Instructor-learner brain coupling discriminates between instructional approaches and predicts learning.

NeuroImage
The neural mechanisms that support naturalistic learning via effective pedagogical approaches remain elusive. Here we used functional near-infrared spectroscopy to measure brain activity from instructor-learner dyads simultaneously during dynamic con...

A review of recent research in social robotics.

Current opinion in psychology
Research in social robotics has a different emphasis from research in robotics for factory, military, hospital, home (vacuuming), aerial (drone), space, and undersea applications. A social robot is one whose purpose is to serve a person in a caring i...

Deep learning-based automated speech detection as a marker of social functioning in late-life depression.

Psychological medicine
BACKGROUND: Late-life depression (LLD) is associated with poor social functioning. However, previous research uses bias-prone self-report scales to measure social functioning and a more objective measure is lacking. We tested a novel wearable device ...

Exploring the perceptions of people with dementia about the social robot PARO in a hospital setting.

Dementia (London, England)
New technology, such as social robots, opens up new opportunities in hospital settings. PARO, a robotic pet seal, was designed to provide emotional and social support for older people with dementia. We applied video-ethnographic methods, including co...

Ethics of socially assistive robots in aged-care settings: a socio-historical contextualisation.

Journal of medical ethics
Different embodiments of technology permeate all layers of public and private domains in society. In the public domain of aged care, attention is increasingly focused on the use of socially assistive robots (SARs) supporting caregivers and older adul...

Attribution of intentional agency towards robots reduces one's own sense of agency.

Cognition
In the presence of others, sense of agency (SoA), i.e. the perceived relationship between our own actions and external events, is reduced. The present study aimed at investigating whether the phenomenon of reduced SoA is observed in human-robot inter...

Review of outcome measures in PARO robot intervention studies for dementia care.

Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.)
The aim of this study was to describe interventions for PARO, as well as the outcomes evaluated and found following use of PARO, and to identify outcome measures in PARO intervention studies for older adults with dementia. Multiple databases (Web of ...

Engagement and experience of older people with socially assistive robots in home care.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Social isolation is one of the most common consequences of older people with dementia, especially for those who live at their own dwellings alone due to limited access to social activities. Research relating to the use of social robots in aged care h...

Evaluating the effects of active social touch and robot expressiveness on user attitudes and behaviour in human-robot interaction.

Scientific reports
Touch plays a crucial role in human social interaction and emotional communication. Social touch refers to touching others in social contexts, serving purposes like greetings, affection, persuasion, and emotional regulation. Social robots are autonom...

Advanced smart assistance with enhancing social interaction and daily activities for visually impaired individuals using deep learning with modified seagull optimization.

Scientific reports
Visually impaired individuals face daily challenges in social engagement and routine activities due to limited access to real-time environmental information. Damage detection is a common approach in infrastructure that combines steel and concrete rei...
