Such interactions can be considered a performance in front of others, when the relationship with potential observers may affect user preferences for different interaction styles. From a psychological perspective, public interactions may feel embarrassing or disturbing, but they also provide the opportunity for favorable self-presentation or connection with others. The present study investigated how the presence of different observers (i.e., acquaintance, stranger) emphasizes different psychological needs and, in turn, affects preferences for more or less expressive interactions with a service robot. Results show that users' need for relatedness was higher when imagining a robot interaction with close observers, while popularity was more important with unknown observers. Relatedness was directly linked to a preference for more expressive interactions, regardless of the expected outcome. In contrast, popularity led to stronger expressivity preferences only when users anticipated a successful interaction for which they could take credit. Our research provides valuable insights into the impact of user-observer-relationship on public HCI, and can inspire designers to take into account how present others and users' expectation of successful outcomes may call for different degrees of expressivity in interaction design.","PeriodicalId":47597,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Robotics and AI","volume":"12 ","pages":"1538711"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12040957/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144003381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laser-based osteotomy systems have emerged as a promising solution for these constraints. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of robot-guided laser osteotomy compared to conventional cutting-guided osteotomy based on surface scanning.Materials and methods: Ten 3D printed mandibular models were used to perform segmentectomy. Five models were treated with conventional osteotomies employing a cutting-guided saw technique, while the remaining five were subjected to laser osteotomy. Initially conducted using root mean square (RMS) values, the analysis has been expanded to reevaluate the angulation and distance deviation outcomes.Results: Precision analysis of the upper cutting plane revealed a statistically significant difference in distance deviation between the laser osteotomy group (0.48 mm) and the conventional osteotomy group (0.78 mm). In terms of angulation deviation, the laser osteotomy group exhibited, both in the upper and lower cutting planes, statistically significant results (2.19° and 2.86°) compared to the osteotomy group (5.15° and 8.12°).Conclusion: Based on the observed angulation and distance deviations, it can be concluded that robot-guided laser systems achieve significantly higher accuracy in osteotomies than conventional cutting-guided systems currently available. Consistent with the findings of a prior study, these results confirm that robot-guided laser osteotomy provides substantial advantages, facilitating the seamless integration of precise virtual preoperative planning with exact execution in the human body.","PeriodicalId":47597,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Robotics and AI","volume":"12 ","pages":"1559483"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12040628/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144034508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article addresses the trajectory tracking control issue for an USV subject to model uncertainties and actuator faults. A logarithm barrier Lyapunov functions based predefined tracking control scheme is proposed to regulate the position error of the USV into predefined performance region. Then, to ensure the predefined transient and steady state tracking performance of the USV in the presence of actuator faults, we propose an adaptive fuzzy fault-tolerant controller to address the actuator faults. Additionally, to deal with the uncertainties arising from the USV system model, fuzzy logic systems are utilized to estimate the unknown hydrodynamic parameters. Based on the Lyapunov stability criterion, it can be demonstrated that all the closed-loop signals are bounded. Finally, the validity of the developed control scheme is demonstrated from simulation results.","PeriodicalId":47597,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Robotics and AI","volume":"12 ","pages":"1576171"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12015164/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144050742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this task is complicated by strong cultural and linguistic influences on gesture patterns, exacerbated by the limited availability of cross-cultural co-speech gesture datasets. To address this gap, we introduce the TED-Culture Dataset, a novel dataset derived from TED talks, designed to enable cross-cultural gesture generation based on linguistic cues. We propose a generative model based on the Stable Diffusion architecture, which we evaluate on both the TED-Expressive Dataset and the TED-Culture Dataset. The model is further implemented on the NAO robot to assess real-time performance. Our model surpasses state-of-the-art baselines in gesture naturalness and exhibits rapid convergence across languages, specifically Indonesian, Japanese, and Italian. Objective and subjective evaluations confirm improvements in communicative effectiveness. Notably, results reveal that individuals are more critical of gestures in their native language, expecting higher generative performance in familiar linguistic contexts. By releasing the TED-Culture Dataset, we facilitate future research on multilingual gesture generation for embodied agents. The study underscores the importance of cultural and linguistic adaptation in co-speech gesture synthesis, with implications for human-robot interaction design.","PeriodicalId":47597,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Robotics and AI","volume":"12 ","pages":"1546765"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12011587/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144056521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Implemented using ROS2, the framework comprises four core components: scene analysis, a bidding platform, social agents, and a feedback service. A Validation through simulated experiments shows the architecture's feasibility and adaptability, with respect to varying feedback conditions and learning rates.

Twelve participants (aged 60-97) were recruited to interact with the robot and give feedback regarding support in a home environment. Stretch is a mobile robot manipulator designed to support everyday activities using a lightweight telescoping arm mounted on a mobile base. We conducted a semi-structured interview with participants as they observed and interacted with Stretch, performing tasks such as providing reminders, picking up and delivering items, and facilitating video calls.Results and discussion: The participants were asked to share potential areas of application related to their daily activities to illustrate how Stretch could support them in their homes.
