Obstacle recognition and elimination method for humanoid robots based on point cloud processing by Naigong YU, Qiusheng XIE, Hongzheng LI

“…The average relative error in height is reduced to approximately 25% of that when obstacles are present, whereas the overall perception error decreases to about 50% of the error observed with obstacles. These findings highlight the profound impact obstacles have on stair perception and demonstrate that removing them substantially enhances the accuracy of stair parameter estimation.…”

Altered Toll-Like Receptor Signalling in Children with Down Syndrome by Dean Huggard, W. J. Koay, Lynne Kelly, Fiona McGrane, Emer Ryan, Niamh Lagan, Edna Roche, Joanne Balfe, T. Ronan Leahy, Orla Franklin, Ana Moreno-Oliveira, Ashanty M. Melo, Derek G. Doherty, Eleanor J. Molloy

“…We evaluated TLR pathways in 3 ways: determining the expression of TLR2 on the surface of neutrophils and monocytes by flow cytometry, examining the gene expression of key regulatory proteins involved in TLR signal propagation, MyD88, IRAK4, and TRIF, by quantitative PCR, and lastly determining the cytokine production by ELISA following immunomodulation with proinflammatory stimuli (lipopolysaccharide (LPS), Pam3Csk4) and the anti-inflammatory agent SsnB. We report TLR2 expression being significantly increased on neutrophils, total monocytes, and intermediate and nonclassical monocytes in children with DS (n=20, mean age 8.8±SD 5.3 years, female n=11) compared to controls (n=15, mean age 6.2±4.2 years, female n=5). …”
