Most dancing robots to date have used patterns of preprogrammed motions or hard-coded interaction rules to produce this behaviour. In a departure from this approach, recently we used a form of embodied chaotic itinerancy (Ikegami, 2007, J. Consc. Studies, 14, p.111; Kaneko et al., 2003, Chaos, 13(3), p. 926) to generate motor movements for a robot in real time. We used the robot’s sensors to an...

In this paper, we propose the knowledgeable environment as a framework for integrated systems for human-machine co-existing space. In the knowledgeable environment, integration is achieved as knowledgelevel communication and cooperation. We abstract all machines as information agents whose roles and communication are understandable for people. Ontology is here used as explicit representation of...

sustainability creates solutions that solve the economic, social and environmental challenges. it has been studied and managed over many scales of time and space and in many contexts. the paper reviews the definitions of sustainability respecting the ecologic concept as well the need for balanced sustainability within its three pillars on equal way, then it goes throw ecologic architecture with...

With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...

this research was investigated to analyze genotype × environment (ge) interaction for grain yield in durum wheat multi-environment trials (met) conducted in dryland agricultural research stations (dari) using gge (g + ge interaction) biplot methodology and joint regression analysis (b +  s2di). the environment, ge interaction and genotype effects were accounted for 84%, 7.7% and 2.3% of total s...
