Virtual reality (VR) is regarded as a useful tool for teleoperation systems and provides operators with immersive visual feedback on the robot environment. However, without any haptic or physical constructions, VR-based normally suffer from poor maneuverability, operational faults may be caused in some fine movements. In this article, we employ mixed (MR), which combines real virtual worlds, to develop novel system. A new system design control algorithms are proposed. For design, an MR...

Abstract Safety is a fundamental prerequisite that must be addressed before any interaction of robots with humans. has been generally understood and studied as the physical safety in human–robot interaction, whereas how humans perceive these received less attention. Physical necessary condition for safe interaction. However, it not sufficient condition. A robot by hardware software design can still perceived unsafe. This article focuses on We identified six factors are closely related to...

Probiotics are suggested to impact physiological and psychological stress responses by acting on the gut-brain axis. We investigated if a probiotic product containing Bifidobacterium longum R0175, Lactobacillus helveticus R0052 Lactiplantibacillus plantarum R1012 affected processing in double-blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled, crossover proof-of-concept study (NCT03615651). Twenty-two healthy subjects (24.2 ± 3.4 years, 6 men/16 women) underwent placebo intervention for 4 weeks each,...

Failures are natural and unavoidable events in any form of interaction, especially human-robot interactions (HRI). Throughout the literature, definition classification failures diverse, depending on source application domain. However, tolerance to aftereffect these is low teleoperation due its unstructured domains. One such type failure called human induced interaction failure. This an interesting often overlooked type, perspective that robots designed always obey instructions given by...
