Transitioning with confidence during contact/non-contact scenarios

Aude Billard, Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez, Seyed Sina Mirrazavi Salehian, Hsiu-Chin Lin

In this work, we propose a dynamical system based strategy for establishing a stable contact with convex shaped surfaces during non-contact/contact scenarios. A contact is called stable if the impact occurs only once and the robot remains in contact with t ...

NK Cells Respond to Haptens by the Activation of Calcium Permeable Plasma Membrane Channels

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick

Natural Killer (NK) cells mediate innate immunity to infected and transformed cells. Yet, NK cells can also mount hapten-specific recall responses thereby contributing to contact hypersensitivity (CHS). However, since NK cells lack antigen receptors that a ...
