The interview (see Table2) consisted of 15 questions divided into five topics: 1) the participant’s self-reported reaction to the robot, 2) the participant’s perceptions of the robot’s functions, 3) the participant’s preferences for communication with the robot, 4) the participant’...
An autonomous robot performs task by itself while a tele-operated robot requires an operator's help in task-oriented activity. In emotional communication, an autonomous robot expresses robotic emotions by itself whereas a tele-operated robot delivers an operator's emotions to a receiver. In this ...
To investigate the effect of proprioceptive feedback, subjects controlled the robot's hands using two interfaces; (b) a motion-capture system that copied the operator's grasp to the robot's hands (with proprioception) and (c) a BCI system that translated the subjects' EEG patterns of motor ...
According to the researchers, “TRIC” enabled an older person to recognise the telepresence robot as a representation of the operator, for example family, and this is thought to lead to effective communication. Further developments have been advanced in the area of health consultation. The ...
For example, when the operator pressed a button, the robot closed its arms, hugged the participant briefly, and then opened its arms again. 2.1.1. Control Condition Each session began with heat pain stimulation, followed by the completion of questionnaires, including the Japanese version of ...
Because the robot was remote-controlled by an operator, it is unclear how successful robot moderation between elderly participants is under the situation of frequent speech recognition failures. Sakakibara et al. [43] proposed a system that dynamically generated dialogue scenarios for counseling patients...
In essence, this project is a robotic system for reconnaissance and WiFi network deployment. There are three main parts to it: the WiFi deployment system, the physical robot, and the robotic controls / operator interface.WiFi Deployment System...
Her interview in the 2005Playboy20Q offered some humorous answers to those most pressing questions such as, what her character of T’Pol and Spock would belike in bed. “Vulcans are really freaky nasty. You would never know it. You’d think it would go total missionary. But no, we are...
And this is where we get to the hypocrisy at the heart of Mitt Romney. Everyone knows that he is fantastically rich, having scored great success, the legend goes, as a “turnaround specialist,” a shrewd financial operator who revived moribund companies as a high-priced consultant for a sto...
The operator classified all gestures made by the participants. Procedural instructions on how to classify were given to the operator: each gesture had to be classified as one of the eight gestures the robot displayed, and in the event that the operator could not classify a gesture (usually ...
