  1. 1. DIFFERENTIAL OUTCOME TRAINING AND HUMANOID ROBOT FEEDBACK ON A VISUOSPATIAL GAMIFIED TASK: An experimental study investigating learning, affective social engagement cues and cognitive learning strategies

    University essay from Institutionen för tillämpad informationsteknologi

    Author : Alva Markelius; Sofia Sjöberg; [2023-02-01]
    Keywords : Human-robot interaction; gamified memory task; dementia; differential outcome theory; Furhat; engagement; digitalised treatments; robot assistance;

    Abstract : By combining Differential Outcome Training (DOT), the usage of unique stimulus-response pairings, and feedback from a humanoid simulated robot (SDK) this study aims to improve learning performance of subjects on a visuospatial gamified memory task. This is achieved by using the SDK as an interface for an algorithm that provides audiovisual, reinforcing feedback promoting engangement in a new dyadic setup for a gamified task. READ MORE

  3. 2. Human and Robot Narrator: How Gestures Affect Comprehension and Recollection

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kognitionsvetenskap

    Author : Johannes Rosenfrost; [2023]
    Keywords : Cognitive Science; Cognition; Embodiment; Humanoid Robots; Social Robots; HRI; Human-Robot-Interaction; Social Interaction; Robotics; Linguistics; Communication; Multimodality; Non-verbal; Gestures; Narration; Comprehension; Recollection; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis investigated if a human or a robot narrator affected listeners’ comprehension and memory recollection similarly in a narrative story. 103 participants (MeanAge = 35) were recruited to an online experiment to investigate if gestures affected the participants’ narrative comprehension and recollection more than a narrator that did not produce gestures.

  4. 3. Ambivalent encounters : A feminist exploration of human and feminised AI humanoid relations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Centrum för genusvetenskap

    Author : Sara Margret Sigurdardottir; [2022]
    Keywords : Artificial intelligence; robot embodiment; Klara and the Sun; artist robot; sex robots; affect; human-machine relations;

    Abstract : Machines encoded with artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly having influence in human social realms. Rapid technological advances have propelled encounters between humans and embodied AI humanoids from a subject of science fiction to a real-world phenomenon. READ MORE

  5. 4. Behind Every Social Robot Finds itself a Community of Developers: A socio-legal exploration on developers of humanoid social robots with a focus on the context of depression diagnosis and its embedded gender norms.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Rättssociologiska institutionen

    Author : Laetitia Tanqueray; [2021]
    Keywords : Socially Assistive Robots; HRI; Sociology of Law; Depression Diagnosis; Gender norms; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : The rise in new digital technology is bringing with it new ethical questions around how we, as a society, can trust them. However, what if the question was before the technology itself? What if the role of the developers was influencing the way those new technologies were being programmed? This thesis situates itself at the point of exploration, where developers of humanoid social robots look for ways to advance the human-robot interaction as a field as well as getting social robots commercial-ised.

  6. 5. Practical evaluation of the viability of sensorsand algorithms to detect falling and burial by avalanche

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Justus Conradi; Patrik Tiainen; [2021]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Master thesis; fall detection; burial detection; avalanche; skiing; IMU; FSR; Mekatronik; mastersavhandling; fallavkänning; begravningsavkänning; lavin; skidåkning; IMU; FSR;

    Abstract : Avalanches kill on average 250 people per year. Fall detection algorithms have been used to detect many different types of falls. In this work, a robust humanoid test rigwas designed and built to investigate the use of proven threshold based fall detection algorithms during skiing. READ MORE
