First impressions of a humanoid social robot with natural language capabilities
Our analyses distil four interrelated themes that threaded throughout participant responses. We separate them here for analytic clarity, while at times highlighting the porous boundaries and overlaps between them. Themes include participants’…

Stable Gaussian process tracking control of antagonistic variable stiffness actuators
Gaussian process modeling
Consider a training data set \(\mathcal {D} = \{X,\varvec{y}\}\) generated by \(y_i = f(\varvec{x}_i) + \eta\) with \(f: \mathbb {R}^{n} \rightarrow \mathbb {R}\), where X \(:=\) \([\varvec{x}_1\), \(\varvec{x}_2\),

Fastest-ever robot 3D scanner sees transparent objects in 1.5 seconds
Robots still struggle with materials that the human eye can easily detect, such as glass, shiny metal, or jet-black surfaces.
These materials don’t reflect light in predictable ways, making them hard to read with standard 3D sensors. For…
