Living with robots is no longer a fantasy seen just on TV or in movies. The concept of the intelligent space emerged from the field of robotics in the mid-1990s. The idea of the intelligent space is that the robot will support the architecture and users of the space by keeping in close contact with architectural space equipped with intelligent technologies. The benefit of the intelligent space is that the robot can be smaller and less intelligent because the robot will be assisted by advanced technologies embedded in the architectural space, such as sensors and actuators. Therefore, the robot can consequently assist user's activities with delicate care. This paper describes the vision and possibility for architectural planning as it relates to live with robots who can support the inhabitants' lives. This paper introduces the study of the relationship between humans and moving robot in architectural space, especially support region for humans by desktop mobile robot.展开更多

The aim of this action is a spatial planning that enables to perform further operations without problems. The removal, collection and transportation of stumps from the soil are part of this action. Issues related to climate change and the shortcoming of fossil energy sources call attention to increase the rate of renewable energy sources. Using the stumps removed from the soil as fuel is a significant resource within the biomass potential. For lifting a stump together with its roots, a grab mounted on a shovel is generally used. The utilisation of the lifted stumps for energy purposes increased worldwide, especially in the Scandinavian countries. In order to rationalise this operation, analyses of stump lifting time have been carried out. Results of some Hungarian experiments are presented below. The authors tested a machine mounting one grab for stump lifting on three tree types (Scots pine, robinia and poplar) and found functions correlating stump extraction force and stump diameter, which can be used in order to choose the right machine and determine the cost of the operation.展开更多

The ultrastructural details of these molecules were resolved in the images. Simultaneously, important physical properties, including elasticity, adhesion, and deformation were measured. The dimensions and adsorption of the immunoglobulin M antibodies onto the substrate indicated that they are highly by a low elastic stiffness (34 ± 10 MPa) flexible. The antibodies were characterized and high deformability (1.5 ± 0.5 nm).展开更多

Apart from physical touch or pressure sensing, proximity sensing as a complementary function can extend the detection mode of common single functional tactile sensors. In this work, we present a transparent, matrix-structure dual functional capacitive sensor which integrates the capability of proximity and pressure sensing in one device, and the excellent spatial resolution offered by the isolated response of capacitive pixels enables us to realize precise location identification of approaching objects and loaded pressure with fast response, high stability and high reversibility.展开更多
