This paper approaches the issues of human-robot interaction in extreme human-robot interface situations, defined as those which provide a real physical intervention in a person's body by a robot. Robots that belong to this group perform tasks such as tattooing, collecting blood and doing surgery. Authors use a Lynxmotion AL5B mechanical arm controlled via Botboarduino named BOTicelli to make simple...
This paper describes in detail the robot platform used in a rehabilitation program for children with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) under a project to compare a rehabilitation program through robotics (1) with a conventional rehabilitation program directed to parents (2) and a control group where no specific intervention is done (3). As LEGO ® has been demonstrated as a useful robotic tool able to enhance...
Many robots capable of performing social behaviors have recently been developed for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) studies. These social robots are applied in various domains such as education, entertainment, medicine, and collaboration. Besides the undisputed advantages, a major difficulty in HRI studies with social robots is that the robot platforms are typically expensive and/or not open-source...
In this paper, we describe the concept of remixing playware, which allows sampling and remixing of both physical and functional (e.g. music content) aspects of a system. Such remixing playware has a number of distinguished features which are explained in the paper: user-configurable modularity, which allows the user to interact and manipulate with samples; user-guided behavior-based system, which...
