How to make nonhumanoid mobile robots more likable: Employing kinesic courtesy cues to promote appreciation.

Applied ergonomics
Service robots that mimic human social behavior can appear polite. We tested the social and behavioral efficacy and legibility of two kinesic courtesy cues on people's approval of a service robot. In a repeated-measures design, 29 volunteers were ran...

Information flow reveals prediction limits in online social activity.

Nature human behaviour
Modern society depends on the flow of information over online social networks, and users of popular platforms generate substantial behavioural data about themselves and their social ties. However, it remains unclear what fundamental limits exist when...

Social Conformity Effects on Trust in Simulation-Based Human-Robot Interaction.

Human factors
OBJECTIVE: We investigated the co-acting influences of communication and social conformity on trust in human-robot interaction.

Social Touch Gesture Recognition Using Convolutional Neural Network.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Recently, social touch gesture recognition has been considered an important topic for touch modality, which can lead to highly efficient and realistic human-robot interaction. In this paper, a deep convolutional neural network is selected to implemen...

Social Robots for Depression in Older Adults: A Systematic Review.

Journal of nursing scholarship : an official publication of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing
PURPOSE: In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of studies using social robots to improve psychological well-being. This systematic review investigates the effect of social robot interventions for depression in older adults.

The impact of robotic intervention on joint attention in children with autism spectrum disorders.

Molecular autism
BACKGROUND: A growing body of anecdotal evidence indicates that the use of robots may provide unique opportunities for assisting children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, previous studies investigating the effects of interventions using...

MAPLE (modular automated platform for large-scale experiments), a robot for integrated organism-handling and phenotyping.

eLife
Lab organisms are valuable in part because of large-scale experiments like screens, but performing such experiments over long time periods by hand is arduous and error-prone. Organism-handling robots could revolutionize large-scale experiments in the...

Reinforcement learning for solution updating in Artificial Bee Colony.

PloS one
In the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm, the employed bee and the onlooker bee phase involve updating the candidate solutions by changing a value in one dimension, dubbed one-dimension update process. For some problems which the number of dimens...
