Anthropomorphism and Its Negative Attitudes, Sociability, Animacy, Agency, and Disturbance Requirements for Social Robots: A Pilot Study
( springer link , 2021 , Conference)A social robot that meets the acceptability requirements of the target end-users presents a significant challenge to robot designers. The design process is often iterative and requires continuous improvements and optimization ... -
Children Perceived Perception of a Mini-Humanoid Social Robot Based on a Psychometric Scale: A Pilot Study in Greece
( springer link , 2022 , Conference)There is a growing interest in the integration of social robots in different applications in our daily lives. However, it can be challenging to design a social robot that is perceived positively among the target end-users. ... -
Datasets for recognition of aggressive interactions of children toward robotic toys
( Elsevier , 2021 , Dataset)The data is related to unwanted interactions between a person and a small robotic toy based on acceleration sensor embedded within the robotic toy. Three toys were considered namely, a stuffed panda, a stuffed robot, and ... -
Detection of challenging behaviours of children with autism using wearable sensors during interactions with social robots
( IEEE Explore , 2021 , Conference)Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by patterns of behaviours and difficulties with social communication and interaction. Children on the spectrum exhibit atypical, restricted, ... -
A Framework for Assistive Social Robots for Detecting Aggression in Children
( springer link , 2022 , Conference)Children during their early years might exhibit different forms of aggression against others. Aggression can be physical or relational. Physical aggression can take on different forms such as hitting, pushing, and kicking. ... -
Head Impact Severity Measures for Small Social Robots Thrown During Meltdown in Autism
( springer link , 2019 , Article)Social robots have gained a lot of attention recently as they have been reported to be effective in supporting therapeutic services for children with autism. However, children with autism may exhibit a multitude of challenging ... -
Improvement of heat sink performance using paraffin/graphite/hydrogel phase change composite coating
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Phase-change materials offer high latent heat and are widely used for energy storage applications. Paraffin wax is usually used as a phase-change material. However, its application in energy storage is restricted due to ... -
Influence of Reaction Time in the Emotional Response of a Companion Robot to a Child’s Aggressive Interaction
( springer link , 2020 , Article)The quality of a companion robot’s reaction is important to make it acceptable to the users and to sustain interactions. Furthermore, the robot’s reaction can be used to train socially acceptable behaviors and to develop ... -
Influence of the shape and mass of a small robot when thrown to a dummy human head
( springer link , 2019 , Article)Social robots have shown some efficacy in assisting children with autism and are now being considered as assistive tools for therapy. The physical proximity of a small companion social robot could become a source of harm ... -
Influence of Visual and Haptic Feedback on the Detection of Threshold Forces in a Surgical Grasping Task
( IEEE Explore , 2021 , Article)Feedback from sensory modalities is crucial for the precise grasping of tissues during minimally invasive robotic surgery. The aims of the study are to determine the influence of visual and haptic feedback on the detection ... -
Real-Time Social Robot’s Responses to Undesired Interactions Between Children and their Surroundings
( springer link , 2023 , Article)Aggression in children is frequent during the early years of childhood. Among children with psychiatric disorders in general, and autism in particular, challenging behaviours and aggression rates are higher. These can take ... -
Robotic Trains as an Educational and Therapeutic Tool for Autism Spectrum Disorder Intervention
( springer link , 2019 , Conference)Social robots are emerging to become useful assistive tools for use in the therapy and education of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The nature of ASD causes its symptoms and manifestations to vary widely, ... -
Safety experiments for small robots investigating the potential of soft materials in mitigating the harm to the head due to impacts
( springer link , 2019 , Article)There is a growing interest in social robots to be considered in the therapy of children with autism due to their effectiveness in improving the outcomes. However, children on the spectrum exhibit challenging behaviors ... -
Self-sanitizing reusable glove via 3D-printing and common mold making method
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)In health care and public health practice, it is critical to settings control practices that are critical to reducing the transmission of infections through cross-contamination. To provide protection from cross-contamination, ... -
Sense and Learn: Recent Advances in Wearable Sensing and Machine Learning for Blood Glucose Monitoring and Trend-Detection
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2022 , Article)(Figure presented.) Diabetes mellitus is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, however patients with diabetes may also develop hypoglycemia due to treatment. There is an increasing demand for non-invasive blood ... -
Social robots and wearable sensors for mitigating meltdowns in autism - A pilot test
( springer link , 2018 , Conference)Young individuals with ASD may exhibit challenging behaviors. Among these, self-injurious behavior (SIB) is the most devastating for a person’s physical health and inclusion within the community. SIB refers to a class of ... -
Toward 3D Printed Prosthetic Hands that Can Satisfy Psychosocial Needs: Grasping Force Comparisons Between a Prosthetic Hand and Human Hands
( springer link , 2017 , Conference)The advancement in 3D printing technologies appears to be the key toward affordable and functional artificial limbs. The loss of an amputee’s capability to do functional tasks like grasping objects has an obvious effect ...
