Design of a Behavior of Robot That Attracts the Interest of the Mildly Demented Elderly.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this study, using the unexpected intervention overturning the interaction amount of the field and the mental model, an interaction of a robot system that enables sustained nonverbal communication with the mildly demented elderly was proposed and i...

Brief Report: Evaluation of an Intelligent Learning Environment for Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Journal of autism and developmental disorders
Researchers are increasingly attempting to develop and apply innovative technological platforms for early detection and intervention of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This pilot study designed and evaluated a novel technologically-mediated intellige...

Robotic surgery and its impact on teamwork in the operating theatre.

Journal of perioperative practice
Effective teamwork in the operating theatre is important for safe patient care. In robotic surgery, the surgeon is physically separated from the operating theatre team, which could potentially have an impact on teamwork. With robotic surgery increasi...

Converting Text to Structured Models of Healthcare Services.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The paper presents a concise method for transforming textual representations of healthcare services, to a structured, semantically unambiguous modelling language. The method is designed based on literature, as well as trial and error by the authors, ...

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Make a Fruit Salad with Probo, the Social Robot: An Interaction Study.

Journal of autism and developmental disorders
Social robots are thought to be motivating tools in play tasks with children with autism spectrum disorders. Thirty children with autism were included using a repeated measurements design. It was investigated if the children's interaction with a huma...

Robot Lies in Health Care: When Is Deception Morally Permissible?

Kennedy Institute of Ethics journal
Autonomous robots are increasingly interacting with users who have limited knowledge of robotics and are likely to have an erroneous mental model of the robot's workings, capabilities, and internal structure. The robot's real capabilities may diverge...

Impulsive stabilization and impulsive synchronization of discrete-time delayed neural networks.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
This paper investigates the problems of impulsive stabilization and impulsive synchronization of discrete-time delayed neural networks (DDNNs). Two types of DDNNs with stabilizing impulses are studied. By introducing the time-varying Lyapunov functio...
