Rapidly Dissolving Microneedles Incorporating Lidocaine Hydrochloride: A PVP/PVA-Based Approach for Local Anesthesia

open access: yesPharmaceutics
Background/Objectives: Lidocaine is a widely used local anesthetic, but injections and topical creams are often painful or slow in onset. This study aimed to develop dissolving microneedles incorporating lidocaine hydrochloride for rapid and convenient ...

Auditory–Tactile Congruence for Synthesis of Adaptive Pain Expressions in RoboPatients

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

The role of line managers in employee voice systems

open access: yes, 2014
The notion of employee voice has been well established in the earlier chapters of this volume. Simply put, we are defining employee voice as the way employees are provided with an opportunity to have a 'say' over decisions that are made within ...

Backpropagation Through Soft Body: Investigating Information Processing in Brain–Body Coupling Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study explores how information processing is distributed between brains and bodies through a codesign approach. Using the “backpropagation through soft body” framework, brain–body coupling agents are developed and analyzed across several tasks in which output is generated through the agents’ physical dynamics.

Non-speech Voice for Sonic Interaction: A Catalogue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper surveys the uses of non-speech voice as an interaction modality within sonic applications. Three main contexts of use have been identified: sound retrieval, sound synthesis and control, and sound design.

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Word Play: A History of Voice Interaction in Digital Games

open access: yes, 2017
The use of voice interaction in digital games has a long and varied history of experimentation but has never achieved sustained, widespread success. In this article, we review the history of voice interaction in digital games from a media archaeology ...

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.

Interactions of voice quality settings

open access: yesProceedings of International Conferences of Experimental Linguistics, 2019
This paper aims at investigating the possible interactions of the voice quality settings (VQS) related to vocal tract (supralaryngeal) and phonatory (laryngeal) activities in the Vocal Profile Analysis Scheme (VPAS), based on Laver’s model. The corpus was composed of semi-spontaneous speech samples and repetitions of key-sentences (designed for voice ...
