Show, Attend and Interact: Perceivable Human-Robot Social Interaction through Neural Attention Q-Network

open access: yes, 2017
For a safe, natural and effective human-robot social interaction, it is essential to develop a system that allows a robot to demonstrate the perceivable responsive behaviors to complex human behaviors. We introduce the Multimodal Deep Attention Recurrent

Emotional robots: principles and practice with PARO in Denmark, Germany and the UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
As societies age there will be a significant increase of those over 80 and a predicted increase in people with dementia. We know that loneliness increases with old age, and those living with dementia are at risk of social isolation.

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Enhancing theory of mind in autism through humanoid robot interaction in a randomized controlled trial

open access: yesScientific Reports
Autism Spectrum Disorder presents significant challenges in social cognition, particularly in understanding others’ thoughts, emotions, and intentions. Traditional interventions often rely on role-playing games with human therapists or inanimate objects,

Social robots as eating companions

open access: yesFrontiers in Computer Science, 2022
Previous research shows that eating together (i.e., commensality) impacts food choice, time spent eating, and enjoyment. Conversely, eating alone is considered a possible cause of unhappiness.

Social robots as depictions of social agents

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Sciences, 2022
AbstractSocial robots serve people as tutors, caretakers, receptionists, companions, and other social agents. People know that the robots are mechanical artifacts, yet they interact with them as if they were actual agents. How is this possible? The proposal here is that people construe social robots not as social agentsper se, but asdepictionsof social

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.

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 ...

Evaluation of Using Semi-Autonomy Features in Mobile Robotic Telepresence Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Mobile robotic telepresence systems used for social interaction scenarios require that users steer robots in a remote environment. As a consequence, a heavy workload can be put on users if they are unfamiliar with using robotic telepresence units.
