Making robots matter in dementia care: Conceptualising the triadic interaction between caregiver, resident and robot animal.

Sociology of health & illness
While previous research studies have focused on either caregivers' or residents' perception and use of social robots, this article offers an empirical and theoretical examination of joint activities in triadic human-robot interaction. The symptomatol...

Mobile Robot + IoT: Project of Sustainable Technology for Sanitizing Broiler Poultry Litter.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The traditional aviary decontamination process involves farmers applying pesticides to the aviary's ground. These agricultural defenses are easily dispersed in the air, making the farmers susceptible to chronic diseases related to recurrent exposure....

A fully autonomous robotic ultrasound system for thyroid scanning.

Nature communications
The current thyroid ultrasound relies heavily on the experience and skills of the sonographer and the expertise of the radiologist, and the process is physically and cognitively exhausting. In this paper, we report a fully autonomous robotic ultrasou...

Effectiveness of Intelligent Control Strategies in Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation-A Systematic Review.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This review aims to provide a systematic analysis of the literature focused on the use of intelligent control systems in robotics for physical rehabilitation, identifying trends in recent research and comparing the effectiveness of intelligence used ...

Children's animistic beliefs toward a humanoid robot and other objects.

Journal of experimental child psychology
This study examined children's beliefs about a humanoid robot by examining their behavioral and verbal responses. We investigated whether 3- and 5-year-old children would treat the humanoid robot gently along with other objects and tools with and wit...

Emergence of integrated behaviors through direct optimization for homeostasis.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Homeostasis is a self-regulatory process, wherein an organism maintains a specific internal physiological state. Homeostatic reinforcement learning (RL) is a framework recently proposed in computational neuroscience to explain animal behavior. Homeos...

Robot-based solution for helping Alzheimer patients.

SLAS technology
Alzheimer's is a progressive and debilitating neurological disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss, and impaired daily functioning. It is an irreversible brain disease that destroys memory, thinking, and the ability to carry out dail...

Magnetic Microrobot Swarms with Polymeric Hands Catching Bacteria and Microplastics in Water.

ACS nano
The forefront of micro- and nanorobot research involves the development of smart swimming micromachines emulating the complexity of natural systems, such as the swarming and collective behaviors typically observed in animals and microorganisms, for e...

Biomimetic piezoelectric nanomaterial-modified oral microrobots for targeted catalytic and immunotherapy of colorectal cancer.

Science advances
Lactic acid (LA) accumulation in the tumor microenvironment poses notable challenges to effective tumor immunotherapy. Here, an intelligent tumor treatment microrobot based on the unique physiological structure and metabolic characteristics of (VA) ...

Closing the loop in minimally supervised human-robot interaction: formative and summative feedback.

Scientific reports
Human instructors fluidly communicate with hand gestures, head and body movements, and facial expressions, but robots rarely leverage these complementary cues. A minimally supervised social robot with such skills could help people exercise and learn ...
