TL;DR: In this article, the authors give an overview of some of the recent efforts to develop motion planning methods for humanoid robots for application tasks involving navigation, object grasping and manipulation, footstep placement, and dynamically-stable full-body motions.
Abstract: Humanoid robotics hardware and control techniques have advanced rapidly during the last five years. Presently, several companies have announced the commercial availability of various humanoid robot prototypes. In order to improve the autonomy and overall functionality of these robots, reliable sensors, safety mechanisms, and general integrated software tools and techniques are needed. We believe that the development of practical motion planning algorithms and obstacle avoidance software for humanoid robots represents an important enabling technology. This paper gives an overview of some of our recent efforts to develop motion planning methods for humanoid robots for application tasks involving navigation, object grasping and manipulation, footstep placement, and dynamically-stable full-body motions. We show experimental results obtained by implementations running within a simulation environment as well as on actual humanoid robot hardware.

TL;DR: The factors which determine the antioxidant capacity of vitamin E are discussed, and the importance of its localization and mobility in the membranes and lipoproteins is emphasized.
Abstract: Vitamin E is the major lipophilic, radical-scavenging antioxidant in vivo and protects humans from the oxidative stress mediated by active oxygen and nitrogen species. The mechanisms of the inhibition of oxidation by vitamin E in vitro are now fairly well understood, but the dynamics of antioxidant action of vitamin E in vivo have not been well elucidated yet, primarily because of the inherent heterogeneity of biological systems. In this Account, the factors which determine the antioxidant capacity of vitamin E are discussed, and the importance of its localization and mobility in the membranes and lipoproteins is emphasized.

TL;DR: Initial work on GridRPC shows that client access to existing grid computing systems such as NetSolve and Ninf can be unified via a common API, a task that has proven to be problematic in the past.
Abstract: This paper discusses preliminary work on standardizing and implementing a remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism for grid computing. The GridRPC API is designed to address the lack of a standardized, portable, and simple programming interface. Our initial work on GridRPC shows that client access to existing grid computing systems such as NetSolve and Ninf can be unified via a common API, a task that has proven to be problematic in the past.

21 May 2001TL;DR: Using a real-time control method based on 3D-LIPM, the Meltran V robot successfully demonstrated 3D dynamic walking without the use of any prepared trajectories.
Abstract: Meltran V, a new biped robot with telescopic legs, is introduced. For 3D walking control of the robot we analyze the dynamics of a three-dimensional inverted pendulum in which motion is constrained to move along an arbitrarily defined plane. From this analysis we obtain simple linear dynamics, the three-dimensional linear inverted pendulum mode (3D-LIPM). Using a real-time control method based on 3D-LIPM, the Meltran V robot successfully demonstrated 3D dynamic walking without the use of any prepared trajectories.
