For instance, recent research provided many examples of possible applications of robots in the education and rehabilitation of people with learning difficulties and/or intellectual disabilities. In this paper, we present a study on how cultural backgrounds can influence the perception and intention to use a robot as an instrument in the future practice. The study involved 37 Italian students and 37 UK students, as future professionals in the field of psychology, which experienced the actual capabilities of a humanoid robot through a live demo. In this work, we explored the main factors of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) with the aim to reveal cultural differences. The instrument used was the UTAUT questionnaire, which was designed and validated to investigate the robot acceptance and use. A significant difference on the intention to use the robot is reported in our results. The discriminant analysis produced a very high degree of separation between the two groups, confirming that there is a different approach toward the use of robotics between the two cultures.","PeriodicalId":119467,"journal":{"name":"2015 24th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126982739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially within the rehabilitation domain, a grand challenge is to program a robot to mimic the operation of an occupational therapist, intervening with the user when necessary so as to improve the therapeutic power of the assistive robotic system. We propose a method to estimate assistance policies from expert demonstrations to present human-like intervention during navigation in a powered wheelchair setup. For this purpose, we constructed a setting, where a human offers assistance to the user over a haptic shared control system. The robot learns from human assistance demonstrations while the user is actively driving the wheelchair in an unconstrained environment. We train a Gaussian process regression model to learn assistance commands given past and current actions of the user and the state of the environment. The results indicate that the model can estimate human assistance after only a single demonstration, i.e. in one-shot, so that the robot can help the user by selecting the appropriate assistance in a human-like fashion.","PeriodicalId":119467,"journal":{"name":"2015 24th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129976223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of a robot measuring routine vital signs in a family medicine clinic in a rural setting. The length of patient consultations was compared before (N = 85 patients) and after a robot was deployed in the clinic (N = 48 patients). A Cafero touchscreen robot took the patient's vital signs prior to the consultation and transferred the results to the medical professional's computer. Time-savings were calculated in New Zealand dollar terms and compared to the costs of the robot and its maintenance. Results showed that consultation lengths were cut by 18% on average (3 minutes and 13 seconds). If 20% of the clinics' annual consultations were augmented with the robot this translates to a total annual savings of NZ$19075. The annual cost of the robot was calculated to be NZ$9400 overs 5 years. Present value calculations of Benefit Cost result in a Benefit Cost ratio of 2.3. These results support the cost-effectiveness of the robot in a rural medical clinic. Further research is needed to improve the services provided by the robot and test it in a larger trial.","PeriodicalId":119467,"journal":{"name":"2015 24th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125547006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the way the receptionist robot should appear, sound and behave needs to be investigated carefully, in order to design a robot which is accepted and perceived in a positive way by common users. This paper describes a study on anthropomorphism of a receptionist robot made for Brazilian people depending on the appearance and on the voice of the receptionist. This experiment was preceded by a preliminary survey about expectation of people regarding receptionists. The main experiment consisted in having Brazilian people interacting with a conversational agent and with a humanoid robot through a video conference. The two receptionists are not only different in physical appearance, but in the sound of the voice, too, which can be either human-like or robotic sound. The two receptionists gave indications to the participants to reach rooms where they could evaluate the receptionists through questionnaires concerning anthropomorphism and uncanniness among other concepts. The results gathered from both experiments provide useful hints to design a receptionist robot.","PeriodicalId":119467,"journal":{"name":"2015 24th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131185529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many aspects of rope-work, e.g., making knots, hitches, and bends, it is important to control not only the topological relations (e.g., a tangle of string), but also to control the shape (e.g., the position, size, and so on). The shape of the rope on a table is the starting stage of the rope-work in that it affects the result of the rope-work, e.g., the position and size of a knot. Thus, it is necessary to generate hand trajectories automatically according to the target rope-shape when executing rope-work with a robot arm. To generate trajectories from a tabletop target shape, it is necessary to consider a positional relationship between the robot hand and the touchdown point, which is the point that the rope is placed on the table. In this study we propose a rope-shape model which can be used in limited situations, and derive hand trajectories from the model in a simple manner. The parameter needed for the model is easily identified. An experiment of making a loop was conducted to verify the effectiveness and limitations of the proposed method. As further verification, the method was applied to making a clove hitch using a dual-arm robot. In the starting stage of tying a clove hitch, two loops were created in a specified shape, and the clove hitch was successfully tied.","PeriodicalId":119467,"journal":{"name":"2015 24th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130664771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
