RAPP: A Robotic-Oriented Ecosystem for Delivering Smart User Empowering Applications for Older People
No full textInternational audienceIt is a general truth that increase of age is associated with a level of mental and physical decline but unfortunately the former are often accompanied by social exclusion leading to marginalization and eventually further acceleration of the aging process. A new approach in alleviating the social exclusion of older people involves the use of assistive robots. As robots rapidly invade everyday life, the need of new software paradigms in order to address the user's unique needs becomes critical. In this paper we present a novel architectural design, the RAPP [a software platform to deliver smart, user empowering robotic applications (RApps)] framework that attempts to address this issue. The proposed framework has been designed in a cloud-based approach, integrating robotic devices and their respective applications. We aim to facilitate seamless development of RApps compatible with a wide range of supported robots and available to the public through a unified online store

The new species can be distinguished from other Scoloplax by the following unique features: ventral midline plates between the anus and caudal peduncle with two longitudinal parallel rows of odontodes not covered by skin; pectoral and pelvic fins with all rays simple, unbranched; larger specimens with odontodes in abdominal area between pelvic-fin bases and immediately anterior to genital papilla; mesethmoid with thickened triangular anterior process; and larger specimens with small odontodes on first and second pelvic-fin rays. Description. Morphometrics given in Table 1. Small size, 10.5- 17.2 mm SL. Head and body strongly depressed. Dorsal profile of head and predorsal area nearly straight except for shallow depression at posterior tip of rostral plate. Body profile straight between dorsal and caudal fins. Snout rounded in dorsal view. Head with series of odontodes forming lateral ridge from orbit to posterior pterotic-supracleithrum spine. Small bony plate located immediately lateral to lateral ethmoid and just anterior to orbit [“lateral ethmoid plate” sensu Schaefer (1990)] bearing three to five odontodes near posterior margin (Fig. 3). Rostral plate bearing 14-24 recurved odontodes. Eye dorsal and conspicuous. Mouth small, terminal. Maxillary barbel biramous, major ramus elongate, reaching base of pectoral-fin spine; minor ramus short, not reaching base of pectoral-fin spine. Mental barbel uniramous, origin anterior to gular fold and posterior to mandibular symphysis. Mandibular barbel uniramous, origin at corner of mouth. Small platelet at distal tip of rib on sixth vertebra bearing 3-16 small odontodes. Odontodes present on posterior coracoid process. Mesethmoid with a thickened triangular anterior process (Figs. 3, 4e). Four branchiostegal rays. Dorsal fin with spinelet, spine and three soft branched rays. Dorsal spine with small odontodes. Locking mechanism present. Pectoral fin with well-developed spine and four unbranched rays. Pectoral spine completely covered with small odontodes and with few small serrations along posterior margin from mid-length to distal tip; locking mechanism present.

Leucascus lobatus Rapp 2004
No full text<i>Leucascus lobatus</i> Rapp, 2004 <p> <i>Diagnosis:</i> Cortex composed of tripods with a fourth rudimentary actine. Skeleton of the tubes composed of triactines and tetractines with cylindrical actines.</p> <p> <i>Synonymies: Leucosolenia primordialis</i>: Brøndsted 1933: 4 (see Rapp 2004), <i>Leucascus lobatus</i>: Rapp 2004: 119.</p> <p> <i>Type material:</i> ZMUC POR-245 (Holotype; Kap Farvel (6007.7’N, 4417’W), Greenland; Kap Farvel Expedition; 08/08/1970; depth: 230 to 250 m; substratum composed of large stones).</p> <p> <i>Type locality:</i> Kap Farvel, Greenland.</p> <p> <i>Description:</i> Colour is white after fixation. The cormus is lobate and the oscula are surrounded by membrane. The surface is smooth and perforated by inhalant apertures (Figure 6 A). The tubes are tightly and regularly anastomosed. The atrial surface is smooth. Reproductive elements are present.</p> <p>Skeleton: The cortical membrane could be recognized only in some regions (Figure 6 B). The cortical skeleton is formed by tripods varying in size and organized in several layers. These spicules are exclusively cortical. Triactines with cylindrical actines are also present in the cortical skeleton, surrounding the inhalant apertures. The skeleton of the tubes is composed of triactines and tetractines with cylindrical actines. This last category of spicule projects the apical actine into the lumen of the tubes (Figure 6 C), but smooth tubes are also present. The atrial skeleton is composed of triactines and tetractines with cylindrical actines.</p> <p> <i>Spicules</i> (Table 4):</p> <p> (<i>i</i>) Tripods (Figure 6 D): Regular and variable in size. Actines are straight with blunt tips, but they are not stout as typical tripods. A fourth rudimentary actine is present;</p> <p> (<i>ii</i>) Triactines (Figure 6 E): Regular, except around the inhalant apertures where they are sagittal. Actines are cylindrical, straight, and with blunt or sharp tips;</p> <p> (<i>iii</i>) Tetractines (Figure 6 E): Similar to the triactines, but with an apical actine that is shorter than the basal ones and ornamented with small spines (Figure 6 F).</p> <p> <i>Remarks:</i> According to Rapp (2004), tetractines are also present in the cortical skeleton of <i>L. lobatus</i>, but in the present work these spicules were found only in the skeleton of the tubes and atrium, suggesting that they are not regularly distributed in the cortex of the sponge. Moreover, the occurrence of triactines around the inhalant apertures and the presence of spines in the apical actine of the tetractines are here described for the first time. <i>Leucascus leptoraphis</i> is the most similar species to <i>L. lobatus</i>. Both of them present skeleton composed of triactines and tetractines with cylindrical actines, and tripods. Nevertheless, <i>L. leptoraphis</i> and <i>L. lobatus</i> can be easily differentiated mainly based on the shape of the cormus, spicule size, and abundance of tetractines (which is high in <i>L. lobatus</i> and rare in <i>L. leptoraphis</i>). The presence of tripods with a fourth rudimentary actine is also exclusive of <i>L. lobatus.</i></p> <p> <i>Distribution:</i> North Atlantic: <i>Leucascus lobatus</i> is endemic to Greenland: Julianehåb Bank (Brøndsted 1933), Kap Farvel (6007.7’N, 4417’W; 6015’N, 4417’W; 6004,5’N, 4302.7’W), Tjalfe station (6506’N, 5419’W), Godthaab station (6022’N, 4727’W), East of Greenland (7040’N, 22W), and Thule station (7634,5’N, 6924,5’W) (Rapp 2004).
