This article surveys traditional research topics in industrial robotics and mobile then expands on new trends that focus more the interaction between human robot. The have been denominated service because of their general goal getting robots closer to social needs, this such as medical robotics, rehabilitation underwater field construction humanoid robotics. aim is provide an overview evolution from classical motion control for modern intelligent techniques learning paradigms, among other aspects.
Abstract. Due to the major role of sun in heating earth's surface, atmospheric planetary boundary layer over land is inherently marked by a diurnal cycle. The afternoon transition, period day that connects daytime dry convective night-time stable layer, still has number unanswered scientific questions. This phase cycle challenging from both modelling and observational perspectives: it transitory, most forcings are small or null turbulence regime changes fully convective, close homogeneous...
The atmosphere plays a fundamental role in the transport of microbes across planet but it is often neglected as microbial habitat. Although ocean represents two thirds Earth's surface, there little information on atmospheric load over open ocean. Here we provide global estimate loads and air-sea exchanges tropical subtropical oceans based data collected along Malaspina 2010 Circumnavigation Expedition. Total airborne prokaryotes eukaryotes were estimated at 2.2 × 1021 2.1 cells,...
Background Depression and anxiety are common in diabetic patients; however, recent years the frequency of these symptoms has markedly increased worldwide. Therefore, it is necessary to establish factors associated with depression anxiety, since they can be responsible for premature morbidity, mortality, risk developing comorbidities, complications, suffering patients, as well escalation costs. We studied Mexican outpatients type 2 diabetes identified anxiety. Methods Findings performed a...
After Landsat 8 was launched in 2013, it observed that for Thermal Infrared sensor (TIRS) bands, radiance from outside of an instrument’s field-of-view produced a non-uniform ghost signal across the focal plane varied depending on out-of-scene content (i.e., stray light effect). A new correction algorithm (SLCA) is currently operational and has been implemented into United States Geological Survey (USGS) ground system since February 2017. The SLCA also applied to reprocess historical scenes....
Abstract A simulation with the Méso-NH model over island of Mallorca, Spain, has been made in a case synoptic high pressure (5 June 2010) that allowed development sea breezes (SB) three main basins island. The results compare well to available observations and are qualitatively very close previous idealized study no forcing by Ramis Romero 1995. temporal spatial structure SB southeastern basin is analyzed use momentum, temperature, turbulence kinetic energy budgets provided numerical model....
Abstract. The effect of terrain heterogeneities in one-point measurements is a continuous subject discussion. Here we focus on the order magnitude advection term equation evolution temperature as generated by documented and estimate its importance surface energy budget (SEB), for which turbulent fluxes are computed using eddy-correlation method. estimated from satellite model fields scales near 1 km or broader, while smaller through direct with remotely piloted aircraft thermal cameras also...
Abstract Land‐surface–atmosphere interactions determine atmospheric boundary‐layer (ABL) features, and in the case of semi‐arid regions water availability root‐zone layer is a major factor. To explore this issue, Land‐surface Interactions with Atmosphere over Iberian Semi‐arid Environment (LIAISE) initiative organized an observational campaign Eastern Ebro River sub‐basin summer 2021, focusing on effect surface heterogeneities ABL environment enclosing large irrigated area. With aim...
Abstract The Diurnal Land–Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (DICE) aims to explore the complex interactions between land surface and atmospheric boundary layer, which are generally not well understood difficult isolate in models. project involves over 10 different models, combining expertise from both land‐surface boundary‐layer modelling groups. A simple three‐stage methodology is designed assess land–atmosphere feedbacks. Stage 1: individual components assessed isolation, driven evaluated...
Abstract A steady-state low-level jet observed in the Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer Experiment Spain-1998 (SABLES-98) campaign is simulated using a large-eddy simulation model. The radiation taken into account since its contribution to budget of tendency temperature as important turbulence surface layer. resulting regime two-layer flow separated by change gradient at level maximum speed. upper part has originated shear production extending up 3 times height wind and same order magnitude...
Abstract In numerical models of the climate system and in other applications, surface energy budget is usually considered closed, allowing for estimation missing terms as residual others. Real measurements this show significant uncertainties values each flux imbalances that range between 5% more than 50%, shown recent literature. article, a derivation equation from prognostic temperature presented hypotheses are discussed. Minor terms, which neglected, such tendency or advection, estimated....
Abstract A mesoscale simulation for the island of Majorca, Spain, in western Mediterranean Sea is used to study nocturnal system winds under weak synoptic pressure gradients. very high vertical resolution first 500 m above ground level characterize with large detail thin circulations close ground, namely, basin and katabatic flows. It found that island, basin, slope scales interact strongly, especially when a quasi-steady state reached second part night. mountain range creates area upwind...
The retrieval of land surface temperature (LST) from remote sensing techniques has been studied and validated during the past 40 years, leading to important improvements. Accurate LST values are currently obtained through measurements using medium resolution thermal infrared (TIR) sensors. However, most recent review reports demonstrated that future TIR products need obtain reliable at a high spatial (100 m or higher) study variations between different elements in heterogeneous kilometric...
Land Surface Temperature (LST) as provided by remote sensing onboard satellites is a key parameter for number of applications in Earth System studies, such numerical modelling or regional estimation surface energy and water fluxes. In the case Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra Aqua, pixels have resolutions near 1 km 2 , LST values being an average real subpixel variability LST, which can be significant heterogeneous terrain. Here, we use Landsat 7 decametre-scale...
This study on cold‐air pool formation in the wide Cerdanya Valley Pyrenees mountain range was conducted using available observational information from September 2010 to August 2014. Cold‐air pools occur during almost 60% of nights, mainly winter. Cold develop even under significant synoptic pressure gradients. Additionally, drainage currents transporting air down‐valley most nights. In particular one representative event has been analysed detail by a high‐resolution mesoscale simulation,...
Abstract Discontinuous gaits for walking machines have not yet been properly studied. Research has focused on the investigation, comprehension, and mathematical formulation of natural gaits. These feature fact that body is in constant motion. The results significant, but they seem more adequate animals than machines. On other hand, discontinuous gaits, executed by under extreme conditions, exhibit excellent attributes implementation This article presents a comparative study continuous with...
Humans show emotion through different channels such as facial expression, head poses, gaze patterns, bodily gestures, and speech prosody, but also physiological signals skin color changes. The concentration levels of hemoglobin blood oxygenation under the vary due to changes in a person's emotional physical state, this produces subtle hue saturation components their color. In paper, we present an evaluation only feature infer state person. We created dataset spontaneous human emotions with...
Abstract. Observations of turbulence are analysed for the afternoon and evening transition (AET) during Boundary-Layer Late Afternoon Sunset Turbulence (BLLAST) experimental field campaign that took place in Lannemezan (foothills Pyrenees) summer 2011. The case 2 July is further studied because properties lower atmosphere (up to 300 m above ground level) were sampled with Meteorological Mini Aerial Vehicle (M2AV) from turbulently mixed stably stratified atmospheric conditions. Additionally,...
