Social Robot Navigation Tasks: Combining Machine Learning Techniques and Social Force Model.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Social robot navigation in public spaces, buildings or private houses is a difficult problem that is not well solved due to environmental constraints (buildings, static objects etc.), pedestrians and other mobile vehicles. Moreover, robots have to mo...

Persuasive robots should avoid authority: The effects of formal and real authority on persuasion in human-robot interaction.

Science robotics
Social robots must take on many roles when interacting with people in everyday settings, some of which may be authoritative, such as a nurse, teacher, or guard. It is important to investigate whether and how authoritative robots can influence people ...

A meta-analysis on the effectiveness of anthropomorphism in human-robot interaction.

Science robotics
The application of anthropomorphic design features is widely assumed to facilitate human-robot interaction (HRI). However, a considerable number of study results point in the opposite direction. There is currently no comprehensive common ground on th...

Personal Resilience Can Be Well Estimated from Heart Rate Variability and Paralinguistic Features during Human-Robot Conversations.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Mental health is as crucial as physical health, but it is underappreciated by mainstream biomedical research and the public. Compared to the use of AI or robots in physical healthcare, the use of AI or robots in mental healthcare is much more limited...

A Two-Level Speaker Identification System via Fusion of Heterogeneous Classifiers and Complementary Feature Cooperation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
We present a new architecture to address the challenges of speaker identification that arise in interaction of humans with social robots. Though deep learning systems have led to impressive performance in many speech applications, limited speech data...

User Experience in Social Robots.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Social robots are increasingly penetrating our daily lives. They are used in various domains, such as healthcare, education, business, industry, and culture. However, introducing this technology for use in conventional environments is not trivial. Fo...

[Potentials and challenges of social robots in relationships with older people: a rapid review of current debates].

Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie
BACKGROUND: Social relationships are essential resources for psychological well-being and physical health. In old age, increased vulnerability and loss of functions are accompanied by diminishing social networks reinforcing a vicious circle. This dec...

Barriers and facilitators to the implementation of social robots for older adults and people with dementia: a scoping review.

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: Psychosocial issues, such as social isolation and loneliness among older adults and people with dementia, continue to pose challenges with a rapidly aging population worldwide. Social robots are a rapidly emerging field of technology, dev...

UNRAQ-A Questionnaire for the Use of a Social Robot in Care for Older Persons. A Multi-Stakeholder Study and Psychometric Properties.

International journal of environmental research and public health
(1) Background: while there exist validated measures to assess the needs of older people, there are comparatively few validated tools to assess needs and requirements for the use of robots. Henceforth, the aim of the study is to present and validate ...
