Introduction. Anthropomorphic robots may eventually occupy a special niche in medicine, performing physically demanding, as well emotionally monotonous work. As artificial intelligence is introduced, ARs will become more complex and their functions expand. Materials methods. For review on anthropomorphic robots, foreign Russian scientific publications were studied. It should be noted that the s...

Future humanoid robots will execute various complicated tasks based on communication with human users. These humanoid robots will be equipped with anthropomorphic robot hands much like the human hand. The robots will eventually supplant human labor in the execution of intricate and dangerous tasks in areas such as manufacturing, space exploration and the seabeds. Many multi-fingered robot hands...

In this paper we present a framework for grasp planning with a humanoid robot arm and a five-fingered hand. The aim is to provide the humanoid robot with the ability of grasping objects that appear in a kitchen environment. Our approach is based on the use of an object model database that contains the description of all the objects that can appear in the robot workspace. This database is comple...

In this work, we tackle the challenging problem of grasping novel objects using a high-DoF anthropomorphic hand-arm system. Combining fingertip tactile sensing, joint torques and proprioception, multimodal agent is trained in simulation to learn finger motions determine when lift an object. Binary contact information level-based simplify transferring learned model real robot. To reduce explorat...

There is sparse research directly investigating the effects of trust manipulations in human-human and human-robot interactions. Moreover, studies on versus have leveraged unusual or low vulnerability contexts to investigate such focused mostly robot performance. In present research, we seek remedy these limitations compare collaborations an augmented adapted version Trust Game. We used a mixed ...

This study investigates the effects of culture, robot appearance and task on human-robot interaction. We propose a model with culture (Chinese, Korean and German), robot appearance (anthropomorphic, zoomorphic and machinelike) and task (teaching, guide, entertainment and security guard) as factors, and analyze these factors’ effects on the robot’s likeability, and people’s active response to, e...

The article describes a description of fundamentally new design, mathematical model and experimental research flexible arm with an anthropomorphic gripper for industrial robot. advantage the proposed design robot in comparison known traditional technical solutions is achieved as close possible to functions human arm. This property significantly increases versatility when performing various tech...

BACKGROUND The use of humanoid robots to play a therapeutic role in helping individuals with social disorders such as autism is a newly emerging field, but remains unexplored in schizophrenia. As the ability for robots to convey emotion appear of fundamental importance for human-robot interactions, we aimed to evaluate how schizophrenia patients recognize positive and negative facial emotions d...
