The goal of this study is to realize a biped humanoid robot as a human motion simulator; where a biped humanoid robot having an ability to mimic various human motions is used for testing welfare apparatuses. In this paper, a humanoid robot, WABIAN-2R, capable of not only human-like walking but also the emulation of disabled personspsila walking is proposed. It has two 6-DOF legs, two 1-DOF feet, a...
PageChaser is a system that monitors links between Web pages and searches for the new locations of moved Web pages when it finds broken links. The problem of searching for moved pages is different from typical information retrieval problems. First, it is impossible to identify the final destination until the page is actually moved, so the index-server approach is not necessarily effective. Secondly,...
Wrapping of Web sources is known to be one of the key tasks in information integration problems. This paper proposes Wraplet, a wrapping language for extracting structured data from Web contents written in HTML. Unlike existing solutions, Wraplet is designed as a lightweight language in which users can write scripts for wrapping easily with text editors. Its simple syntax and the library of useful...
A humanoid robot, WABIAN-2R, capable of human-like walk with stretched knees and heel-contact and toe-off motions is proposed in this paper. WABIAN-2R has two 1-DOF passive joints in its feet to enable it to bend its toes in steady walking. Further, it has two 6-DOF legs, a 2-DOF pelvis, a 2-DOF trunk, two 7-DOF arms with 3-DOF hands, and a 3-DOF neck. In addition, a new algorithm for generating walking...
A new humanoid robot-WABIAN-2- that can be used as a human motion simulator is proposed in this paper. Its trunk is designed in order to permit rotation, and forward, backward, and sideway movement. Further, its arms are designed to support its complete weight when pushing a walk-assist machine. Moreover, it can lean on a walk-assist machine by forearm control using trunk motion. Basic walking experiments...
Today, more and more people in knowledge communities, like research laboratories, use shared file servers to store and share their information. People in such communities often work together and their files stored in a file server have relationships with each other. Information on the relationships is usually exchanged offline and used implicitly to facilitate the management and sharing of the files...

A new humanoid robot capable of various motion is proposed in this paper, which has a 2 DOF waist and 2 DOF trunk. A new upper body mechanism is mounted on a leg machine, WABIAN2/LL, and a full scale humanoid robot, WABIAN-2, is constructed in this study. Its trunk is designed to bend forwards, backwards and sideways and rotate in combination with a 2-DOF waist. Also, the upper body is designed in...
Abstract. Studying monogenic hereditary disorders that manifest age-related phenotypes in cells, tissues, and the total organism would be helpful for clarifying the mechanisms of aging. In this context, seven human disorders that manifest age-related phenotypes have been found to be caused by aberrations of five proteins with seven helicase motifs conserved in most of the helicases. These disorders...
