This paper presents an e cient online method to generate humanoid walking motions that satisfy desired upper body trajectories while simultaneously carrying objects. A fast motion pattern genaration technique that follows the desired ZMP is adopted. In order to satisfy the control input given online, subsequent motion patterns are updated and connected stably to the old ones while executing. Du...

High-throughput computational methods capable of predicting, evaluating and identifying promising synthetic candidates with desired properties are highly appealing to today's scientists. Despite some successes, in silico design of crystalline materials with complex three-dimensionally extended structures remains challenging. Here we demonstrate the application of a new genomic approach to ABC-6...

An idea of hybrid maps is proposed to establish purification protocols in which the demerits of the IBM and Oxford protocols are overcome. Examples of two-map protocol have been shown that they can be performed in distilling a desired maximally entangled pure state with certainty with equal efficiency as if the Oxford protocol is implemented. PACS: 03.67.-a Quantum information processings such ...

A new vector quantization method is proposed which generates codebooks incrementally. New vectors are inserted in areas of the input vector space where the quantization error is especially high until the desired number of codebook vectors is reached. A one-dimensional topological neighborhood makes it possible to interpolate new vectors from existing ones. Vectors not contributing to error mini...

Research on practical models of autonomous agents has largely focused on a procedural view of goal achievement. This allows for efficient implementations, but prevents an agent from reasoning about alternative courses of action for the achievement of its design objectives. In this paper we show how a procedural agent model can be modified to allow an agent to compose existing plans into new one...
