The DARPA Urban Challenge required robotic vehicles to travel more than 90 km through
an urban environment without human intervention and included situations such as stop …

This paper presents the design method for a humanoid which has a network based modular
structure and a standard PC architecture. Based on the proposed method, we developed …

This paper presents a framework for dynamic humanoid locomotion on uneven terrain using
a novel time-varying extension to the Divergent Component of Motion (DCM). By varying the …

This guideline update reflects substantial advances in the epidemiology, determinants,
pathophysiology, assessment, prevention and treatment of obesity, and shifts the focus of obesity …

Background & Aims Bariatric surgery has been reported to lead to complete resolution of
nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) following the sustained weight loss induced in obese …
