Dependability of Mobile Robots in Direct Interaction with Humans
Operating interactive mobile robots in unmodified natural environments such as in museums or at exposition areas impose requirements on the robots,... -
Next Generation Teach Pendants for Industrial Robots
Teach pendants for industrial robots have sometimes been quite rudimentary in the past, and often enough users had to learn to cope with whatever is... -
4 Co-existence: Physical Interaction and Coordinated Motion
Co-existence an co-operation between a human and a machine which can move and act in an autonomous mode involves a form of interaction which goes... -
The Robotic Bar – An Integrated Demonstration of a Robotic Assistant
Coming out of the labs, the first robots are currently appearing on the consumer market. Initially they target rather simple application scenarios... -
Learning Behavioral Sequences by Means of Nonlinear Dynamics
We present a software architecture for the behavioral organization of a mobile robot which is entirely based on nonlinear dynamical systems. The... -
The Control Architecture of Care-O-bot II
Robot assistants act in dynamic environments and have to cope with changing situations: they must be able to sense the world and to control their... -
Robotic Home Assistant Care-O-bot II
Technical aids allow elderly and handicapped people to live independently in their private homes as long as they wish. As a contribution to these... -
Statistical Recognition of Motion Patterns
One key prerequisite for a machine to interact intelligently with people is its ability to recognize humans as interaction partners and to understand... -
Phase behavior of phytanyl-chained akylglycoside/water systems
The aqueous phase behavior of novel alkylglycosides, AGs, that have a 3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecyl (phytanyl) group as their hydrophobic part was... -
Adsolubilization by mixtures of ionic and non-ionic surfactants
The adsolubilization of 2-naphthol by surfactant mixtures of ionic and non-ionic surfactants has been investigated for three systems; sodium dodecyl... -
Salt-induced aggregation in cationic liposome suspensions
The simple salt-induced aggregation of small unilamellar dioleoyltrimethylammoniumpropane [DOTAP] vesicles is investigated by measuring the change in... -
Enzymatic activity of lipase entrapped in CTAB/water/pentanol/hexane reverse micelles: a functional and microstructural investigation
The lipase VII (from Candida rugosa) activity was studied as a function of the content of pentanol and water in cethyltrimethylammonium bromide... -
Perfluoropolyether carboxylic salts in micellar solution and O/W microemulsions
High purity laboratory-scale samples of Cl(C3F6O) n CF2COOX salts are examined for their micellization in water, with n... -
5. Simulation of Active and Nonlinear Photonic Nano-Materials in the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) Framework
A numerical method is presented that unites three-dimensional finite-differnce time-domain (FDTD) computer simulations of active, nonlinear photonic... -
13. Parallel Implementation Strategiesfor Algorithms from Scientific Computing
Many applications from scientific computing are computationally intensive and can therefore benefit from a realization on a parallel or a distributed... -
Probe entrapment by vesicular systems in relation with the properties of the amphiphilic film
Two different vesicular systems were investigated as regards their ability to substantially retain a hydrophilic probe. The first system was a series... -
Self-assembly of homogeneous systems
The circle packings including non-periodic packings can be analysed for physical and thermodynamic stability for a triangular net with T 4=3–6... -
Specific ion effects: why colloid science has failed to contribute to biology
Surface tension of salt solutions and double layer forces between charged interfaces show marked specific ion effects not accommodated by the... -

Encapsulation of alkaline phosphatase in polyacrylamide microparticles using the concentrated emulsion polymerisation method
Polyacrylamide microparticles were prepared by the concentrated emulsion polymerisation technique. In distilled water the microparticles have...
