Accompany : Acceptable robotiCs COMPanions for AgeiNG Years - Multidimensional aspects of human-system interactions
Amirabdollahian, F.; Koay, K.L.; Saunders, J.; Dautenhahn, K.; Op Den Akker, R.; Evers, V.; Bedaf, S.; Gelderblom, Gert Jan; Bormann, R.; Reiser, U.; Draper, H.; Iacono, I.; Marti, P.; Hu, N.; Krose, B.; Ruiz, C.G.; Hewson, D.; Michel, H.; Prevot-Huille, H.; Sorell, T. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-06)With changes in life expectancy across the world, technologies enhancing well-being of individuals, specifically for older people, are subject to a new stream of research and development. In this paper we present the ... -
Can you trust your robotic assistant?
Amirabdollahian, F.; Dautenhahn, K.; Dixon, C.; Eder, K.; Fisher, M.; Koay, K.L.; Magid, E.; Pipe, T.; Salem, M.; Saunders, J.; Webster, M. (Springer Nature, 2013-10)Robotic assistants are being developed to assist with a range of tasks at work and home. Besides designing and developing such robotic assistants, a key issue that needs to be addressed is showing that they are both safe ... -
Histogram based classification of tactile patterns on periodically distributed skin sensors for a humanoid robot
Ji, Z.; Amirabdollahian, F.; Polani, D.; Dautenhahn, K. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)The main target of this work is to improve human-robot interaction capabilities, by adding a new modality of sense, touch, to KASPAR, a humanoid robot. Large scale distributed skin-like sensors are designed and integrated ... -
Investigating tactile event recognition in child-robot interaction for use in autism therapy
Amirabdollahian, F.; Robins, B.; Dautenhahn, K.; Ji, Z. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)The work presented in this paper is part of our investigation in the ROBOSKIN project. The project aims to develop and demonstrate a range of new robot capabilities based on robot skin tactile feedback from large areas of ... -
Performance based upper extremity training : A pilot study evaluation with the GENTLE/A rehabilitation system
Chemuturi, R.; Amirabdollahian, F.; Dautenhahn, K. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)Robots as rehabilitative devices are increasingly utilised in research in this area given their capability to offer repetitive task-oriented training and potentials to augment therapies with more interactive mediums. Various ... -
Robot self-preservation and adaptation to user preferences in game play : a preliminary study
Castro-González, A.; Amirabdollahian, F.; Polani, D.; Malfaz, M.; Salichs, M.A. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)It is expected that in a near future, personal robots will be endowed with enough autonomy to function and live in an individual's home. This is while commercial robots are designed with default configuration and factory ... -
Tactile interaction with a humanoid robot for children with autism: a case study analysis involving user requirements and results of an initial implementation
Robins, B.; Amirabdollahian, F.; Ji, Z.; Dautenhahn, K. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)The work presented in this paper is part of our investigation in the ROBOSKIN project. The project aims to develop and demonstrate a range of new robot capabilities based on the tactile feedback provided by a robotic skin. ... -
Using an embedded reality approach to improve test reliability for NHPT tasks
Bowler, M.; Amirabdollahian, F.; Dautenhahn, K. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)Research into the use of haptic and virtual reality technologies has increased greatly over the past decade, in terms of both quality and quantity. Methods to utilise haptic and virtual technologies with currently existing ...
