terms of their individual joint angles, the proposed ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.A three‐dimensional model is used to analyze the locomotor biomechanics of the large Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Postosuchus kirkpatricki. The study finds that it is more uncertain than previously concluded whether it was quadrupedal or bipedal, and plantigrade or digitigrade, but it clearly had locomotor specializations including large hindlimb

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Turiasaurian teeth from Angeac‐Charente exhibit five dental morphotypes and reveal clear heterodonty and anteroposterior size gradient. Qualitative comparative anatomy quickly and efficiently identifies morphotypes, while 3D geometric morphometrics combined with machine learning refine ambiguous cases, demonstrating that qualitative and quantitative ...
