The paper makes a case for expanding the range of words that Computing With Words typically considers to, eventually, all the words in a natural language, thus accounting accurately for the inherent vagueness of natural language meaning and creating an overlap with computational semantics. The claim is illustrated with examples of a few English nouns and verbs rather than the usual adjectives and...
This paper introduces a method of enhancing an unattended ground sensor (UGS) system's classification capability of humans via seismic signatures while subsequently discriminating these events from a range of other sources of seismic activity. Previous studies have been performed to consistently discriminate between human and animal signatures using cadence analysis. The studies performed herein will...
Conservation of wild animals needs adaptive management which is a systematic process for continually improving management policies and practices by learning from monitoring results. However, there is not enough the population size information of large-sized mammals because of their large habitat area. Thus, it is expected to estimate population densities of large-sized mammals using remote sensing...
In the field of pet robots and robot-assisted therapy (RAT), characterization of animal motion is important for the development of robots resembling various animals. This paper presents a method for the generation of animal gait in quadrupedal robots. In this study, we employed AIBO as an experimental quadrupedal robot and generated the gait of the robot on the basis of an animal's gait. In the previous...
This paper presents the design and development of a novel biomimetic quadruped robot for behavior studies of rats and mice. Many studies have been performed using these animals for the purpose of understanding human mind in psychology, pharmacology and brain science. In these fields, several experiments on social interactions have been performed using rats as basic studies of mental disorders or social...
Partitioning locomotor metabolic rates into resting and locomotor components is a common practice that has both basic and applied value. Here, we evaluated the quantitative influence of the specific baseline value subtracted (quiet standing vs. resting metabolic rates) from the gross metabolic rates measured during walking. We quantified resting, standing and gross metabolic rates during horizontal...

This paper presents a method for the generation of animal gait in quadrupedal robots. In this study, we employed AIBO as an experimental quadrupedal robot and generated the gait of the robot on the basis of an animal's gait. First, we...
In the field of the pet robot and robot assisted therapy (RAT), the creatural motion is important for the robots imitated the form of various animals. This paper presents the generation method of animal gait for quadrupedal robot. Here, we have employed AIBO as experimental quadrupedal robot and created the gait of AIBO in imitation of animal gait. At first, We have optimized the orbit of mono-leg,...
