AI to support customised interactive social robot applications
This project aims to investigate the opportunities of using AI-enabled robot technology, such as humanoid robots, to enhance the employability of people with intellectual disability (ID). We propose that access and retention in employment can be enhanced with learning technologies that can support people to acquire, practice, and maintain job-related skills while creating socially inclusive workplaces. Humanoid robots are being marketed for supporting people with practical tasks in homes and workplaces . As a type of social robot, they have …

Advancing humanoid robots: exploring materials and design for enhanced aesthetics and emotional connection
Humanoid robots are increasingly being developed for a variety of applications including healthcare, customer service, and industrial automation. However, their effectiveness depends not only on their artificial intelligence, technical capabilities, functionality and efficiency but also on the design and application of exterior materials for enhanced interaction with humans. This research aims to investigate how the application of colour, materials, and form (CMF) and other concepts of wearable fashion and innovative design can improve the aesthetics, perception, emotional connection and overall …
