Precuneus brain response changes differently during human-robot and human-human dyadic social interaction.

Scientific reports
Human-human interactions (HHI) and human-robot interactions (HRI) are compared to identify differences between cognitive processes reflecting bonding in social interactions with natural and artificial agents. We capitalize on a unique corpus of neuro...

Methodologies Used to Study the Feasibility, Usability, Efficacy, and Effectiveness of Social Robots For Elderly Adults: Scoping Review.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: New research fields to design social robots for older people are emerging. By providing support with communication and social interaction, these robots aim to increase quality of life. Because of the decline in functioning due to cognitiv...

A Bio-Inspired Endogenous Attention-Based Architecture for a Social Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
A robust perception system is crucial for natural human-robot interaction. An essential capability of these systems is to provide a rich representation of the robot's environment, typically using multiple sensory sources. Moreover, this information a...

Otisma: an integrated application and humanoid robot as an educational tool for children with autism.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Autistic children have difficulty communicating wants, needs, and thoughts. In cases of low functioning autism, an individual can have serious speech and language disabilities. In response to the need of parents and therapists dealing with autistic c...

PURPOSE: The rapid technological advances, the traits of individuals with ASD and their interest in technology are promising for the instruction of social skills to individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using various technological intervent...

The use of social robots with children and young people on the autism spectrum: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Robot-mediated interventions show promise in supporting the development of children on the autism spectrum.

A New Approach for Including Social Conventions into Social Robots Navigation by Using Polygonal Triangulation and Group Asymmetric Gaussian Functions.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Many authors have been working on approaches that can be applied to social robots to allow a more realistic/comfortable relationship between humans and robots in the same space. This paper proposes a new navigation strategy for social environments by...

The adoption of socially assistive robots for long-term care: During COVID-19 and in a post-pandemic society.

Healthcare management forum
The rapid spread of COVID-19 has prompted a surge in the adoption of technology, highlighting a number of potential applications for Socially Assistive Robots (SARs). Our entire healthcare system has been under unprecedented strain, and going forward...

Promoting activity in long-term care facilities with the social robot Pepper: a pilot study.

Informatics for health & social care
About 40 000 individuals depend on assisted living in long-term care facilities in Norway. Around 80% of these have a cognitive impairment or suffer from dementia. This actualizes the need for activities that are tailored to individual needs. For som...
