This work presents a case study on fieldwork in a group home for the elderly with dementia
using a teleoperated robot called Telenoid. We compared Telenoid-mediated and face-to …

This paper investigates the role of interaction and communication kinesics in human–robot
interaction. This study is part of a novel research project on sign language (SL) tutoring …

We explore the potential of teleoperated androids, which are embodied telecommunication
media with humanlike appearances. By conducting a pilot study, we investigated how …

Robotic assistive technology for frail older adults has drawn attention, along with raising
ethical concerns. The ethical implications of a robot's usage have been characterized in the …

Intergenerational interactions between children and older adults are gaining broader
recognition because of their mutual benefits. However, such interactions face practical …

We present a non-parametric approach to prediction of the n-back n∈{1, 2} task as a proxy
measure of mental workload using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) data. In particular, we …

Robot-mediated interaction may be one of the best approaches to overcome the
implementation-related limitations of face-to-face interaction between children and older …

Work support for elderly people is gaining importance in an aging society. To this end,
telepresence robots are expected to provide a promising solution as it could enable people …

Communication support for older adults has become a growing need; as well, assistive
technologies such as robotic media are expected to facilitate social interactions in both …

Using anthropological theory, this paper examines human–android interactions (HAI) as an
emerging aspect of android science. These interactions are described in terms of adaptive …
