TL;DR: The mechanical features of THE AUTHORS-4RII, the emotion expression humanoid robot developed by integrating the new humanoid robot hands RCH-1 (RoboCasa Hand No.1) into the emotion Expression humanoid robot THEY- 4R, are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, Raman spectra were measured for poly(L-histidine)-d2 and -d3 in D2O, poly(lhistidine-d3)-d4 in H2O and 4-methylimidazole-d1 and d2 in H 2O with various pH (or pD) values, and the vibrational modes of these peaks were deduced from the normal coordinate analysis made on the positively charged and neutral 4-ethylimidine groups.

TL;DR: In this article, the carboxylate antisymmetric stretching vibration (νas(COO-)) was used to indicate changes in the coordination and/or association states of the carboxesylate groups.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used density functional theory to analyze the THz spectra of polylactide and showed that the 50 cm-1 absorption peak is due to normal-mode molecular vibrations parallel to the molecular helix.

TL;DR: A new bipedal walking robot, named KOBIAN, which is also capable to express human-like emotions and the presence of a full body clearly enhances the emotion expression capability of the robot, thus proving the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
