Clark and Fischer analyze social robots as depictions, presenting characters that people can interact with in social settings. Unlike other types of depictions, the props for social robot depictions depend on emerging interactive technologies. This ...
Following the depiction theory by Clark and Fischer we would expect people interacting with robots to experience emotions akin to those toward films or novels. However, some people's emotional reactions toward robots display the motivational force t...
Clark and Fischer argue that people see social robots as depictions of social agents. However, people's interactions with virtual assistants may change their beliefs about social robots. Children and adults with exposure to virtual assistants may vie...
Peristalsis, a motion generated by the propagation of muscular contraction along the body axis, is one of the most common locomotion patterns in limbless animals. While the kinematics of peristalsis has been examined intensively, its kinetics remains...
BACKGROUND: This paper reviews nationally representative public opinion surveys on artificial intelligence (AI) in the United States, with a focus on areas related to health care. The potential health applications of AI continue to gain attention owi...
When a familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patient's rectal polyp undergoes malignant transformation, the surgeon needs to consider how to balance the quality of surgery with the patient's quality of life. Here, we present a case of robotic surgery ...
Electronic gloves (e-gloves), with their multifunctional sensing capability, hold a promising application in robotic skin and human-machine interfaces, endowing robots with a human sense of touch. Despite the progress in developing e-gloves by exploi...
