Influence of Oxidized Graphene Quantum Dots as Photosensitizers.

In this study, we successfully prepared oxidatively functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) to engineer the absorption band of a photoanode. By employing a facile hydrothermal process, we demonstrate the degree of intrinsic oxidation at the polar carbene edges of the GQDs, using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The cyclic voltammetry results show that oxygen functional groups on the GQDs can change the highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital levels.

Biomimetic walking trajectory generation of humanoid robot on an inclined surface using Fourier series.

This article describes a novel method to generate a biomimetic walking trajectory for a biped humanoid robot on an inclined surface. We assume that the configuration of the inclined surface is known, and we solve the human-like walking trajectory generation problem by obtaining the solution from the desired zero moment point (ZMP) trajectory to the center of gravity (CoG) trajectory. We present an analytic solution for the walking trajectory generation by using Fourier series.
