Phototactic guidance of a tissue-engineered soft-robotic ray.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Inspired by the relatively simple morphological blueprint provided by batoid fish such as stingrays and skates, we created a biohybrid system that enables an artificial animal--a tissue-engineered ray--to swim and phototactically follow a light cue. ...

Using robots to understand animal cognition.

Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior
In recent years, robotic animals and humans have been used to answer a variety of questions related to behavior. In the case of animal behavior, these efforts have largely been in the field of behavioral ecology. They have proved to be a useful tool ...

Use of Robotic Pets in Providing Stimulation for Nursing Home Residents with Dementia.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Trial experiments utilized robotic pets to facilitate self-reliance in nursing home residents. A remote-control robot modeled clear and meaningful behaviors to elderly residents. Special attention was paid to its effects on mental and social domains....

Real-time Pedestrian Crossing Recognition for Assistive Outdoor Navigation.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Navigation in urban environments can be difficult for people who are blind or visually impaired. In this project, we present a system and algorithms for recognizing pedestrian crossings in outdoor environments. Our goal is to provide navigation cues ...
