Anthropomorphism and Human Likeness in the Design of Robots and Human-Robot Interaction

Designing Sociable Robots

Cynthia Breazeal here presents her vision of the sociable robot of the future, a synthetic creature and not merely a sophisticated tool. A sociable robot will be able to understand us, to communicate and interact with us, to learn from us a...

Characterization of Wing Kinematics by Decoupling Joint Movement in the Pigeon

Birds have remarkable flight capabilities due to their adaptive wing morphology. However, studying live birds is time-consuming and laborious, and obtaining information about the complete wingbeat cycle is difficult. To address this issue a...

Multi-channel transorbital electrical stimulation for effective stimulation of posterior retina

Abstract Transorbital electrical stimulation (tES) has been studied as a new noninvasive method for treating intractable eye diseases by delivering weak electrical current to the eye through a pair of electrodes attached to the skin around ...

Iterative Learning Method for In-Flight Auto-Tuning of UAV Controllers Based on Basic Sensory Information

With an increasing number of multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), solutions supporting the improvement in their precision of operation and safety of autonomous flights are gaining importance. They are particularly crucial in transpor...

Comparative Analysis of Deep Natural Networks and Large Language Models for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment analysis is essential for comprehending public opinion, particularly when considering e-commerce and the expansion of online businesses. Early approaches treated sentiment analysis as a document or sentence-level classification pr...

Dentists’ perception and use of AI and robotics in the care of persons with disabilities

Abstract Despite the growing role of AI and robotics in healthcare, little is known about their integration into dental care for persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to assess dentists’ perceptions and attitude...

Data-Driven Clustering Analysis for Representative Electric Vehicle Charging Profile in South Korea

As the penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) increases, an understanding of EV operation characteristics becomes crucial in various aspects, e.g., grid stability and battery degradation. This can be achieved through analyzing large amounts...

PZT Ferroelectric Synapse TFT With Multi-Level of Conductance State for Neuromorphic Applications

To fundamentally solve the bottleneck of Von Neumann’s computing architecture, a neuromorphic thin-film transistor (NTFT) employing Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 (PZT) was investigated. The indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) channel back gate TFT struc...

Principles of robotics: regulating robots in the real world

This paper proposes a set of five ethical principles, together with seven high-level messages, as a basis for responsible robotics. The Principles of Robotics were drafted in 2010 and published online in 2011. Since then the principles have...

Transparent, explainable, and accountable AI for robotics

To create fair and accountable AI and robotics, we need precise regulation and better methods to certify, explain, and audit inscrutable systems....

A commentary of Remote everything in MIT Technology Review 2021

Remote technology refers to applications that rely on wireless/wired network communication technology to enable the effective interconnection of multiple terminals distributed in different geographical locations, which helps to achieve effe...

Evolution of prehension ability in an anthropomorphic neurorobotic arm

In this paper, we show how a simulated anthropomorphic robotic arm controlled by an artificial neural network can develop effective reaching and grasping behaviour through a trial and error process in which the free parameters encode the co...

Modeling the Dynamics of Two Cooperating Robots

The paper presents a description of the dynamics of two mobile robots cooperating in the transport of a bulky load in the form of a beam. The purpose of modeling such a system was to obtain a mathematical model in an appropriate form. Lagra...

Real-time obstacle avoidance of mobile robots using state-dependent Riccati equation approach

Abstract In this paper, state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) method-based optimal control technique is applied to a robot. In recent years, issues associated with the robotics have become one of the developing fields of research. Accordi...

Effects of gait support in patients with spinocerebellar degeneration by a wearable robot based on synchronization control

Abstract Background Spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) mainly manifests a cerebellar ataxic gait, leading to marked postural sway and the risk of falling down. Gait support using a wearable robot is expected to be an effective solution to m...

Statistical Inter-stimulus Interval Window Estimation for Transient Neuromodulation via Paired Mechanical and Brain Stimulation

For achieving motor recovery in individuals with sensorimotor deficits, augmented activation of the appropriate sensorimotor system, and facilitated induction of neural plasticity are essential. An emerging procedure that combines periphera...
