A great deal of research has been performed recently on robots that feature functions for communicating with humans in daily life, i.e., communication robots. We consider it important to develop methods measure humans’ attitudes and emotions may prevent them from interaction robots, as indices study short-term long-term between This is aimed at exploring the influence negative toward focusing applications daily-life services. First, a scale consisting three subordinate scales, “negative...
A novel class of living radical polymerization using amines as organic catalysts was developed. It is based on a new reversible activation mechanism, complexation (RC). The polymer molecular weight and its distribution (Mw/Mn = 1.1–1.4) were well controlled in the polymerizations methyl methacrylate (MMA), styrene, acrylonitrile, some functional methacrylates with fairly high conversion hours many cases. include such common triethylamine tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA). Their low cost,...
In order to study short-term and long-term influence of communication robots in daily-life applications, it is necessary develop psychological scales measuring mental states users social trends on them. This paper focuses negative attitudes anxiety toward robots, shows results obtained through development
Two computational models, Simulating WAve till SHore (SWASH) and DualSPHysics, with different costs capabilities have been hybridized in this work. SWASH is a time-domain wave model based on finite difference method for simulating nonhydrostatic, free-surface rotational flow while DualSPHysics Lagrangian mesh-less the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) technique. reliable to generate propagate waves large domains, whereas normally used areas close coastline provide detailed description of...
The stability of Tetrapod armour units against solitary waves using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is analysed in this work. To purpose, the SPH-based DualSPHysics code was coupled with multiphysics library Project Chrono. are placed above a submerged mound. solves fluid-solid interaction, while Chrono Tetrapod-mound interactions based on contact and material properties block surface. motion during simulation compared physical model experiments where Tetrapods made mortar,...
Laboratory experiments of wave propagation over rigid and flexible vegetation fields, with the same configurations, were conducted to understand effect flexibility on drag coefficient (CD). The direct method least squares (LSM), based force flow measurements, are applied calculate CD in experimental conditions. formulations both methods extended estimate for cases. A video analysis was performed account swaying motion. Typically, dissipation is lower than configuration, under condition....
This study presents the result of a cross-cultural negative attitude towards robots. A questionnaire was presented to Dutch, Chinese and Japanese participants based on Negative Attitude Robots Scale (NARS). Against our expectation, did not have particularly positive
To broadly explore the rationale behind more socially acceptable robot design and to investigate psychological aspects of social acceptance robotics, a cross-cultural research instrument, Robot Assumptions Questionnaire (RAQ) was administered university students in Japan, Korea, United States, focusing on five factors relating humanoid animal-type robots: relative autonomy, relationship with humans, emotional aspects, roles assumed, images held. As result, it found that (1) Students States...
To investigate whether people with social anxiety have less actual and "anticipatory" when interacting a robot compared to person, we conducted 2 × psychological experiment two factors: interaction partner (a human confederate robot). The was in counseling setting where participant played the role of client or counselor. First, measured participants' using Social Avoidance Distress Scale, after which, their at specific moments: "anticipatory anxiety" they knew that would be confederate,...
To accurately predict the consequences of nearshore waves, coastal engineers often employ numerical models. A variety these models, broadly classified as either phase-resolving or phase-averaged, exist; each with strengths and limitations owing to physical schematization processes within them. Models which resolve vertical flow structure full wave spectrum (i.e. sea-swell (SS) infragravity (IG) waves) are considered more accurate, but also computationally demanding than those approximations....
