Human Robot Interaction




As humans have advanced over time and adapted to the fast-changing technological

landscape, we have entered an era where robots are no longer considered mere machines.

Instead, they have emerged as complex systems with advanced capabilities such as the ability

to sense, process and communicate. Human – Robot interaction is becoming an increasingly

critical field of study as engineer and researchers devise new ways to incorporate robots into

human life.

Human – Robot interaction refers to study of the interactions that take place between

humans and robots. It is an interdisciplinary field that involves researchers from cognitive

psychology, human factors and robotics. It aims to design robots that can communicate with

humans in a human-like, anticipate and proactively respond to users’ needs and emotions,

and function appropriately in various social and environmental settings.

One significant application of Human – Robot interaction is Assistive Robotics, where

robots assist individuals with disabilities, elderly individuals or sick people to cope with daily

life challenges more efficiently. Examples of these technologies are prosthetics and

exoskeletons, which helps people with motor disabilities to walk again or function with some

form of independence.

Another application of Human – Robot interaction is Social Robotics, where researchers aim

to design robots that can establish social and emotional bonds with humans. Examples of

such robots are humanoid robots that have human-like features and abilities such as

Otonaroid and Telenoid. In addition to these two types of robots, the field also involves study

and research on drones, self-driving cars, and other autonomous systems that are rapidly

emerging.

  What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?   The term IoT, or Internet of Things, refers to the collective network of connected devices and the technology that facilitates communication between devices and the cloud, as well as between the devices themselves. Thanks to the advent of inexpensive computer chips and high bandwidth telecommunication, we now have billions of devices  connected to the internet. This means everyday devices like toothbrushes, vacuums, cars, and machines can use sensors to collect data and respond intelligently to users.   The cost of integrating computing power into small objects has now dropped considerably. For example, you can add connectivity with Alexa voice services capabilities to MCUs  with less than 1MB embedded RAM, such as for light switches. A whole industry has sprung up with a focus on filling our homes, businesses, and offices with IoT devices. These smart objects can automatically transmit data to and...

  Title: Mastering Simulation and Modeling Techniques in Electronics Engineering Introduction: In the ever-evolving landscape of electronics engineering, simulation and modeling play pivotal roles in the design, analysis, and optimization of electronic circuits and systems. From simple resistor networks to complex integrated circuits, simulation tools empower engineers to visualize, validate, and refine their designs before committing to physical prototypes. In this blog post, we'll delve into the importance of simulation and modeling in electronics engineering and explore some essential techniques to master these tools effectively. Understanding Simulation and Modeling : Simulation refers to the process of emulating the behavior of a system over time, using mathematical models and algorithms to predict its performance under various conditions. On the other hand, modeling involves the creation of abstract representations of real-world phenomena, allowing engineers to analyze a...

  Blackberry-Out of Juice! Introduction: Blackberry was founded in 1984 as a manufacturer of modems and pagers only. However, in 2000, BlackBerry launched its first smartphone model called BlackBerry 957. It is the first smartphone model with Internet surfing and dynamic email sending functions. In the 2000s, BlackBerry was known as a standard and premium brand not only for smart business people, but also for those who value privacy and security. But in 2007, when tech giant Apple launched its first smartphone. BlackBerry has experienced good competition in the market. Then, as technology evolved and companies like Google launched mobile phones, a great deal of competition began. Given BlackBerry's exponential growth chart, no one should have been surprise...
