  • IROS - Development of a talking robot with vocal cords and lips having human-like Biological Structures
    2005 IEEE RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2005
    Co-Authors: Kotaro Fukui, Kazufumi Nishikawa, Shunsuke Ikeo, Eiji Shintaku, Kentaro Takada, Masaaki Honda, Hideaki Takanobu, Atsuo Takanishi
    Abstract:

    We have developed a new talking robot, WT-5 (Waseda Talker No. 5), having novel vocal cords and lips based on human Biological Structures. The vocal cords are made from the thermoplastic rubber "Septon", available from Kuraray Co. Ltd, which has a similar elasticity to human tissue. The vocal cord model was constructed with a similar Structure to the Biological Structure of the human vocal cords. The vocal cords vibrated like those of a human. The new lips were able to attain a large deformation in a similar manner to human lips, without the leakage of air. This allowed clear pronunciation of vowels. With these new mechanisms, the robot could reproduce human speech in a more Biological manner and could produce voices closer to those of a human.

  • KES (3) - Development of a new vocal cords based on human Biological Structures for talking robot
    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2005

  • Density effect of gold nanodisks on the SERS intensity for a highly sensitive detection of chemical molecules
    Journal of Materials Science, 2015
    Co-Authors: Jean-francois Bryche, Mitradeep Sarkar, Gregory Barbillon, Raymond Gillibert, A Aassime, Julien Moreau, Anne-Lise Coutrot, Frédéric Hamouda, Marc Lamy De La Chapelle, Bernard Bartenlian
    Abstract:

    Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a sensitive and widely used as spectroscopic technique for chemical and Biological Structure analysis. One of the keys to increase the sensitivity of SERS sensors is to use nanoparticles/nanoStructures. Here, we report on the density effect of gold nanodisks on SERS intensity for a highly sensitive detection of chemical molecules. Various densities of gold nanodisks with a height of 30 nm on gold/glass substrate were fabricated by electron beam lithography in order to have a good uniformity and reproducibility. The evolution of the enhancement factor (EF) with nanodisk density was quantified and compared to numerical calculations. An EF as high as 2:6 Â 10 7 was measured for the nanodisk with a diameter of 110 nm and a periodicity of 150 nm which corresponds to the highest density (42.2 %).
