Introduction. The purpose of the paper is to test the hypothesis about the entry into the social interactions of actors of a special kind - devices with artificial intelligence. The author proposes to discuss a hypothesis about the emergenc...

Bearing Fault Analysis of BLDC Motor for Electric Scooter Application

In this paper, the bearing faults analysis of the brushless DC motor is presented. The research method is based on the analysis of the vibration signal of healthy as well as faulty bearings by the identification of specific frequencies on t...

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...

The advisor robot

Humanoid robots offer many physical design choices such as voice frequency and head dimensions. We used hierarchical statistical mediation analysis to trace differences in people's mental model of robots from these choices. In an experiment...

Effects of Robot Motion on Human-Robot Collaboration

Most motion in robotics is purely functional, planned to achieve the goal and avoid collisions. Such motion is great in isolation, but collaboration affords a human who is watching the motion and making inferences about it, trying to coordi...

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...

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...

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...

The Effect of Dry Friction upon the Dynamics of a Short Eccentric Rotor: An Analytical and Experimental Study

The paper proposes the study of dry friction by means of a short eccentric rotor. The rotor was designed and realised in the laboratory. In an ideal frictionless situation, a rotor actuated by gravity will have an angular velocity which inc...

When stereotypes meet robots: The double-edge sword of robot gender and personality in human–robot interaction

A history of robots: from science fiction to surgical robotics

Design and modelling of an anisotropic continuum robot end-effector for single-port access surgery suturing

Single port access surgery has brought many advantages and new challenges to the field of minimally invasive surgery. In principle, many of these challenges can be addressed through robotics. Continuum robots in particular have seen a surge...

Fast‐Tracker 2.0: Improving autonomy of aerial tracking with active vision and human location regression

Abstract In recent years, several progressive studies promote the development of aerial tracking. One of the representative studies is our previous work Fast‐Tracker which is applicable to various challenging tracking scenarios. However, it...

Snail-inspired water-enhanced soft sliding suction for climbing robots

Abstract Snails can stably slide across a surface with only a single high-payload sucker, offering an efficient adhesive locomotion mechanism for next-generation climbing robots. The critical factor for snails’ sliding suction behaviour is ...

ASPECTS OF THE REGULATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Artificial intelligence is increasingly influential in contemporary society. Isaac Asimov's seminal work, “I, Robot”, introduced the foundational robotic laws that have inspired both fictional and real-world discussions. This study examines...

Expansion and contraction of resource allocation in sensory bottlenecks

Topographic sensory representations often do not scale proportionally to the size of their input regions, with some expanded and others contracted. In vision, the foveal representation is magnified cortically, as are the fingertips in touch...

A Finite Element Model to Simulate Defect Formation during Friction Stir Welding

In this study, a 3D coupled thermo-mechanical finite element model is developed to predict and analyze the defect formation during friction stir welding based on coupled Eulerian Lagrangian method. The model is validated by comparing the es...

Anthropomorphic Interactions with a Robot and Robot–like Agent

People's physical embodiment and presence increase their salience and importance. We predicted people would anthropomorphize an embodied humanoid robot more than a robot–like agent, and a collocated more than a remote robot. A robot or robo...

Performance and Energy Consumption Analysis for UWSNs with Priority Scheduling Based on Access Probability and Wakeup Threshold

As advancements in autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technology unfold, the role of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) is becoming increasingly pivotal. However, the high energy consumption in these networks can significantly red...

An inexact multiple-recourse hybrid-fuel management model with considering carbon reduction requirement for a biofuel-penetrated heating system

In China’s goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2060, the blending-biofuel-based heating technique is being used to reduce CO2 and air-pollutant emissions in existing district heating systems in northern China. This brings a series of new ...
