The evolving field of human-robot interaction (HRI) necessitates that we better
understand how social robots operate and interact with humans. This scoping
review provides an overview of about 300 research works focusing on the use of
the NAO robot from 2010 to 2020. This study presents one of the most extensive
and inclusive pieces of evidence on the deployment of the humanoid NAO robot and
its g... hiện toàn bộ
Social robots are increasingly being used as a mediator between a therapist and
a child in autism therapy studies. In this context, most behavioural
interventions are typically short-term in nature. This paper describes a
long-term study that was conducted with 11 children diagnosed with either Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or ASD in co-occurrence with Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (AD... hiện toàn bộ

Natural motion types found in skeletal and muscular systems of vertebrate
animals inspire researchers to transfer this ability into engineered motion,
which is highly desired in robotic systems. Dielectric elastomer actuators
(DEAs) have shown promising capabilities as artificial muscles for driving such
structures, as they are soft, lightweight, and can generate large strokes. For
maximum perform... hiện toàn bộ
Control theory provides engineers with a multitude of tools to design
controllers that manipulate the closed-loop behavior and stability of dynamical
systems. These methods rely heavily on insights into the mathematical model
governing the physical system. However, in complex systems, such as autonomous
underwater vehicles performing the dual objective of path following and
collision avoidance, de... hiện toàn bộ
