We present the development and evolution of the ARMAR humanoid robots, which have been developed to perform grasping and manipulation tasks in made-for-human environments, to learn actions and task knowledge from human observation and sensorimotor experience and to interact with humans in a natural way. We describe the mechatronics of the ARMAR robots, their grasping and learning capabilities a...

Both transitive reasoning and analogy-making are present at very early stage of human development and the question arises whether the two developmental trajectories interact with each other. We are presenting an experiment with 4 years old children to test the hypothesis that the analogymaking capabilities can scaffold and facilitate the development of transitive inference and the empirical dat...

moving toward third millennium is characterized by capabilities in transforming human life. specially, development of information technologies in everyday life lead to great changes in communication tools andour current understanding ofurban social life. indeed, telecommunications because of independency from time—space constraints, provide a new unlimited space for social interactions in globa...

This paper describes the development of a robotic heavy duty lawn mower provided with a rich set of sensors which initially provide tele-operation mode capabilities but will support extension towards full autonomy via an intermediate mode termed teleautonomous to reflect a multilevel control structure which permits graceful withdrawal of human guidance as the development proceeds.

Considered Research& development capabilities and innovation are key factors that help organizations sustain their business by offering products comply with environmental requirements. Business models have become multidimensional, take into account long-term impacts rather than just short-term financial returns issues. So this research aims to learn the range of impact & in dimension su...

Purpose This paper examines the role of human capital management strategy in shaping organizational resilience. Resilient organizations thrive uncertain and adverse conditions. The organization’s capacity for resilience can be developed through strategies that are focused on employee capabilities, training, development. When individual capabilities developed, those aggregated at an level to dev...

evidence suggests that human sperm chromatin anomalies adversely affect reproductive outcomes and infertile men possess substantially amount of sperm with chromatin anomalies than fertile men. routine semen analysis evaluates parameters such as sperm motility and morphology, but does not examine the nuclear dna integrity of spermatozoa. it has been suggested that altered nuclear chromatin struc...
