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 ...
Longitudinal Studies of Wearables in Patients with Diabetes: Key Issues and Solutions
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Glucose monitoring is key to the management of diabetes mellitus to maintain optimal glucose control whilst avoiding hypoglycemia. Non-invasive continuous glucose monitoring techniques have evolved considerably to replace ...
Heart Rate as a Predictor of Challenging Behaviours among Children with Autism from Wearable Sensors in Social Robot Interactions
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Children with autism face challenges in various skills (e.g., communication and social) and they exhibit challenging behaviours. These challenging behaviours represent a challenge to their families, therapists, and caregivers, ...
Real-Time Social Robot’s Responses to Undesired Interactions Between Children and their Surroundings
(

, 2022 , Conference Paper)
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. ...
Anthropomorphism and Its Negative Attitudes, Sociability, Animacy, Agency, and Disturbance Requirements for Social Robots: A Pilot Study
(
springer link
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
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 ...
Influence of the shape and mass of a small robot when thrown to a dummy human head
(

, 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 ...
Detection of challenging behaviours of children with autism using wearable sensors during interactions with social robots
(
IEEE Explore
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
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, ...
