Traditionally robots were stand-alone systems. In recent years, however, they evolved by connecting to each other and external knowledge resources through the Internet of Things (IoT) and the cloud. These connected robots are thus becoming part of IoT. The infinite possibilities created by connected robots also lead to novel and unforeseen ways for...

... We focus on the Cozmo robot (Anki), which was available on the consumer market at the time of planning the study and has an advanced artificial intelligence back-end [15]. We chose Cozmo because of its ecological validity: It does not need to be programmed by the researcher or user and is, compared to other social robots, relatively affordable, which is not the case with other social robots often used to study CRI, for example NAO (Softbank Robotics) [16]. ...
Social robots have increasingly been entering children’s daily lives and their domestic environment. Whereas various studies have shown children’s enthusiasm towards social robots in, for example, an educational context, little is known about children’s acceptance—or rejection—of domestic social robots. This paper aimed at filling this research gap by developing a model of children’s intention to adopt a social robot at home, based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. Relying on data from a survey among 570 children aged eight to nine, we found that, before having ever interacted with the robot in real life, 82% of the children were willing to adopt the robot at home. Children’s adoption intention was mainly predicted by hedonic attitudes and social norms, as well as by their general attitude towards robots, which was linked to adoption both directly and indirectly through hedonic attitudes and social norms. Our findings suggest that entertainment-related and normative considerations drive children’s intention to adopt a domestic social robot.
... e advantage of using an IoT-aided robotic system is its increased operational workspace as compared to open surgery [56]. Numerous studies have been reported in the literature that have employed an IoT-aided robotic system in many applications including microsurgery, robotic assistiveminimally invasive surgery, and remote surgery [52,[57][58][59]. Ishak and Kit [60] have developed a robotic arm that can assist a doctor during surgery and take care of the patients. ...
Technology has become an integral part of everyday lives. Recent years have witnessed advancement in technology with a wide range of applications in healthcare. However, the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics are yet to see substantial growth in terms of its acceptability in healthcare applications. The current study has discussed the role of the aforesaid technology in transforming healthcare services. The study also presented various functionalities of the ideal IoT-aided robotic systems and their importance in healthcare applications. Furthermore, the study focused on the application of the IoT and robotics in providing healthcare services such as rehabilitation, assistive surgery, elderly care, and prosthetics. Recent developments, current status, limitations, and challenges in the aforesaid area have been presented in detail. The study also discusses the role and applications of the aforementioned technology in managing the current pandemic of COVID-19. A comprehensive knowledge has been provided on the prospect of the functionality, application, challenges, and future scope of the IoT-aided robotic system in healthcare services. This will help the future researcher to make an inclusive idea on the use of the said technology in improving the healthcare services in the future.
This book serves as a comprehensive guide to the potential of AI in the
livestock sector. Through a collection of insightful chapters authored by experts
and practitioners in the field, readers will explore diverse applications
spanning animal health monitoring, precision nutrition, smart farming
techniques, and beyond. Moreover, we delve into the ethical considerations,
regulatory frameworks, and socio-economic implications surrounding the
adoption of AI in livestock farming. As we navigate through these pages,
readers will gain a holistic understanding of how AI is reshaping the landscape
of the livestock sector.
Little is known about children's long-term acceptance of social robots; whether different types of users exist; and what reasons children have not to use a robot. Moreover, the literature is inconclusive about how the measurement of children's robot acceptance (i.e., self-report or observational) affects the findings. We relied on both self-report and observational data from a six-wave panel study among 321 children aged eight to nine, who were given a Cozmo robot to play with at home over the course of eight weeks. Children's robot acceptance decreased over time, with the strongest drop after two to four weeks. Children rarely rejected the robot (i.e., they did not stop using it already prior to actual adoption). They rather discontinued its use after initial adoption or alternated between using and not using the robot. The competition of other toys and lacking motivation to play with Cozmo emerged as strongest reasons for not using the robot. Self-report measures captured patterns of robot acceptance well but seemed suboptimal for precise assessments of robot use.
Although telemedicine is still practiced today, high-speed connections and improved organizational capability have enabled remote operation of medical equipment, known as telerobotic surgery. The technologies have a number of benefits, including enhanced performance and the ability to reach complex operations to geographically isolated places where trained surgeons are unavailable. This study proposed an early robotic solution for limited teleoperation tasks in a complex and unpredictable environment. So, the research is inspired by future human-robot collaboration. It focuses on limiting or preventing accidents between the robot and its environment. In order to enable access to robotic surgery equipment in a confined area, a fuzzy control method is used. We may infer that an adaptive robotic system capable of accomplishing limited tasks while also responding to external factors in an unpredictable and dynamic environment is potentially feasible.
