Child-Centric Robot Dialogue Systems: Fine-Tuning Large Language Models for Better Utterance Understanding and Interaction.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Dialogue systems must understand children's utterance intentions by considering their unique linguistic characteristics, such as syntactic incompleteness, pronunciation inaccuracies, and creative expressions, to enable natural conversational engageme...

Effectiveness of robot-assisted training in adults with Parkinson's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Journal of neurology
AIM: This work aimed to update and summarize the existing evidence on the effectiveness of robot-assisted training (RAT) in adults with Parkinson's disease (PD).

The roles of cognitive dissonance and normative reasoning in attributions of minds to robots.

Cognitive research: principles and implications
As a wide variety of intelligent technologies become part of everyday life, researchers have explored how people conceptualize agents that in some ways act and think like living things but are clearly machines. Much of this work draws upon the idea t...

Accelerating the pace of innovation in robotics by fostering diversity and inclusive leadership.

Science robotics
Diverse and inclusive teams are not merely a moral imperative but also a catalyst for scientific excellence in robotics. Drawing from literature, a comprehensive citation analysis, and expert interviews, we derive seven main benefits of diversity and...

Imaging-guided bioresorbable acoustic hydrogel microrobots.

Science robotics
Micro- and nanorobots excel in navigating the intricate and often inaccessible areas of the human body, offering immense potential for applications such as disease diagnosis, precision drug delivery, detoxification, and minimally invasive surgery. De...

Integrating Vision and Olfaction via Multi-Modal LLM for Robotic Odor Source Localization.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Odor source localization (OSL) technology allows autonomous agents like mobile robots to localize a target odor source in an unknown environment. This is achieved by an OSL navigation algorithm that processes an agent's sensor readings to calculate a...

A programmable, open-source robot that scratches cultured tissues to investigate cell migration, healing, and tissue sculpting.

Cell reports methods
Despite the widespread popularity of the "scratch assay," where a pipette is dragged manually through cultured tissue to create a gap to study cell migration and healing, it carries significant drawbacks. Its heavy reliance on manual technique can co...

Human-in-the-Loop Modeling and Bilateral Skill Transfer Control of Soft Exoskeleton.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Soft exoskeletons (exosuits) are expected to provide a comfortable wearing experience and compliant assistance compared with traditional rigid exoskeleton robots. In this paper, an exosuit with twisted string actuators (TSAs) is developed to provide ...

Application of task-autonomous dental robot for lateral window preparation in the maxillary sinus.

Journal of cranio-maxillo-facial surgery : official publication of the European Association for Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery
The study aimed to investigate the feasibility and accuracy of task-autonomous dental robots for lateral window preparation in the maxillary sinus, as well as to propose 3 indexes for assessing the accuracy of lateral window preparation. Twenty 1:1 r...

A pilot evaluation of school-based LEGO® robotics therapy for autistic students.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
There is emerging evidence that LEGO® therapy is an effective way of supporting younger autistic children develop their communication and social skills. LEGO® robotics therapy - which uses the principles of LEGO® therapy applied to LEGO® robotics - m...
