With technological developments, the prospect of a human-robot symbiotic society has emerged. A soccer game has characteristics similar to those expected in such a society. Soccer is a multiagent game in which the strategy employed depends on each agent’s position and actions. This paper discusses the results of the development of a learning system that uses a self-organizing map to select behaviors depending on the scenario (two-dimensional absolute coordinates of the agent, other agents, and the ball). The system can reproduce the action-selection algorithms of all the players on a certain team, and the robot can instantly select the next cooperative action from information obtained during the game. Thus, common-sense rules can be shared to learn an action-selection algorithm for a set of both human and robot agents.

DNA damage induced by the ultraviolet (UV) light, which affects adversely on genome stability, causes many kinds of diseases. Thus, a biochemical or biomechanical method in DNA damage protection is well required. In the present study, we investigated the effects of mechanical factors, such as deformation of cell nucleus using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based microfabricated array of micropillars, on UV radiation resistance of DNA in cultured cells. The epithelial-like cells spread normally in the spaces between micropillars and their nuclei showed remarkable deformation and appeared to be “trapped” mechanically on the array of pillars. We found that the UV radiation-induced DNA damage estimated by the fluorescent intensity of the phospho-histone γ-H2AX, was significantly inhibited with the nucleus deformation on the pillars. The result indicates that the inhibition of UV radiation-induced DNA damages might be resulted from structural change of DNA caused by the mechanical stress of the cell nucleus on the micropillars.
紫外线引起的DNA损伤对基因组的稳定性有不利影响,可引起多种疾病。因此,需要一种生物化学或生物力学方法来保护DNA损伤。本研究利用聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)微柱阵列研究了细胞核变形等力学因素对培养细胞DNA抗紫外线辐射的影响。上皮样细胞在微柱间隙内正常扩散,细胞核明显变形,似乎被机械地“困”在微柱阵列上。我们发现,通过磷酸化组蛋白γ-H2AX的荧光强度估计,紫外线辐射诱导的DNA损伤被显著抑制,核变形在柱子上。结果表明,微柱对紫外辐射诱导的DNA损伤的抑制可能是由于细胞核在微柱上的机械应力引起DNA结构的改变。

Snow removal work using construction equipment faces problems such as a shortage of skilled operators owing to the declining birthrate and aging population, work in dangerous areas, and accidents caused by a lack of concentration during long work hours. To improve the working environment, research and development of automation of construction equipment are actively conducted. Therefore, in this study, we aim to generate a driving path for wheel loaders for snow removal work in a work environment surrounded by obstacles, such as walls and fences. Furthermore, the proposed method considers the changing shape of the snow piles during the removal. We experimentally verified that snow removal could be performed using an actual wheel loader on the route generated by the proposed simulation.

A wearable biosensor was specifically engineered to measure uric acid, a biomarker present at wound sites. This biosensor, fabricated as a disposable and wearable device, was seamlessly integrated onto a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate by utilizing carbon and silver conductive paste as the electrodes. The enzyme uricase was immobilized onto the working electrode by utilizing chitosan, a biocompatible material, to create this biosensor. Notably, the uric acid biosensor fabricated with chitosan showcased exceptional performance metrics, including remarkable output current values and impeccable stability. These findings suggest the prospective utilization of chitosan-based uric acid biosensors for the accurate measurement of uric acid on human skin in future applications.

A household disaster map is required as a countermeasure against earthquakes, particularly in crowded, cluttered indoor spaces where evacuation is difficult. Therefore, the visualization of areas that are likely to hamper evacuation is important. This study focused on cleaning robots, which generate environmental recognition maps to control their movement. We proposed a system that detects obstacles impeding evacuation for households using an environmental recognition map generated by a cleaning robot. The map generation algorithm was based on image processing and stochastic virtual pass analysis based on a pseudo cleaning-robot model. Image processing involving the binarization process was conducted to identify the interior and exterior areas of a room. Stochastic virtual pass analysis was performed to track the coordinates (i.e., virtual pass of the robot model) inside the room. Furthermore, the proposed system was tested in a laboratory, and the application of the changing-layout design simulation was considered.

In this study, we developed a system for selective self-assembly of millimeter-scale components differentiated by adhesive patterns. This was achieved by designing concentric circular patterns having different radii but the same total length of peripheries. Small polymer sheets having solder adhesive patterns in these designs were simply attached to the millimeter-scale components to be assembled in a stirring container. This strategy was effective in avoiding an overlap between different patterns and enforcing the selective bonds between identical patterns among three types of components. Finally, the selective assembly of a functional structure (i.e., poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gel actuator) was demonstrated.

