For some years now, the use of social, anthropomorphic robots in various situations has
been on the rise. These are robots developed to interact with humans and are equipped with …

Computational motor control covers all applications of quantitative tools for the study of the
biological movement control system. This paper provides a review of this field in the form of …

Objective: The last decades have seen a surge of robots for physical training and work
assistance. How to best control these interfaces is unknown, although arguably the …

In the Turing test a computer model is deemed to “think intelligently” if it can generate
answers that are indistinguishable from those of a human. We developed an analogous …

In bilateral teleoperation, a human operator manipulates a remote environment through a
pair of master and slave robots. The transparency quantifies the fidelity of the teleoperation …

In this letter, we investigate the role of haptic feedback in human-robot handshaking by
comparing different force controllers. The basic hypothesis is that in human handshaking …

This paper focuses on the development and evaluation of a haptic enhanced virtual reality
system which allows a human user to make physical handshakes with a virtual partner …

In this paper we present a method for evaluating a haptic device which simulates human
handshakes interfaced via a metal rod. We provide an overview of the haptic demonstrator …

In order to facilitate and improve robots social acceptance, they must be equipped with
behaviors similar to those of humans. It is therefore necessary to study and model the …

Purpose This study aims to conceptualize the characteristics of artificial intelligence (AI)
dogs while exploring their applications in tourism and hospitality settings …
