In this paper, we highlight the usage of AI in software development process for Robotic systems, in general and HRI systems, in particular. The software as well as the software development methodology and associated tools are knowledgebased systems. The key challenge is to represent domain knowledge that enables the process and model evolution to built complex software intensive HRI systems.

Visual focus of attention (VFOA) has been shown to be a strong indicator of human intent and engagement, and thus, an important feature to human-robot interaction (HRI). As a mature research problem in computer vision, VFOA recognition has been implemented in environments as complex as group meetings. In this paper, we define and leverage the relatively simple and highly-constrained environment...

This paper provides a set of definitions that form a framework for describing the types of awareness that humans have of robot activities and the knowledge that robots have of the commands given them by humans. As a case study, we applied this human-robot interaction (HRI) awareness framework to our analysis of the HRI approaches used at an urban search and rescue competition. We determined tha...

Human-robot interaction (HRI) has emerged as a crucial research area in the field of mechatronic systems, offering significant potential for advancing technological capabilities and enhancing various domains human life. This abstract explores challenges opportunities realm HRI within systems. It begins by providing an overview importance its impact on development The then delves into faced achi...

With robots appearing frequently within our society, the cases will be higher where people with little or no practical experience in robotics would have to supervise robots. Future interfaces should make Human Robot Interactions (HRI) intuitive for such less-experienced users. A key requirement to have an intuitive interface is to improve the level of HRI performance. In this study we try to im...

Abstract We argue for an interdisciplinary approach that connects existing models and theories in Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) to traditions communication theory. In this article, we review of interpersonal interaction have been applied developed the contexts HRI social robotics. often, symmetric are proposed which human robot agents depicted as having similar ways functioning (similar capabil...

BACKGROUND We used data from a random telephone survey of 2045 adults in Recife, Brazil to investigate the associations of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with selected factors. METHODS We generated odds ratios of 4 HRQoL measures (perception of overall health, mentally unhealthy days, physically unhealthy days, and physically and mentally unhealthy days impeding usual activities) by l...

The activation of N-Methyl D-Aspartate Receptor (NMDAR) by glutamate is crucial in the nervous system function, particularly in memory and learning. NMDAR is composed by two GluN1 and two GluN2 subunits. GluN2B has been reported to participate in the prevalent NMDAR subtype at synapses, the GluN1/2A/2B. Here we studied the regulation of GluN2B expression in cortical neurons finding that glutama...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several trials have shown that stroke unit care improves outcome for stroke patients. The aim of the present trial was to evaluate the effects of an extended stroke unit service (ESUS), with early supported discharge, cooperation with the primary healthcare system, and more emphasis on rehabilitation at home as essential elements. METHODS In a randomized, controlled tri...
