The handshake is the most acceptable gesture of greeting in many cultures throughout many centuries.To date, robotic arms are not capable of fully replicating this typical human gesture.Using multiple sensors that detect contact forces and displacements, we characterized the movements that occured during handshakes.A typical human-to-human handshak
We describe a new species of frog of the genus Zakerana discovered from the urban core of Dhaka, Bangladesh, one of the most densely populated cities in the world.Although the new species is morphologically similar to the geographically proximate congeners in the Bangladeshi cricket frog group, we show that it can be distinguished from all congener
This study aims to JOINT OPTIMIZER develop a new index to evaluate the low-temperature cracking performance (LTCP) of recycled asphalt mixtures.To achieve this, the assumption that fracture energy has limitation in evaluating the LTCP of mixtures was put forward firstly.To reveal this limitation theoretically, a concept of energy absorption rate th
This article is devoted to the theory of the converse magnetoelectric (CME) effect for the longitudinal, bending, longitudinal-shear, and torsional resonance modes and its quasi-static regime.In contrast to the direct ME effect (DME), these issues have not been studied in sufficient detail in the literature.However, in a number of cases, in particu
Reductions in growth population and increased longevity have increased the demand for healthcare worker.In the near future, humanlike robot will be designed to assist and eventually replace the need for human in certain work areas.Our interest is to design a robot that has human characteristic and cooperate with human in moving an object.To design
