Particle-image velocimetry (PIV) offers lots of advantages for studying fluid mechanics. Many PIV techniques and systems have been developed. However, no standard evaluation tool evaluating the effectiveness accuracy has established. To popularize practically, each system there should be some means performance. involves two processes, i.e. capturing image visualization analysis. In order to evaluate analysis, use images proposed. Using these images, anybody can The grouped into three...
This article proposes a new field of research called Cloud Networked Robotics, which tackles the issues for supporting daily activity, especially elderly and disabled, throughout various locations in continuously seamless manner by abstracting robotic devices providing means utilizing them as cloud robots. With recent advances development environments integrated multi-robot systems, robots are acquiring richer functionalities systems becoming much easier to develop. However, such stand-alone...
The design progress in a compact low aspect ratio (low A ) DEMO reactor, ‘SlimCS’, and its issues are reported. study focused mainly on the torus configuration including blanket, divertor, materials maintenance scheme. For continuity with Japanese ITER-TBM, blanket is based water-cooled solid breeder blanket. vertical stability of elongated plasma high beta access, segmented into replaceable permanent blankets sector-wide conducting shell arranged inbetween these blankets. numerical...
Brain-machine interface (BMI) systems have been widely studied to allow people with motor paralysis conditions control assistive robotic devices that replace or recover lost function but not extend the capabilities of healthy users. We report an experiment in which participants were able their by using a noninvasive BMI human-like arm and achieve multitasking. Experimental results demonstrate reliably perform goal-oriented task while simultaneously own arms do different task. This outcome...
The uncanny valley theory proposed by Mori has been heavily investigated in the recent years researchers from various fields. However, videos and images used these studies did not permit any human interaction with objects. Therefore, field of human-robot it is still unclear what, if any, impact an uncanny-looking robot will have context interaction. In this paper we describe exploratory empirical study using a live paradigm that involved repeated interactions robots differed embodiment their...
Operators of a pair robotic hands report ownership for those when they hold image grasp motion and watch the robot perform it. We present novel body illusion that is induced by merely watching controlling robot's motions through brain machine interface. In past studies, illusions were correlation such sensory inputs as vision, touch proprioception. However, in presented none mentioned sensations are integrated except vision. Our results show during BMI-operation hands, interaction between...
Brain computer interfaces (BCIs) have been developed and implemented in many areas as a new communication channel between the human brain external devices. Despite their rapid growth broad popularity, inaccurate performance cost of user-training are yet main issues that prevent application out research clinical environment. We previously introduced BCI system for control very humanlike android could raise sense embodiment agency operators only by imagining movement (motor imagery) watching...
Abstract An increasing number of companion robots have started reaching the public in recent years. These vary their appearance and behavior. Since these two factors can an impact on lasting human–robot relationships, it is important to understand effect for robots.We conducted experiment that evaluated a robot’s its behaviour repeated interactions perceived empathy, trustworthiness anxiety experienced by human. The results indicate highly humanlike robot as less trustworthy empathic than...
The concept for a compact DEMO reactor named 'SlimCS' is presented. Distinctive features of the are low aspect ratio (A = 2.6) and use reduced-size centre solenoid (CS) which has function plasma shaping rather than poloidal flux supply. CS enables us to introduce thin toroidal field coil system contributes reducing weight perhaps lessening construction cost. Low-A merits vertical stability high elongation (κ) normalized beta (βN), leads power density with reasonable physics requirements....
Feedback design is an important issue in motor imagery BCI systems. Regardless, to date it has not been reported how feedback presentation can optimize co-adaptation between a human brain and such This paper assesses the effect of realistic visual on users' performance skills. We previously developed tele-operation system for pair humanlike robotic hands showed that control along with first-person perspective movements arouse sense embodiment operators. In first stage this study, we found...
There is a lack of physical contact in current telecommunications such as text messaging and Internet access. To challenge the limitation re-embody telecommunication, researchers have attempted to introduce tactile stimulation media developed huggable devices. Previous experiments Japan showed that communication technology, i.e., Hugvie decreased stress level its female users. In present experiment Denmark, we aim investigate (i) whether can decrease cross-culturally, Japanese vs. Danish...
Background and Objectives: Diabetes is a rapidly increasing global health challenge compounded by critical shortage of diabetes care education specialists. Robot-assisted offers cost-effective scalable alternative to traditional methods such as training dispatching human experts. This pilot study aimed evaluate the feasibility using robots for consultations examining their ability elicit meaningful patient feedback, identify therapeutic issues, assess potential substitutes Materials Methods:...
In order to facilitate integration into domestic and public environments, companion robots can seek communicate in a familiar, "socially intelligent" manner, recognizing typical behaviors which people direct toward them. One important type of behavior recognize is the displaying seeking affection, fundamentally associated with modality touch. This paper identifies how affection through touching humanoid robot appearance, reports on development recognition system exploring modalities touch...
This work presents a case study on fieldwork in group home for the elderly with dementia using teleoperated robot called Telenoid. We compared Telenoid-mediated and face-to-face conditions three residents Alzheimer's disease (AD). The result indicates that two of moderate AD showed positive reaction to Both became less nervous while communicating Telenoid from time they were first introduced it. Moreover, started use more body gestures condition physical interactions condition. In this work,...
To provide multidimensional control, we describe the first reported decoding of bilateral hand movements by using single-trial magnetoencephalography signals as a new approach to enhance user's ability interact with complex environment through brain-machine interface. Ten healthy participants performed or imagined four types during neuromagnetic measurements. By applying support vector machine (SVM) method classify regarding sensor data obtained from sensorimotor area, found mean accuracy...
In this research, a new system of telecommunication called "Telenoid" is presented which focuses on the idea transferring human's "presence". Telenoid was developed to appear and behave as minimal design human features. (Fig. 2(A)) A conveys impression existence at first glance, but it doesn't suggest anything about personal features such being male or female, old young. Previously an android with more realistic Geminoid proposed. However, because its unique appearance, copy model, too...
EEG-based brain computer interface (BCI) systems have demonstrated potential to assist patients with devastating motor paralysis conditions. However, there is great interest in shifting the BCI trend toward applications aimed at healthy users. Although operation depends on technological factors (i.e., EEG pattern classification algorithm) and human how well person can generate good quality patterns), it latter that least investigated. In order control a imagery-based BCI, users need learn...
Teleoperated androids, which are robots with humanlike appearances, being produced as new media of human relationships. We explored the potential humanoid and how they affect people in real world when employed to express a telecommunication presence sense 'being there'. introduced Telenoid, teleoperated android, residential care facility see elderly dementia respond it. Our exploratory study focused on social aspects that might facilitate communication between Telenoid's operator. Telenoid...
