Pilot studies applying a humanoid robot (NAO), pet (PARO) and real animal (DOG) in therapy sessions of patients with dementia nursing home day care center.In the home, were assigned by living units, based on severity, to one three parallel therapeutic arms compare: CONTROL, PARO NAO (Phase 1) PARO, DOG 2). In center, all received Therapy held 2 days per week during 3 months. Evaluation, at baseline follow-up, was carried out blind raters using: Global Deterioration Scale (GDS), Severe Mini...
Mechatronics and Robotics (MaR) have recently gained importance in product development manufacturing settings applications. Therefore, the Center for Space Emerging Technologies (C-SET) has managed an international multi-disciplinary study to present, historically, first Latin American general review of industrial, collaborative, mobile robotics, with support North European researchers institutions. The methodology is developed by considering literature extracted from Scopus, Web Science,...
Tracking people has many applications, such as security or safe use of robots. Many onboard systems are based on Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensors. peoples' legs using only information from a 2D LIDAR scanner in mobile robot is challenging problem because can be present an indoor environment, there frequent occlusions self-occlusions, items the environment table columns could resemble result limited provided by two-dimensional usually mounted at knee height robots, etc. On...

Developments in mobile robot navigation have enabled robots to operate warehouses, retail stores, and on sidewalks around pedestrians. Various solutions been proposed, though few as widely adopted ROS Navigation. 10 years on, it is still one of the most popular solutions. Yet, Navigation has failed keep up with modern trends. We propose new solution, Navigation2, which builds successful legacy Navigation2 uses a behavior tree for navigator task orchestration employs methods designed dynamic...
Humanoids have increasingly become the focus of attention in robotics research recent years, especially service and personal assistance robotics. This paper presents application developed for humanoid robots therapy dementia patients as a cognitive stimulation tool. The behaviour robot during sessions is visually programmed session script that allows music to play, physical movements (dancing, exercises, etc.), speech synthesis interaction with human monitor. includes control software on...
The tracking of people is an indispensable capacity in almost any robotic application. A relevant case the @home competitions, where service robots have to demonstrate that they possess certain skills allow them interact with environment and who occupy it; for example, receiving knock at door attending as appropriate. Many these are based on ability detect track a person. It challenging problem, particularly when implemented using low-definition sensors, such Laser Imaging Detection Ranging...
Assessment of safety critical systems including software cannot rely only on conventional techniques, based statistics and dependability models. In such systems, the predominant faults usually are design faults, which very hard to predict. Therefore, assessment can be qualitative, is performed by experts, who take into account various evidence sources. The aim SERENE European project improve understandability, repeatability assessments, thanks a representation expert's reasoning mathematical...
Autonomous robots need to plan the tasks they carry out fulfill their missions. The missions' increasing complexity does not let human designers anticipate all possible situations, so traditional control systems based on state machines are enough. This paper contains a description of ROS2 Planning System (PlanSys2 in short), framework for symbolic planning that incorporates novel approaches execution working demanding environments. PlanSys2 aims be reference task ROS2, latest version de...
Robots have begun to populate the everyday environments of human beings. These social robots must perform their tasks without disturbing people with whom they share environment. This paper proposes a navigation algorithm for that is acceptable people. will detect personal areas humans, carry out tasks, generating routes less impact on activities. The main novelty this work robot perceive moods adjust size proxemic areas. contribute making presence in human-populated more acceptable. As...
Abstract Context awareness in ambient assisted living programmes for the elderly is a cornerstone current scenario of noncustomized service robots distributed around world. This research proposes context‐awareness system human–robot scene interpretation based on seven primary contexts and American Occupational Therapy Association. The defined here an inference mechanism activity recognition supported hierarchical Bayesian networks. However, when information from sensors increases,...
Socially assistive robots have been used in the care of elderly or dependent people, particularly with patients suffering from neurological diseases, like autism and dementia. There are some proposals, but there no standardized mechanisms for assessing a particular robot's suitability specific therapy. This paper reports evaluation an acceptance test applied to people The proposed focuses on evaluating robot during therapy sessions. measures rejection by patient based observational data....
Using Context-Awareness information in human-robot shared environments enhances the characterization of interaction scenario, improving experience human collaboration with robot. Aspects such as environmental location and dialog have traditionally been used to infer c urrent situation, which can be helpful decision making process any However, acoustic signals available every scenario are commonly obviated, thus removing an important source information. This paper presents design, development...
Virtual desktops in cloud scenarios play a significant role higher education. Nowadays, the idea of moving laboratories to seems mandatory and it is necessary maintain students’ commitment this new scenario. This paper aims at two targets, customizing Desktop platform for delivering programming course Computer Science Bachelor Degree empirically apply technology acceptance model system usability scale set students that use it. Results obtained provide insights about direct effect between...
Dialysis patients have been maintaining a high rate of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. For this reason, it is to introduce necessary new technical advances in clinical practice. There relation between toxins retention inflammation, mortality morbidity. Medium cut-off (MCO) membranes are generation that allow the removal greater number medium-sized molecules compared with high-flux hemodialysis (HF-HD), but retaining albumin.

This paper presents the evolution of a robotic architecture intended for controlling autonomous social robots. The first instance this was originally designed according to behavior-based principles. building blocks were behaviors as finite state machine and organized in an ethological inspired way. However, need managing explicit symbolic knowledge human–robot interaction required integration planning capabilities into representation environment internal robot. A major contribution is...
