SORI: A softness-rendering interface to unravel the nature of softness perception

Jamie Paik, Mustafa Mete, Hwayeong Jeong

Tactile perception of softness serves a critical role in the survival, well-being, and social interaction among various species, including humans. This perception informs activities from food selection in animals to medical palpation for disease detection ...

Mitochondrial Pseudogenes Suggest Repeated Inter-Species Hybridization among Direct Human Ancestors

Konstantin Popadin

The hypothesis that the evolution of humans involves hybridization between diverged species has been actively debated in recent years. We present the following novel evidence in support of this hypothesis: the analysis of nuclear pseudogenes of mtDNA ("NUM ...

The SNP-Based Profiling of Montecristo Feral Goat Populations Reveals a History of Isolation, Bottlenecks, and the Effects of Management

Elia Vajana

The Montecristo wild goat is an endangered feral population that has been on the homonymous island in the Tuscan Archipelago since ancient times. The origins of Montecristo goats are still debated, with authors dating their introduction either back to Neol ...

A New Methodological Approach to Analyze Human Roles in Human-Robot Interaction Scenarios

Auke Ijspeert

The influence of robotics in the job market has socio-economic consequences and the inevitable loss of job positions, but in the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) scenarios, where humans and robots work together, new jobs and business models will be created. T ...

Inquiring the librarian about the location of memory

Gabriel Berdugo Vega

Where memories are stored in the brain is an age-old question in psychology and neuroscience alike. In particular, whether hippocampus-encoded memories are transferred to the cortex or remain hippocampus-dependent over time has not been definitely answered ...

Adaptive Task-Space Force Control for Humanoid-to-Human Assistance

Anastasia Bolotnikova

We envision a humanoid robot to serve as a source of additional motion-support forces in assistance for frail persons. In this context, we present a control strategy for a humanoid to adaptively regulate its assistive force contribution. First, we identify ...

MonStereo: When Monocular and Stereo Meet at the Tail of 3D Human Localization

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Sven Kreiss, Taylor Ferdinand Mordan, Lorenzo Bertoni

Monocular and stereo visions are cost-effective solutions for 3D human localization in the context of self-driving cars or social robots. However, they are usually developed independently and have their respective strengths and limitations. We propose a no ...

How crowding challenges (feedforward) convolutional neural networks

Michael Herzog, Ben Henrik Lönnqvist, Gregory Francis, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Alban Bornet, Lynn Schmittwilken

Are (feedforward) convolutional neural networks (CNNs) good models for the human visual system? Here, we used visual crowding as a well-controlled psychophysical test to probe CNNs. Visual crowding is a ubiquitous breakdown of object recognition in the hum ...

Temperature dependence of the(pi,0)anomaly in the excitation spectrum of the 2D quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Goran Nilsen, Martin Mourigal

It is well established that in the low-temperature limit, the two-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice (2DQHAFSL) exhibits an anomaly in its spectrum at short-wavelengths on the zone-boundary. In the vicinity of the (pi, 0) po ...

Analysis and Transfer of Human Movement Manipulability in Industry-like Activities

Sylvain Calinon, Noémie Laure Gwendoline Jaquier

Humans exhibit outstanding learning, planning and adaptation capabilities while performing different types of industrial tasks. Given some knowledge about the task requirements, humans are able to plan their limbs motion in anticipation of the execution of ...
