We present a method for automatic grasp generation based on object shape primitives in a Programming by Demonstration framework. The system first recognizes the grasp performed by a demonstrator as well as the object it is applied on and then generates a suitable grasping strategy on the robot. We start by presenting how to model and learn grasps and map them to robot hands. We continue by perf...

In this paper we show that the study of integrability and D-representability of Lipschitz functions deened on arbitrary Banach spaces reduces to the study of these properties on separable Banach spaces.

Background: Melorheostosis has been discussed infrequently in the nuclear medicine literature. A 25-year-old female patient presented with a one-year history of b:union: pain, sclerotic change and skin pigmentation on the left big toe interphalangeal joint.

This paper introduces similarities between Qin Opera, libretto poetry, content, translator team, rhyme characteristics Western Theory", trying explore applicability "...

1 This paper reports on an exploratory analysis of the behaviour of citations, i.e., pattern of obsolescence, for management science papers over a fourteen year period. It addresses three questions: i) can collections of papers from the same journal all be modelled using the same obsolescence function? ii) Can we identify specific patterns of behaviour such as " sleeping beauties " or " shootin...

human mind, and the manifestations and existence of the Deity, as revealed to him in the harmonies and beauties of the surrounding universe; but as he progresses in his investigations, and dives deeper and deeper into the secrets he seeks to penetrate, he finds that all his efforts and ingenuity recoil upon him?" thus far shalt thou go, and no farther," seems to resound upon his ear as from the...
