Social Integrating Robots Suggest Mitigation Strategies for Ecosystem Decay

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
We develop here a novel hypothesis that may generate a general research framework of how autonomous robots may act as a future contingency to counteract the ongoing ecological mass extinction process.

Learning robust perceptive locomotion for quadrupedal robots in the wild [PDF]

open access: yesScience Robotics, 2022
Legged robots that can operate autonomously in remote and hazardous environments will greatly increase opportunities for exploration into underexplored areas. Exteroceptive perception is crucial for fast and energy-efficient locomotion: Perceiving the terrain before making contact with it enables planning and adaptation of the gait ahead of time to ...

Deploying social robots in museum settings: A quasi-systematic review exploring purpose and acceptability

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2021
Social robots are increasingly used within public spaces, including museum settings. This quasi-systematic review identifies and synthesizes the evidence on social robots that have recently been deployed in museum settings.

Passive, Active, and Proactive Systems and Machines for the Protection and Preservation of Animals and Animal Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Animal Science, 2022
Digitalization and automation are expanding into many areas, resulting in more widespread use of partially and fully autonomous machines and robots. At the same time, environmental and other crises and disasters are on the rise, the world population is ...

Human-to-Robot Imitation in the Wild

open access: yesRobotics: Science and Systems XVIII, 2022
We approach the problem of learning by watching humans in the wild. While traditional approaches in Imitation and Reinforcement Learning are promising for learning in the real world, they are either sample inefficient or are constrained to lab settings. Meanwhile, there has been a lot of success in processing passive, unstructured human data.

Trouble and Repair in Child–Robot Interaction: A Study of Complex Interactions With a Robot Tutee in a Primary School Classroom

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2020
Today, robots are studied and expected to be used in a range of social roles within classrooms. Yet, due to a number of limitations in social robots, robot interactions should be expected to occasionally suffer from troublesome situations and breakdowns.

Human-Robot Interaction in Groups: Methodological and Research Practices

open access: yesMultimodal Technologies and Interaction, 2021
Understanding the behavioral dynamics that underline human-robot interactions in groups remains one of the core challenges in social robotics research. However, despite a growing interest in this topic, there is still a lack of established and validated ...

An Aerial–Aquatic Robot with Tunable Tilting Motors Capable of Multimode Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, 2023
Aerial–aquatic robots have promising applications due to their ability to operate in air and water with different motion modes. However, challenges such as water/air transition and multimedia movement still limit their development. Inspired by the aerial–

Reconfigurable Vortex-like Paramagnetic Nanoparticle Swarm with Upstream Motility and High Body-length Ratio Velocity

open access: yesResearch, 2023
Drug delivery systems with high-targeted doses can minimize excipients, reduce side effects, and improve efficacy. Human blood circulation is a complex circulatory system, and the motion control of microrobots in the static flow field in vitro is ...

Child-robot interaction in the wild

open access: yesProceedings of the 13th international conference on multimodal interfaces, 2011
We present insights gleaned from a series of child-robot interaction experiments carried out in a hospital paediatric department. Our aim here is to share good practice in experimental design and lessons learned about the implementation of systems for social HRI with child users towards application in "the wild", rather than in tightly controlled and ...
