How Immersed Are You? State of the Art of the Neurophysiological Characterization of Embodiment in Mixed Reality for Out-of-the-Lab Applications

Applied Sciences
Mixed Reality (MR) environments hold immense potential for inducing a sense of embodiment, where users feel like their bodies are present within the virtual space.

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Cross-Embodiment Kinematic Behavioral Cloning (X-EKBC): An Energy-Based Framework for Human–Robot Imitation Learning with the Embodiment Gap

Machines
In imitation learning with the embodiment gap, directly transferring human motions to robots is challenging due to differences in body structures. Therefore, it is necessary to reconstruct human motions in accordance with each robot’s embodiment.

Auditory–Tactile Congruence for Synthesis of Adaptive Pain Expressions in RoboPatients

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this work, we explore auditory–tactile congruence for synthesizing adaptive vocal pain expressions in robopatients. Using a robopatient platform that integrates vocal pain sounds with palpation forces, we conducted 7680 trials across 20 participants.

What my bias meant for my embodiment: an investigation on virtual embodiment in desktop-based virtual reality

Frontiers in Virtual Reality
The immersion of virtual reality (VR) can impact user perceptions in numerous forms, even racial bias and embodied experiences. These effects are often limited to head-mounted displays (HMDs) and other immersive technologies that may not be inclusive to ...

Backpropagation Through Soft Body: Investigating Information Processing in Brain–Body Coupling Systems

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study explores how information processing is distributed between brains and bodies through a codesign approach. Using the “backpropagation through soft body” framework, brain–body coupling agents are developed and analyzed across several tasks in which output is generated through the agents’ physical dynamics.
