The Potential of Telepresence Robots for Intergroup Contact [PDF]

Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction Research and Applications, 2020
We propose the use of telepresence robots as a medium for intergroup contact that aims at reducing prejudice between groups in conflict. We argue for robots as a midpoint between online communication and a face-to-face meeting, combining the flexibility of the virtual world and the depth of physical interactions.

Continuum Robots in Surgery: From Engineering Design to Clinical Practice

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
The hyper‐redundant nature of continuum robot structures enables near‐infinite degrees of freedom leading to immense potential for medical applications. This review provides a historical background of continuum robots and novel ideas shaping their progress to current structural design, sensing technology, modeling techniques, and control methods.

The DLR Telepresence Experience in Space and Surgery [PDF]

, 2005
High-fidelity telepresence is considered to be a key subject for the development of advanced robotic applications in space and surgery. The fact that there are only few robots in space and surgery is mainly due to the lack of broadly available ...

Beyond the Camera: Epidermal Sensor Platforms for Intelligent Facial Expression Recognition and Interactive Human Monitoring

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Skin‐conformal epidermal sensors enable camera‐free intelligent facial monitoring by converting facial deformation and muscle activity into electrical signals through piezoresistive, capacitive, electrophysiologic, and self‐powered mechanisms. Coupled with artificial intelligence (AI), these platforms support facial expression recognition, human ...

F-Formations for Social Interaction in Simulation Using Virtual Agents and Mobile Robotic Telepresence Systems

Multimodal Technologies and Interaction, 2019
F-formations are a set of possible patterns in which groups of people tend to spatially organize themselves while engaging in social interactions. In this paper, we study the behavior of teleoperators of mobile robotic telepresence systems to determine ...

Exploring use cases for telepresence robots [PDF]

Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Human-robot interaction, 2011
Telepresence robots can be thought of as embodied video conferencing on wheels. Companies producing these robots imagine them being used in a wide variety of situations (e.g., ad-hoc conversations at the office, inspections and troubleshooting at factories, and patient rounds at medical facilities).

Artificial structures for human‐machine interfaces with closed‐loop interaction

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Artificial structures bridge sensing and feedback in closed‐loop human‐machine interfaces by providing geometry‐enabled mechanical and functional programmability. This review maps the role of artificial structures in diverse sensing modalities and feedback strategies, and illustrates their integration into closed‐loop interaction systems, highlighting ...

The Physical, Emotional, and Autonomous Anthropomorphism of Service Chatbots

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prior research on chatbot anthropomorphism has often treated it as a unidimensional construct, producing inconsistent findings regarding how human‐like design cues shape user responses. This study conceptualizes anthropomorphism as a multidimensional higher‐order perception comprising three distinct forms of anthropomorphic attribution ...
