The Impact of Social Robot Interaction on Engagement and Narrative Complexity in Primary School Children
Social robots are increasingly being integrated into educational settings as they can enhance engagement and learning, particularly in young learners. This study explored the impact of a social robot (NAO) during a storytelling activity with primary school children, focusing on engagement, narrative skills, and introspective language, compared to the interaction with a standard technological device such as a tablet). It was hypothesized that, in …
A Framework for the Human-Centered Design of Service Processes Enabled by Medical Devices: A Case Study of Wearable Devices for Parkinson’s Disease
The successful introduction of medical devices (MDs) in real-world settings hinges on designing service processes that cater to stakeholders' needs. While human-centered design (HCD) approaches have been widely applied to service process innovation, the literature lacks a methodology that leverages MDs' key features to design service processes that meet stakeholders' needs. This study aims to fill this gap by developing a framework for the HCD of…
Knowledge Engineering Framework for IoT Robotics Applied to Smart Healthcare and Emotional Well-Being
User Profiling to Enhance Clinical Assessment and Human–Robot Interaction: A Feasibility Study
Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) are designed to support us in our daily life as a companion, and assistance but also to support the caregivers’ work. SARs should show personalized and human-like behavior to improve their acceptance and, consequently, their use. Additionally, they should be trustworthy by caregivers and professionals to be used as support for their work (e.g. objective assessment, decision support tools). In this context the aim …

Industrial exoskeletons from bench to field: Human-machine interface and user experience in occupational settings and tasks
Objective: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are considered nowadays the most serious issue in the Occupational Health and Safety field and industrial exoskeletons appear to be a new approach to addressing this medical burden. A systematic review has been carried out to analyze the real-life data of the application of exoskeletons in work settings considering the subjective responses of workers. Methods: The review was registered on…
Dancing With Parkinson's Disease: The SI-Robotics Study Protocol
Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most frequent causes of disability among older people, characterized by motor disorders, rigidity, and balance problems. Recently, dance has started to be considered an effective exercise for people with PD. In particular, Irish dancing, along with tango and different forms of modern dance, may be a valid strategy to motivate people with PD to perform physical activity. The present protocol aim…
Enabling Global Robot Navigation Based on a Cloud Robotics Approach
In the future, social robots will permeate our daily life. An autonomous robot that has to move among different buildings needs to manage huge amount of data, as a consequence it is clear that the configuration of the navigation system becomes hard to manage. This paper presents a system, based on a cloud robotics paradigm, conceived to allow autonomous robots to navigate in indoor environment, which are not known a priori. The environment is div…
A Cloud Robotics Solution to Improve Social Assistive Robots for Active and Healthy Aging
Technological innovation in robotics and ICT represents an effective solution to tackle the challenge of providing social sustainable care services for the ageing population. The recent introduction of cloud technologies is opening new opportunities for the provisioning of advanced robotic services based on the cooperation of a number of connected robots, smart environments and devices improved by the huge cloud computational and storage capabili…
