Synthesis, optimization and applications of ZnO/polymer nanocomposites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article Review)
Polymer composites have established an excellent position among the technologically essential materials because of their wide range of applications. An enormous research interest has been devoted to zinc oxide (ZnO) based ...
Using robot animation to promote gestural skills in children with autism spectrum disorders
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
School-aged children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have delayed gestural development, in comparison with age-matched typically developing children. In this study, an intervention program taught children with ...
A Bio-Inspired Slip Detection and Reflex-Like Suppression Method for Robotic Manipulators
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Robotic manipulators face significant challenges when handling objects of different sizes and shapes. Incorporating a sense of touch into these devices has the potential to improve performance and dexterity. In this paper, ...
Attitudes of heads of education and directors of research towards the need for social robotics education in universities
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
We explored the attitudes of the Heads of Education and the Directors of Research towards the need for Social Robotics Courses in Finland. The methods consisted of a cross-sectional survey (n = 21) and data was analyzed ...
Autism in the Gulf States: Why social robotics is the way forward
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we assess the current situation in the Gulf States with respect to autism awareness and diagnostic facilities, and emphasize the need for epidemiology studies in light of prevalence statistics available for ...
Slip suppression in prosthetic hands using a reflective optical sensor and MPI controller
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Prosthetic hands have greatly evolved in mechatronic, robotic and control aspects. However, occasional accidents might happen due to excessive grip force or the breaking of contact due to slip. Fast transient slip events ...
A review on porous polymer composite materials for multifunctional electronic applications
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article Review)
This review is focused on the rapidly expanding field of porous materials for the sensor, actuator, energy storage and energy generation application. The synthesis methods to produce excellent porous composites and designs ...

Pareto-front analysis of a monotonie PI control law for slip suppression in a robotic manipulator
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a novel slip-suppression controller for a two-fingered robotic manipulator, where the goal is to minimize the slip distance without using excessive force. To do this, we consider monotonic PI (MPI) ...
Recognition of Aggressive Interactions of Children Toward Robotic Toys
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Social robots are now being considered to be a part of the therapy of children with autism. During the interactions, some aggressive behaviors could lead to harmful scenarios. The ability of a social robot to detect such ...
