Neurorobotic augmentation (e.g., robotic assist) is now in regular use to support individuals suffering from impaired motor functions. A major unresolved challenge, however, is the excessive cognitive load necessary for the human-machine interface (H...

According to moral typecasting theory, good- and evil-doers (agents) interact with the recipients of their actions (patients) in a moral dyad. When this dyad is completed, mind attribution towards intentionally harmed liminal minds is enhanced. Howev...
BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation robots integrated with brain-machine interaction (BMI) can facilitate stroke patients' recovery by closing the loop between motor intention and actual movement. The main challenge is to identify the patient's motor intentio...
The coexistence of robots and humans in shared physical and social spaces is expected to increase. A key enabler of high-quality interaction is a mutual understanding of each other's actions and intentions. In this paper, we motivate and present a sy...
In this paper, we propose an attention-based multi-task neural network model for text classification and sequence tagging and then apply it to the named entity recognition and the intent analysis of Chinese online medical questions. We found that the...
This paper critically assesses John Danaher's 'ethical behaviourism', a theory on how the moral status of robots should be determined. The basic idea of this theory is that a robot's moral status is determined decisively on the basis of its observabl...

Assistive shared-control robots have the potential to transform the lives of millions of people afflicted with severe motor impairments. The usefulness of shared-control robots typically relies on the underlying autonomy's ability to infer the user's...
OBJECTIVE: This research examined the effects of reliability and stated social intent on trust, trustworthiness, and one's willingness to endorse use of an autonomous security robot (ASR).
In the presence of others, sense of agency (SoA), i.e. the perceived relationship between our own actions and external events, is reduced. The present study aimed at investigating whether the phenomenon of reduced SoA is observed in human-robot inter...

In recent years, electromyography (EMG)-based practical myoelectric interfaces have been developed to improve the quality of daily life for people with physical disabilities. With these interfaces, it is very important to decode a user's movement int...
