Developmental changes in the perceived moral standing of robots.

Cognition
Emerging evidence suggests that children may think of robots-and artificial intelligence, more generally-as having moral standing. In this paper, we trace the developmental trajectory of this belief. Over three developmental studies (combined N = 415...

A bio-inspired visual collision detection network integrated with dynamic temporal variance feedback regulated by scalable functional countering jitter streaming.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
In pursuing artificial intelligence for efficient collision avoidance in robots, researchers draw inspiration from the locust's visual looming-sensitive neural circuit to establish an efficient neural network for collision detection. However, existin...

Optimization of percutaneous intervention robotic system for skin insertion force.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Percutaneous puncture is a common interventional procedure, and its effectiveness is influenced by the insertion force of the needle. To optimize outcomes, we focus on reducing the peak force of the needle in the skin, aiming to apply this m...

Evaluating the User Experience and Usability of the MINI Robot for Elderly Adults with Mild Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment: Insights and Recommendations.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
: In recent years, the integration of robotic systems into various aspects of daily life has become increasingly common. As these technologies continue to advance, ensuring user-friendly interfaces and seamless interactions becomes more essential. Fo...

A fuzzy-logic approach for longitudinal assessment of patients' psychophysiological state: an application to upper-limb orthopedic robot-aided rehabilitation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Understanding the psychophysiological state during robot-aided rehabilitation is crucial for assessing the patient experience during treatments. This paper introduces a psychophysiological estimation approach using a Fuzzy Logic inference model to as...

Enhancing postural stability in musculoskeletal quadrupedal locomotion through tension feedback for CPG-based controller.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
A central pattern generator (CPG)-based controller enhances the adaptability of quadrupedal locomotion, for example, by controlling the trunk posture. The conventional CPG-based controllers with attitude control often utilized the posture angle as fe...

Barrier-critic-disturbance approximate optimal control of nonzero-sum differential games for modular robot manipulators.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
In this paper, for addressing the safe control problem of modular robot manipulators (MRMs) system with uncertain disturbances, an approximate optimal control scheme of nonzero-sum (NZS) differential games is proposed based on the control barrier fun...

Autonomous mobile robots for exploratory synthetic chemistry.

Nature
Autonomous laboratories can accelerate discoveries in chemical synthesis, but this requires automated measurements coupled with reliable decision-making. Most autonomous laboratories involve bespoke automated equipment, and reaction outcomes are ofte...

During haptic communication, the central nervous system compensates distinctly for delay and noise.

PLoS computational biology
Physically connected humans have been shown to exploit the exchange of haptic forces and tactile information to improve their performance in joint action tasks. As human interactions are increasingly mediated through robots and networks it is importa...

Robotic feet modeled after ungulates improve locomotion on soft wet grounds.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Locomotion on soft yielding grounds is more complicated and energetically demanding than on hard ground. Wet soft ground (such as mud or snow) is a particularly difficult substance because it dissipates energy when stepping and resists extrusion of t...
