Dentists’ perception and use of AI and robotics in the care of persons with disabilities

Abstract Despite the growing role of AI and robotics in healthcare, little is known about their integration into dental care for persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to assess dentists’ perceptions and attitude...

An Optimization Model for Reliability Improvement and Cost Reduction Through EV Smart Charging

There is a general concern that the increasing penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) will result in higher aging failure probability of equipment and reduced network reliability. The electricity costs may also increase, due to the exacerba...

Data-Driven Clustering Analysis for Representative Electric Vehicle Charging Profile in South Korea

As the penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) increases, an understanding of EV operation characteristics becomes crucial in various aspects, e.g., grid stability and battery degradation. This can be achieved through analyzing large amounts...

Presence in a Pocket. Phantasms of Immediacy in Japanese Mobile Telepresence Robotics

The paper addresses prospects of Japanese mobile telepresence robotics where small anthropomorphic devices are designed to act as intermediaries between remote interlocutors. First, an emic perspective of involved scientists and engineers i...

PZT Ferroelectric Synapse TFT With Multi-Level of Conductance State for Neuromorphic Applications

To fundamentally solve the bottleneck of Von Neumann’s computing architecture, a neuromorphic thin-film transistor (NTFT) employing Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 (PZT) was investigated. The indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) channel back gate TFT struc...

Robot Learning from Demonstration in Robotic Assembly: A Survey

Learning from demonstration (LfD) has been used to help robots to implement manipulation tasks autonomously, in particular, to learn manipulation behaviors from observing the motion executed by human demonstrators. This paper reviews recent...

probabilistic robotics

Field Robot Event is an annual competition for small field robots intended for student teams. Field Robot project has been seen as a motivating challenge for project-based learning as it results to a working prototype. In Finland the team h...

Shakey the Robot

From 1960 through 1972, the Artificial Intelligence Center at SRI conducted research on a mobile robot system nicknamed "Shakey." Endowed with a limited ability to perceive and model its environment, Shakey could perform tasks that required...

A New Wave in Robotics: Survey on Recent MmWave Radar Applications in Robotics

We survey the current state of millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar applications in robotics with a focus on unique capabilities, and discuss future opportunities based on the state of the art. Frequency modulated continuous wave mmWave radars op...

Augmented Reality and Robotics: A Survey and Taxonomy for AR-enhanced Human-Robot Interaction and Robotic Interfaces

This paper contributes to a taxonomy of augmented reality and robotics based on a survey of 460 research papers. Augmented and mixed reality (AR/MR) have emerged as a new way to enhance human-robot interaction (HRI) and robotic interfaces (...

Effects of Robot Motion on Human-Robot Collaboration

Most motion in robotics is purely functional, planned to achieve the goal and avoid collisions. Such motion is great in isolation, but collaboration affords a human who is watching the motion and making inferences about it, trying to coordi...

A commentary of Remote everything in MIT Technology Review 2021

Remote technology refers to applications that rely on wireless/wired network communication technology to enable the effective interconnection of multiple terminals distributed in different geographical locations, which helps to achieve effe...

Evolution of prehension ability in an anthropomorphic neurorobotic arm

In this paper, we show how a simulated anthropomorphic robotic arm controlled by an artificial neural network can develop effective reaching and grasping behaviour through a trial and error process in which the free parameters encode the co...

Modeling the Dynamics of Two Cooperating Robots

The paper presents a description of the dynamics of two mobile robots cooperating in the transport of a bulky load in the form of a beam. The purpose of modeling such a system was to obtain a mathematical model in an appropriate form. Lagra...

Real-time obstacle avoidance of mobile robots using state-dependent Riccati equation approach

Abstract In this paper, state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) method-based optimal control technique is applied to a robot. In recent years, issues associated with the robotics have become one of the developing fields of research. Accordi...
