Design and verification of a flexible device for steering a tethered capsule endoscope in the stomach
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Capsule endoscopy is a good method of gastric cancer diagnosis that has some advantages over conventional endoscopy, such as providing reliable results without substantial discomfort to patients. However, lack of capsule ...
Experimental characterization of a tactile sensor for surgical applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
© 2018 IEEE. This paper presents an improved piezoelectric sensor fabricated using reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-filled polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer composite that is able to sense the linear force applied onto its ...

, 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 ...
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, ...
