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.

Statistical analysis of Likert-based ordinal scales: a guide for clinical trialists

BMC Medical Research Methodology
Background Likert-based scales are a popular tool in clinical trials for assessing patient-reported outcomes. A key analytical decision involves whether to treat these data as binary, continuous, or ordinal. Each approach has implications for statistical

Multimodal Engagement Assessment in Children During Invented Story Paradigm With a Social Robot

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal framework is proposed to assess children's engagement during storytelling interactions with a social robot. Gaze, physiological, and behavioral data are combined and validated against observer ratings. An automated gaze‐labeling strategy is introduced, and supervised classifiers achieve high accuracy. The study supports scalable engagement

Muscle Control of an Extra Robotic Digit

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study compares muscle‐ and movement‐based control for operating a supernumerary robotic thumb. While movement control performs better in the proposed tasks, muscle‐based (EMG) control promotes broader motor learning. The results highlight the promise and challenges of using biosignals for human augmentation, offering new insights into intuitive ...

Shear‐Isolating Actuation System for Exosuit Using Movable Pulley With Webbing‐Driven Mechanism

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Tendon‐driven exosuits can chafe the skin because the moving tendon slides against the wearer. A shear‐isolating actuation system combining a movable pulley with flat‐profile webbing keeps the body‐contacting tendon layer stationary, relocating relative motion away from the skin. The compact 145‐g actuator delivers 150 N of assistance, and benchtop and

Using a Computational Approach for Generalizing a Consensus Measure to Likert Scales of Any Size n

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2018
There are many consensus measures that can be computed using Likert data. Although these measures should work with any number n of choices on the Likert scale, the measurements have been most widely studied and demonstrated for n = 5.

Pseudo‐Haptic Feedback: Multi‐Modal Approaches to Stiffness Perception and User Experience

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Can visual deformation substitute for physical haptic feedback? In immersive VR, deformation‐based pseudo‐haptics enables stiffness discrimination comparable to wearable force feedback, while their combination yields the highest performance and presence without increasing workload.

What Really Drives Agri‐Environment‐Climate Measures' Adoption? Mandatory Requirements, Behavioral Traits, and Structural Factors in the CAP Green Architecture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To increase farmer adoption of green practices, the EU Common Agricultural Policy includes both mandatory (conditionality) and voluntary instruments (eco‐schemes–ECS– and more demanding, multi‐annual agri‐environment‐climate measures –AECM–). Building on the experiment of Barreiro‐Hurle et al.

Promoting Healthier Drinking: Evidence From a Vignette Experiment on Contextual and Informational Drivers of Dealcoholized Wine Choices

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Growing demand for healthier beverages is driving innovation in the wine sector, with dealcoholized wine emerging as a promising alternative. However, little is known about the contextual conditions under which consumers would choose dealcoholized wine, particularly in countries with strong wine traditions. To fill this gap, this work examines

Decreasing Respondent Heterogeneity by Likert Scales Adjustment via Multipoles

Stats, 2018
A description of Likert scales can be given using the multipoles technique known in quantum physics and applied to behavioral sciences data. This paper considers decomposition of Likert scales by the multipoles for the application of decreasing the ...
