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 ... -
Dataset for influence of visual and haptic feedback on the detection of threshold forces in a surgical grasping task
( Elsevier , 2022 , Dataset)The data is related to minimal force thresholds perception in robotic surgical grasping applications. The experimental setup included an indenter-based haptic device acting on the fingertip of a participant and a visual ... -
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 ... -
Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy is associated with increased glycemic variability driven by hyperglycemia rather than hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)AimCardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) has been suggested to be associated with hypoglycemia and impaired hypoglycemia unawareness. We have assessed the relationship between CAN and extensive measures of glucose variability ... -
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 ... -
