Mimesis theory is one of the primitive skill of imitative learning which is regarded as an origin of human intelligence because imitation is fundamental func tion for communication and symbol manipulation When the mimesis is adopted as learning method for humanoids loads for designing full body behavior would be decrease because bottom up learning approaches from robot side and top down teachin...

One central challenge for game developers is the need to create compelling behavior for a game's characters and objects. Most approaches to behavior generation have either used scripting or finite-state approaches. Both of these approaches are restricted the requirement to anticipate game state at design time. Research in artificial intelligence has developed a number of techniques for automati...

Charles Darwin was fascinated by the orchid-pollinator interactions, but he did not realize that many orchid species are pollinated by deceit. Cypripedium, a model lineage of nonrewarding orchid flowers, is pollinated primarily by bees. Here we present both an example of floral mimesis of fungus-infected foliage in orchids and an example of flat-footed flies (Agathomyia sp.; Platypezidae) as po...

We introduce a method of accurately and efficiently modeling a large population of participants in a financial market. Each participant is modeled as having an internal preference state affected by the continual arrival of exogenous information and by the behavior of others. In order to describe a community of traders, we introduce a population equation that is derived rigorously from the under...
