The intrinsic compliance of soft robots provides safety, a natural adaptation to its
environment, allows to absorb shocks, and protects them against mechanical impacts …

Soft robots are, due to their softness, inherently safe and adapt well to unstructured
environments. However, they are prone to various damage types. Self‐healing polymers …

Inspired by the compliance found in many organisms, soft robots are made almost entirely
out of flexible, soft material, making them suitable for applications in uncertain, dynamic task …

We present a systematic survey of computational research in humanrobot interaction (HRI)
over the past decade. Computational HRI is the subset of the field that is specifically …

This paper aims to study the role of the social robot Probo in providing assistance to a
therapist for robot assisted therapy (RAT) with autistic children. Children with autism have …

Abstract Robot-Assisted Therapy (RAT) has successfully been used to improve social skills
in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) through remote control of the robot in so …

Robots of today are eager to leave constrained industrial environments and embrace
unexplored and unstructured areas, for extensive applications in the real world as service …

This paper explores how humans interpret displays of emotion produced by a social robot in
real world situated interaction. Taking a multimodal conversation analytic approach, we …

Purpose On the verge of what has been hailed as the next technological revolution, the
purpose of this paper is to examine scientific and popular definitions of the social robot …

For social robots to effectively engage in human–robot interaction (HRI), they need to be
able to interpret human affective cues and to respond appropriately via display of their own …
