The present investigation describes a formulative study for the development of innovative drug delivery systems for bromocriptine. Methods. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) based on different lipidic components have been produced and characterized. Morphology and dimensional distribution have been investigated by electron microscopy and Photon Correlation Spectroscopy. The antiparkinsonian activities of free bromocriptine and bromocriptine encapsulated in nanostructured lipid carriers were evaluated in 6-hydroxydopamine hemilesioned rats, a model of Parkinson's disease. Results. Tristearin/tricaprin mixture resulted in nanostructured lipid carriers with stable mean diameter up to 6 months from production. Bromocriptine was encapsulated with high entrapment efficiency in all of the SLN samples, particularly in the case of tristearin/tricaprin mixture. Bromocriptine encapsulation did not change nanoparticle dimensions. In vitro release kinetics based on a dialysis method demonstrated that bromocriptine was released in a prolonged fashion for 48 h. Tristearin/tricaprin nanoparticles better controlled bromocriptine release. Both free and encapsulated bromocriptine reduced the time spent on the blocks (i.e. attenuated akinesia) in the bar test, although the action of encapsulated bromocriptine was more rapid in onset and prolonged. Conclusions. It can be concluded that nanostructured lipid carriers encapsulation may represent an effective strategy to prolong the half-life of bromocriptine. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

Volume: DallaLibera F.; Minato T.; Ishiguro H.; Menegatti E. Pages: DallaLibera||Minato||Ishiguro||Menegatti-Controlling robots by Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) is a widespread bio-inspired technique for the realization of robot motions. The numerous parameters of the CPGs, often specialized for a specific task, are usually set by automatic techniques like genetic algorithms or policy gradient. However, using these approaches leaves the users with little control on the resulting motion, which can be modified only by changing the evaluation function. Conversely manually setting each parameter gives the user full control over the motion, but identifying which parameters should be altered to obtain a desired effect is not intuitive and therefore developing motion requires time and effort. We present a system that allows programming the CPG parameters by interacting with the robot and in particular by intuitively touching the robot, giving the user full control on the resulting motion without requiring a direct modification of the parameter values. ©2009 IEEE.

Once these motions are considered satisfactory, they are stored in the robot's memory and played according to a high level behavioral strategy. Much time is spent in the development of the movements, and despite the significant progress made in humanoid soccer robots, the interfaces employed for the development of motions are still quite primitive. In order to accelerate development, an intuitive instruction method is desired. We propose the development of robot motions through physical interaction. In this paper we propose a "teaching by touching" approach; the human operator teaches a motion by directly touching the robot's body parts like a dance instructor. Teaching by directly touching is intuitive for instructors. However, the robot needs to interpret the instructor's intention since tactile communication can be ambiguous. This paper presents a method to learn the interpretation of the touch meaning and investigates, through experiments, a general (shared among different users) and intuitive touch manner. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Volume: Pretto A.; Menegatti E.; Takahashi M.; Suzuki T.; Pagello E. Pages: Pretto||Menegatti||Takahashi||Suzuki||Pagello-In this paper, we present a framework for 3D visual odometry applied to a hospital-use transfer robot equipped with an omni-drive system. The approach is based on features extracted out of and matched in monocular image sequences. We propose a new feature detection and tracking scheme robust to motion blur and well suitable in environment, as a hospital, where the local features are sparse and not much distinctive. Moreover, this approach match very well the omnidirectional drive robot for two reasons: the poorly reliable odometry of this drive system and the brisk jerks these robots experience when they cross an uneven floor. Experiments performed on a relatively long path in an indoor environment with repetitive patterns and sparse local features show the effectiveness of the proposed technique in reliably extracting and matching features and in the generation of a correct visual odometry. Results are obtained without the aid of any external sensors other than the robot's low-cost camera. We also presents a performance evaluation of the proposed features detection-descriptor scheme. © 2009 IEEE.
