Using the Functional Reach Test for Probing the Static Stability of Bipedal Standing in Humanoid Robots Based on the Passive Motion Paradigm by Jacopo Zenzeri, Dalia De Santis, Vishwanathan Mohan, Maura Casadio, Pietro Morasso

“…The goal of this paper is to analyze the static stability of a computational architecture, based on the Passive Motion Paradigm, for coordinating the redundant degrees of freedom of a humanoid robot during whole-body reaching movements in bipedal standing. The analysis is based on a simulation study that implements the Functional Reach Test, originally developed for assessing the danger of falling in elderly people. …”

Comment la connaissance de la diversité posturo-locomotrice des primates a-t-elle transformé la compréhension de celle des hominines ? by Mathilde Lequin, François Marchal

“…In recent decades, the way paleoanthropologists conceive of bipedalism has changed considerably. If bipedalism was once thought to be a unique characteristic, specific to the hominin lineage and marking its origin, the hypothesis of its anatomical and behavioral diversity, envisaged since the 1960s, is now widely accepted. …”

Présence du futur en danse contemporaine (devenirs hybrides et rêves cybernétiques) by Anne Pellus

“…In light of these three scenic works, we’ll wonder to what extend science fiction and anticipation stimulate the invention of brand new bodies, by the subversion of human being’s relation to gravity or bipedalism (extraterrestrial corporeities), or by the hybridisation of human bodies dealing with machines (cyber corporeities).…”

Human lineage mutations regulate RNA-protein binding of conserved genes NTRK2 and ITPR1 involved in human evolution by Min Zhao, Weichen Song, Shunying Yu, Wenxiang Cai, Guan Ning Lin

“…Among these genes, NTRK2 and ITPR1 had the most aggregated evidence of functional importance, suggesting their essential roles in cognition and bipedalism.Conclusions Our findings suggest that a small subset of human-specific mutations have contributed to human speciation through impacts on post-transcriptional modification of critical brain-related genes.…”
