A complementing approach for identifying ethical issues in care robotics – grounding ethics in practical use [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We use a long-term study of a robotic eating-aid for disabled users to illustrate how empirical use give rise to a set of ethical issues that might be overlooked in ethic discussions based on theoretical extrapolation of the current state-of-the-art in ...

Application of Tiling Theory for Path Planning Strategy in a Polyiamond Inspired Reconfigurable Robot

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Commercial floor cleaning robots face significant challenges in accessing convex and narrow corners due to their fixed and regular morphologies. To overcome this, we develop a new class of self-reconfigurable floor cleaning robot, hTetrakis, which is ...
