SoCS Research Seminar Caregiver 4.0 – Experiences from Introducing a Robot into a Geriatric Long Term Care Environment Time: Monday, 11/7/16, 2pm Place: MC0020 Abstract In my talk, I would like to give an overview of our scientific work that we conduct within the STRANDS-project, where the School of Computer Science of the University…
Research reveals robot flaws are key to interacting with humans. Humans are less likely to form successful working relationships with interactive robots if they are programmed to be too perfect. Interactive or ‘companion’ robots are increasingly used to support caregivers for elderly people and for children with autism, Asperger syndrome or attachment disorder, yet by…
3D-printed robots from the University of Lincoln, UK, have taken their first overseas trip to attend Europe’s largest annual technology event in Dublin. Web Summit, which runs from 4th to 6th November 2014, has been called ‘the best technology conference on the planet’. MARC (Multi-Actuated Robotic Companion) and TAMMIE (Technologically Advanced Multi-Modal Interactive Entity), two…
Visitors to this year’s RAF Waddington International Air Show can meet a 3D-printed robot and listen to the sound of an insect that lived 165 million years ago. Created by Dr John Murray from the School of Computer Science at the University of Lincoln, UK, MARC – Multi-Actuated Robotic Companion – will be meeting the…
3D-printed robots from the School of Computer Science were one of the highlights of a recent national engineering event. Dr John Murray took MARC (Multi-Actuated Robotic Companion) to the Get up to Speed with Engineering and Manufacturing event in Sheffield on Tuesday, 8th April. MARC is one of two robots being used to help scientists…
A 3D-printed robot will be one of the star attractions at an annual event aimed at inspiring the next generation of manufacturers and engineers. MARC (Multi-Actuated Robotic Companion) will interact with visitors to the Get up to Speed with Engineering and Manufacturing event in Sheffield on Tuesday, 8th April. Created by Dr John Murray from…
A PhD student from the School of Computer Science was invited to present his research at one of the world’s most important conferences on human-robot interaction. Christian Dondrup was just one of two students chosen to give a presentation at the prestigious HRI Pioneers workshop at the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, held at Bielefeld University, Germany,…
