New Joint Design to Create a More Natural and Efficient Biped by Giuseppina Gini, Umberto Scarfogliero, Michele Folgheraiter

“…Starting from the analysis of the human lower limbs, we figured out which features of the human legs are fundamental for a correct walking motion, and can be adopted in the mechanical design of a humanoid robot. …”

Research on Gait Recognition Based on GaitSet and Multimodal Fusion by Xiling Shi, Wenqiang Zhao, Huandou Pei, Hongru Zhai, Yongxia Gao

“…However, individual differences, such as changes in physical condition, and environmental variability, such as differences in lighting, can impact its accuracy. Based on the information derived from the gait contour sequence during walking (such as temporal and spatial information), this study proposes an improved gait recognition method based on the GaitSet model, which improves video-based gait recognition performance by combining gait energy images and silhouette images to form a multimodal representation. …”

Grazing regime rather than grazing intensity affect the foraging behavior of cattle by You Wang, Rui Yu, Xin Li, Ronghao Chen, Jiahui Liu

“…The main findings were: (1) the XGBoost classification model has outperformed the others models, with an average accuracy of 0.947; (2) grazing intensity only significantly affected standing behaviors, while grazing regime significantly influenced foraging, walking, standing, ruminating, and resting behaviors; (3) increased grazing intensity had led to a larger proportion of areas with declining normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in the study area; however, the proportion of areas with increased NDVI was consistently higher in rotationally grazed regions compared to that of continuously grazed areas; (4) The changes in NDVI were significantly positively correlated with foraging probability in continuously grazed plots; however, NDVI changes in lightly grazed rotational areas had a weak correlation with foraging probability. …”
