What Can Actors Teach Robots About Interaction?
In social interactions, the appropriate timing of physical actions is of vital importance. Otherwise appropriate actions performed at the wrong time can completely alter their perceived meaning. In this paper, we propose an approach to developing a physical vocabulary for human-robot interaction that uses trained actors as models of appropriate timing and gestures. We describe out initial work ...
متن کاملWhat can spermatogonial transplants teach us about male reproductive biology?
In this issue of Endocrinology, there is a rapid communication by Mahato et al. (1) that addresses the issue of estrogen action directly on germinal cells in the testis. The authors transplanted germ cells from the testis of the estrogen receptor a (ERa) knockout mice into the seminiferous tubules of germ cell-depleted wild-type mice. The germ cells carrying the knockout mutation underwent qual...
متن کاملWhat atomic liquids can teach us about quark liquids
Over the last ten years there has been truly remarkable progress in the study of cold, dilute gases of fermionic atoms in which the scattering length a of the atoms can be controlled experimentally. These systems can be realized in the laboratory using Feshbach resonances, see1) for a review. A small negative scattering length corresponds to a weak attractive interaction between the atoms. This...
متن کاملWhat viruses can teach us about the human immune system
The first and most critical step in a host’s response to viral infection is the recognition of the viral invader by the immune system. This task is carried out by a repertoire of sensor molecules, found in most organisms, that recognize features that are unique to the virus and not found in the host, such as viral double-stranded RNA. The principle that hosts are able to detect specific pathoge...
متن کاملWhat mediators can teach physicians about managing 'difficult' patients.
Between 10% and 12% of patients are considered difficult by their treating physicians,1 indicating a widespread problem. Many physicians report feeling at a loss to know how to effectively manage challenging patient interactions.2 In extreme cases, physicians resort to refusing to treat hostile patients or dismissing them from their clinical practice.
