An On-Going Evaluation of Domestic Robots

چکیده
In this position paper we describe an on-going effort to provide an in-depth and cross-cultural evaluation of how elderly users perceive robotic systems for domestic cognitive support. Our work is grounded on two implemented smarthome prototypes, namely the RoboCare Smart Home developed in Italy, and the PEIS Home developed in Sweden. The former project has provided a testbed for an aposteriori evaluation of smart home technology with Italian user groups. The presence in Sweden of the PEIS Home, a system which shares numerous commonalities with the RoboCare Smart Home, gives us the opportunity to extend these results by (1) providing a cross-cultural perspective on the perception of smart home technology, and (2) lay the foundations for a live, Wizard of Oz based evaluation within

A Cross-Cultural Evaluation of Domestic Assistive Robots
This paper presents the first steps in a series of on-going user evaluations of intelligent environments for supporting elderly users at home. We specifically focus on a comparison of elderly perceptions of social assistive domestic robots between Italian and Swedish user groups. The evaluation was carried out in Rome, Italy and Örebro, Sweden, including surrounding towns. The results, obtained...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Method for Improving the Reliability of Safetycritical Robots against Soft Errors
Nowadays, Robots account for most part of our lives in such a way that it is impossible for usto do many of affairs without them. Increasingly, the application of robots is developing fastand their functions become more sensitive and complex. One of the important requirements ofRobot use is a reliable software operation. For enhancement of reliability, it is a necessity todesign the fault toler...
متن کاملA New Intelligent Approach to Patient-cooperative Control of Rehabilitation Robots
This paper presents a new intelligent method to control rehabilitation robots by mainly considering reactions of patient instead of doing a repetitive preprogrammed movement. It generates a general reference trajectory based on different reactions of patient during therapy. Three main reactions has been identified and included in reference trajectory: small variations, force shocks in a single ...
متن کاملKinematics and Dynamics of two Cooperating Robots in Spatial Moving of an Object
The kinematics and dynamics of two industrial cooperating robots are presented in this paper. The NOC (natural orthogonal complement) method is used to derive the dynamical equations for the motion of two cooperating robots. The joint torques of the two robots are determined based on the optimization techniques in order to obtain unique solution for joint torques. To this end, minimizing the cr...