In orthodontics, various forms of mechanical stimulation induce opposing bone metabolism mechanisms. Bone resorption and bone formation occur in areas of compressive and tensile force action, respectively. The mechanism that causes such a difference in bone metabolism is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the difference in the osteoblastic calcium signaling response between compression and stretching mechanical stimuli. We applied two types of mechanical stimuli to osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells: first microneedle direct indentation onto the cell as compression stimuli, and second stretching stimuli by using originally developed cell stretching MEMS device. Cells were treated with thapsigargin and calcium-free medium to investigate the source of the calcium ion. The results demonstrated variations in the osteoblastic calcium signaling response between the compression and stretching stimuli. The magnitude of an increase in the intracellular calcium ion concentration is much higher in the compression stimuli-applied cell group. Treatment of calcium-free medium nearly suppressed the calcium signaling response to both types of mechanical stimulation. Thapsigargin treatment induced an increase in the magnitude of calcium signaling response to the compression stimuli, while suppressed the slow and sustained increase in the calcium ion concentration in the stretching stimuli-applied cell group. These findings demonstrate the difference in the characteristics of osteoblastic calcium signaling response between compression and stretching mechanical stimuli.
在正畸学中,各种形式的机械刺激诱导相反的骨代谢机制。骨吸收和骨形成分别发生在压缩和拉伸力作用的区域。导致这种骨代谢差异的机制尚不清楚。在这项研究中,我们研究了压缩和拉伸机械刺激对成骨细胞钙信号反应的差异。我们对成骨细胞样MC3T3-E1细胞进行了两种机械刺激:第一种是微针直接压痕作为压缩刺激,第二种是使用原始开发的细胞拉伸MEMS设备进行拉伸刺激。细胞分别用thapsigargin和无钙培养基处理,研究钙离子的来源。结果表明,在压缩和拉伸刺激之间,成骨细胞钙信号反应存在差异。在施加压缩刺激的细胞组中,细胞内钙离子浓度的增加幅度要高得多。无钙培养基的处理几乎抑制了钙信号对两种机械刺激的反应。Thapsigargin处理诱导了对压缩刺激的钙信号反应强度的增加,而抑制了拉伸刺激细胞组钙离子浓度缓慢而持续的增加。这些发现证明了压缩和拉伸机械刺激在成骨细胞钙信号反应特征上的差异。

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for estimating road surface shapes and object heights using a fisheye stereo camera. Environmental recognition is an important task for advanced driver-assistance systems. However, previous studies have only achieved narrow measurement ranges owing to sensor restrictions. Moreover, the previous approaches cannot be used in environments where the slope changes because they assume inflexible constraints on the road surfaces. We use a fisheye stereo camera capable of measuring wide and dense 3D information and design a novel algorithm by focusing on the degree of division in a disparity image to overcome these defects. Experiments show that our method can detect an object in various environments, including those with inclined road surfaces.
在本文中,我们提出了一种新的算法估计路面形状和物体高度使用鱼眼立体相机。环境识别是高级驾驶辅助系统的一项重要任务。然而,由于传感器的限制,以往的研究只能实现狭窄的测量范围。此外,先前的方法不能用于坡度变化的环境,因为它们假设了路面上的刚性约束。我们利用鱼眼立体相机测量宽而密集的三维信息,并设计了一种新的算法,通过关注视差图像的分割程度来克服这些缺陷。实验表明,该方法可以在各种环境下检测物体,包括倾斜路面。

Ultrasound (US) imaging is beneficial for kidney diagnosis; however, it involves sophisticated tasks that must be performed by physicians to obtain the target image. We propose a target-image search strategy combining visual servoing and deep learning-based image evaluation for robotic kidney US imaging. The search strategy is designed by mimicking physicians’ motion axis of the US probe. By controlling the position of the US probe along each of the motion axes while evaluating the obtained US images based on an anatomical feature extraction method via instance segmentation with YOLACT++, we are able to search for an optimal target image. The proposed approach was validated through phantom studies. The results showed that the proposed approach could find the target kidney images with error rates of 2.88±1.76 mm and 2.75±3.36°. Thus, the proposed method enables the accurate identification of the target image, which highlights its potential for application in autonomous kidney US imaging.

Thus, the proposed method enables the accurate identification of the target image, which highlights its potential for application in autonomous kidney US imaging.","PeriodicalId":51661,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135567299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose the design and implementation of spherical magnetic joint (SMJ)-based gait generation for the inverted locomotion of multi-legged robots. A spherical permanent magnet was selected to generate a consistent attractive force, enabling the robot to perform inverted locomotion under steel structures. Additionally, the robot’s foot tip was designed as a balljoint mechanism, providing flexibility in foot placement at any angle between the tip and surface. We also introduced an adjustable sleeve mechanism to detach the foot tip during locomotion by creating a fulcrum during the tilt and pull steps. This mechanism effectively reduced the reaction force based on the sleeve diameter. The experimental results showed a 46% decrease in the present load when using the adjustable sleeve mechanism compared to direct pulling. For inverted locomotion, a quadruped robot and a hexapod robot, which represent the predominant type of multi-legged robots, were constructed. We integrated the SMJ and adjustable sleeve into both robots, enabling them to perform inverted locomotion with various gaits such as crawling, trotting, square, and tripod gaits. Our analysis examined the characteristics of each gait in terms of velocity and stability, thereby confirming the versatility of the proposed SMJ, which can be applied to different types of legged robots.
本文提出了一种基于球形磁关节(SMJ)的多足机器人倒立运动步态生成方法的设计与实现。选择球形永磁体产生一致的吸引力,使机器人能够在钢结构下进行倒立运动。此外,机器人的脚尖被设计为一个球关节机构,在脚尖和表面之间的任何角度都提供了灵活性。我们还引入了一个可调节的套筒机制,通过在倾斜和拉动步骤中创建一个支点,在运动期间分离脚尖。该机构有效地减小了基于套筒直径的反作用力。实验结果表明,与直接拉拔相比,使用可调套筒机构可减少46%的当前负载。针对倒立运动,构建了四足机器人和六足机器人,这两种机器人代表了多足机器人的主要类型。我们将SMJ和可调节套筒集成到这两个机器人中,使它们能够以各种步态进行倒立运动,如爬行、小跑、广场和三脚架步态。我们的分析检查了每种步态在速度和稳定性方面的特征,从而证实了所提出的SMJ的多功能性,可以应用于不同类型的有腿机器人。
