Modeling dynamic behavior of dielectric elastomer muscle for robotic applications

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Recently, as a strong candidate for artificial muscle, dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have been given the spotlight due to their attractive benefits from fast, large, and reversible electrically-controllable actuation in ultra-lightweight ...

Sympathy Begins with a Smile, Intelligence Begins with a Word: Use of Multimodal Features in Spoken Human-Robot Interaction

open access: yes, 2017
Recognition of social signals, from human facial expressions or prosody of speech, is a popular research topic in human-robot interaction studies. There is also a long line of research in the spoken dialogue community that investigates user satisfaction ...

"Sticky Hands": learning and generalization for cooperative physical interactions with a humanoid robot [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
"Sticky Hands" is a physical game for two people involving gentle contact with the hands. The aim is to develop relaxed and elegant motion together, achieve physical sensitivity-improving reactions, and experience an interaction at an intimate yet ...

Toward Competent Robot Apprentices: Enabling Proactive Troubleshooting in Collaborative Robots

open access: yesMachines
For robots to become effective apprentices and collaborators, they must exhibit some level of autonomy, for example, recognizing failures and identifying ways to address them with the aid of their human teammates.

On interaction quality in human-robot interaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In many complex robotics systems, interaction takes place in all directions between human, robot, and environment. Performance of such a system depends on this interaction, and a proper evaluation of a system must build on a proper modeling of ...

Can humanoid robots be used as a cognitive offloading tool?

open access: yesCognitive Research
Cognitive load occurs when the demands of a task surpass the available processing capacity, straining mental resources and potentially impairing performance efficiency, such as increasing the number of errors in a task.

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.
