This paper presents a natural and comfortable communication system between human and robot based on synchronization to human emotional state using human facial expression recognition. The system consists of three parts: human emotion recognition, robotic emotion generation, and robotic emotion expression. The robot recognizes human emotion through human facial expressions, and robotic emotion i...

From January until April 2008 the MAGIC Telescope has been monitoring the radio galaxy M87 during several nights. A significant and variable signal has been detected. Following an agreement between the HESS/MAGIC/VERITAS Cherenkov Telescopes, additional observations have been triggered. We will give a short overview of the results from the campaign in January and February.

We report the parallax and proper motion of five L dwarfs obtained with observations from the robotic Liverpool Telescope. Our derived proper motions are consistent with published values and have considerably smaller errors. Based on our spectral type versus absolute magnitude diagram, we do not find any evidence for binaries among our sample, or, at least no comparable mass binaries. Their spa...

Abstract The Schwarzschild Couder Telescope (SCT) is a dual mirror Medium-Sized telescope proposed for the Cherenkov Array (CTA), next-generation very-high energy (from about 20 GeV to 300 TeV) gamma-rays observatory. SCT design consists of dual-mirror optics and high-resolution camera with field view (FoV) 8°, which will allow exceptional performance in terms angular resolution background reje...
