Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Driven Soft Robotic Structures With Bioinspired Skeletal and Muscular ReinforcementFrontiers in Robotics and AI - Tập 7
Markus Franke, Adrian Ehrenhofer, S. K. Lahiri, Ellen Henke, Thomas Wallmersperger, Andreas Richter
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...... hiện toàn bộ
Deep Reinforcement Learning Controller for 3D Path Following and Collision Avoidance by Autonomous Underwater VehiclesFrontiers in Robotics and AI - Tập 7
Simen Theie Havenstrøm, Adil Rasheed, Omer San
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 avoid...... hiện toàn bộ
10 Years of Human-NAO Interaction Research: A Scoping ReviewFrontiers in Robotics and AI - Tập 8
Aida Amirova, Nazerke Rakhymbayeva, Elmira Yadollahi, Anara Sandygulova, Wafa Johal
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 a...... hiện toàn bộ
A Long-Term Engagement with a Social Robot for Autism TherapyFrontiers in Robotics and AI - Tập 8
Nazerke Rakhymbayeva, Aida Amirova, Anara Sandygulova
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 Diso...... hiện toàn bộ
