Interactive Restriction of a Mobile Robot's Workspace in a Smart Home Environment

open access: yes, 2019
Virtual borders are employed to allow humans the interactive and flexible restriction of their mobile robots' workspaces in human-centered environments, e.g. to exclude privacy zones from the workspace or to indicate certain areas for working.

Companion robots: the hallucinatory danger of human-robot interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The advent of the so-called Companion Robots is raising many ethical concerns among scholars and in the public opinion. Focusing mainly on robots caring for the elderly, in this paper we analyze these concerns to distinguish which are directly ascribable

Deictic human/robot interaction

open access: yesRobotics and Autonomous Systems, 1996
Abstract This paper discusses adeictic strategy for human/robot interaction based on models of human motor control. The human operator uses gestures to momentarily bind autonomous robot routines to a goal behavior and spatial context. As a result, the operator communicates symbolically, rather than literally control the robot, and the robot benefits ...

The ubiquitin ligase RNF115 is required for the clearance of damaged lysosomes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Upon lysosomal rupture, an E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF115 translocates from the cytosol to the damaged lysosomal membrane. Moreover, RNF115 depletion impairs the clearance of damaged lysosomes, identifying it as a key regulator of lysosomal quality control.

Stability of value perception: minimal influence of framing on moral attributions to a humanoid robot

open access: yesScientific Reports
As robots are becoming collaborators in various domains, understanding if humans perceive them as moral and intentional agents is pivotal. This study investigated the malleability of human attributions of value alignment and intentionality to a humanoid ...

Color‐Customizable, Stretchable, Self‐Healable and Degradable Ionic Gel for Variable Human‐Motion Detection via Strain, Pressure, and Torsion

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, 2022
Recently, flexible sensors have attracted great interest for their promising application in wearable electronics. However, previous mechanical sensors are typically limited to detecting one type of stimulus and monotonous in color, which are not able to ...

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

The Usage and Evaluation of Anthropomorphic Form in Robot Design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
There are numerous examples illustrating the application of human shape in everyday products. Usage of anthropomorphic form has long been a basic design strategy, particularly in the design of intelligent service robots.

Gendered Human–Robot Interactions in Services

open access: yesInternational Journal of Social Robotics, 2023
AbstractThe outbreak of Covid-19 precipitated the use of service robots in customer-facing services as a replacement for employees to avoid human-to-human contact. However, this development has not resolved the debate as to whether robots should be characterized with gender attributes or simply be genderless.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...
