Traditional humanoid robots are complex machines whose practical uses are yet limited due to their prohibitive complexity, cost, slow speed, and lack of stability. This video presents an experimental feasibility study on a novel bipedal robot concept and prototype that takes inspiration from humanoids but features fundamental differences that drastically improve its agility and stability while reducing...
Robots are often associated with being heavy, mechanized metal objects. In fact, most current legged robots are unsafe, unstable, complex, expensive, and slow. The risks, inefficiencies, and danger involved prevents their widespread use and interaction with humans. This video presents the initial feasibility study and testing done on BALLU (Buoyancy Assisted Lightweight Legged Unit). BALLU is a robotic...
This paper presents a novel bipedal robot concept and prototype that takes inspiration from humanoids but features fundamental differences that drastically improve its agility and stability while reducing its complexity and cost. This Non-Anthropomorphic Bipedal Robotic System (NABiRoS) modifies the traditional bipedal form by aligning the legs in the sagittal plane and adding a compliance to the...
Social networks are valuable resources for analyzing users' natural behavior. User profile information, social links and interchanging opinions among users in these networks can be used by social analyzers to discover mental and behavioral patterns of users in social networks. In this paper, news agencies are used as the social media to detect effective factors of diffusing contents in public. We...
Since the appearance of learning management systems, establishing a fair and precise mechanism to assess learning activities has been a challenging issue. Evaluation of group's work in blended learning environments which these systems are used can be a more complicated task due to implicit factors affecting result of final group's work, like degree of members' enthusiasm or their social relations...
