Preventing antisocial robots: A pathway to artificial empathy.

Science robotics
Given the accelerating powers of artificial intelligence (AI), we must equip artificial agents and robots with empathy to prevent harmful and irreversible decisions. Current approaches to artificial empathy focus on its cognitive or performative proc...

The impact of artificial intelligence on the person-centred, doctor-patient relationship: some problems and solutions.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
Artificial intelligence (AI) is often cited as a possible solution to current issues faced by healthcare systems. This includes the freeing up of time for doctors and facilitating person-centred doctor-patient relationships. However, given the novelt...

Effective Prediction and Important Counseling Experience for Perceived Helpfulness of Social Question and Answering-Based Online Counseling: An Explainable Machine Learning Model.

Frontiers in public health
The social question answering based online counseling (SQA-OC) is easy access for people seeking professional mental health information and service, has become the crucial pre-consultation and application stage toward online counseling. However, ther...

Empathy in Human-Robot Interaction: Designing for Social Robots.

International journal of environmental research and public health
For a service robot to serve travelers at an airport or for a social robot to live with a human partner at home, it is vital for robots to possess the ability to empathize with human partners and express congruent emotions accordingly. We conducted a...

A Preliminary Study on Realizing Human-Robot Mental Comforting Dialogue via Sharing Experience Emotionally.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Mental health issues are receiving more and more attention in society. In this paper, we introduce a preliminary study on human-robot mental comforting conversation, to make an android robot (ERICA) present an understanding of the user's situation by...

The importance of developing care-worker-centered robotic aides in long-term care.

Bioethics
Recent research points to the fact that new medical technological innovations are just as relevant in the context of long-term care or chronic care as they are in the context of acute care. In the spirit of the Nuffield Foundation recommendations, th...

A meta-analysis on the effectiveness of anthropomorphism in human-robot interaction.

Science robotics
The application of anthropomorphic design features is widely assumed to facilitate human-robot interaction (HRI). However, a considerable number of study results point in the opposite direction. There is currently no comprehensive common ground on th...

Development Issues of Healthcare Robots: Compassionate Communication for Older Adults with Dementia.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Although progress is being made in affective computing, issues remain in enabling the effective expression of compassionate communication by healthcare robots. Identifying, describing and reconciling these concerns are important in order to provide q...

EEG based functional connectivity analysis of human pain empathy towards humans and robots.

Neuropsychologia
Humans can show emotional reactions toward humanoid robots, such as empathy. Previous neuroimaging studies have indicated that neural responses of empathy for others' pain are modulated by an early automatic emotional sharing and a late controlled co...

Intelligent humanoid robots expressing artificial humanlike empathy in nursing situations.

Nursing philosophy : an international journal for healthcare professionals
Intelligent humanoid robots (IHRs) are becoming likely to be integrated into nursing practice. However, a proper integration of IHRs requires a detailed description and explanation of their essential capabilities, particularly regarding their compete...
