This paper provides a basis for investigating ”The Origin of Artificial Species,” as robot can be considered as an artificial creature. To design an artificial creature, a general architecture for the artificial creature is presented and its artificial chromosomes are described. At present the chromosomes are implanted into the software robot living in virtual world, but in the future research ...

Physical and cognitive training seem to counteract age-related decline in physical and mental function. Recently, the possibility of integrating cognitive demands into physical training has attracted attention. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of twelve weeks of designed physical-cognitive training on executive cognitive function and gait performance in older adults. Thirty...

We propose a Deep Belief Net model for robust motion generation, which consists of two layers of Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs). The lower layer has multiple RBMs for encoding real-valued spatial patterns of motion frames into compact representations. The upper layer has one conditional RBM for learning temporal constraints on transitions between those compact representations. This separa...

objectives: the aim of this study was to extract suitable spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters to determine how total knee replacement (tkr) alters patients’ knee kinematics during gait, using a rapid and simplified quantitative two-dimensional gait analysis procedure. methods: two-dimensional kinematic gait pattern of 10 participants were collected before and after the tkr surgery, using a ...
