From artificial intelligence to artificial mind: A paradigm shift

December 27, 2024 by Mohammad Ghiasi

Considering the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in various fields, especially the closeness of its function to the human brain in terms of perception and the understanding of sensory and emotional concepts, it can be concluded that this concept is cognitively evolving toward an artificial mind (AM). This article introduces the concept of AM as a more accurate … [Read more...] about From artificial intelligence to artificial mind: A paradigm shift

Mitigating manipulation in generative AI

December 27, 2024 by Yanyi Wu

In an era where generative artificial intelligence (GAI) can compose symphonies and generate news articles with equal facility, the boundary between creation and manipulation becomes increasingly nebulous. This article discusses the fascinating and risky field of GAI and explores its potential to manipulate through deepfake videos and AI-generated text. Rather than presenting a … [Read more...] about Mitigating manipulation in generative AI

Understanding social conventions for socially aware robot navigation

June 13, 2023 by Kiran Jot Singh

Navigation is an essential skill for autonomous robots, and it becomes a cumbersome task in human-populated environments. Robots need to perform their tasks without disturbing the people around them. Robots navigating in a human-populated environment need to ensure people’s comfort and safety. For more about this article see link … [Read more...] about Understanding social conventions for socially aware robot navigation

Electrodermal activity: Fundamental principles, measurement, and application

October 14, 2022 by António Banganho

Electrodermal activity (EDA) is a low-cost and nonintrusive way of monitoring the emotional state of a subject. It is also a viable gateway to study the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which is responsible for the so-called fight-or-flight responses happening at the unconsciousness level (Boucsein, 2012). It is a frequently used modality in psychophysiology because of its … [Read more...] about Electrodermal activity: Fundamental principles, measurement, and application

Robot navigation in the social environment: Design challenges

June 28, 2022 by Kiran Jot Singh; Divneet Singh Kapoor; Balwinder Singh Sohi

As the number of robots is growing in our social environment, it is very important for them to understand and anticipate human behavior. One of the crucial skills for a robot is its navigation in the social environment. Several challenges are encountered when planning for the navigation of a robot in the presence of humans. It is very important for us to articulate these issues … [Read more...] about Robot navigation in the social environment: Design challenges

Characteristics of social robots: A framework for development

Social robots hold great promise for assisting both older adults with dementia and those in good health. Yet, little is known about how people want to interact with these robots. This article introduces a framework for the key features social robots should have, based on insights from a four-month study of how seniors engage with robots through conversation and interaction. We have broken these features down into principles of robot behavior, verbal communication, and nonverbal communication, while also considering factors that affect a person’s likelihood to adopt such technology. Our findings offer a starting point for refining social robots and & developing features that truly resonate with users.
