Underwater Multirobot Cooperative Intervention MAC Protocol
2020
This work introduces a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol designed to allow a group of underwater robots that share a wireless communication channel to effectively communicate with each other. The goal of the Underwater Multirobot Cooperative Intervention MAC (UMCI-MAC) protocol presented in this work is to minimize the end to end delay and the jitter. The access to the medium in UMCI-MAC follows a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) strategy which is arbitrated by a master, which also has the capability to prioritize the transmission of some nodes over the rest of the network. Two experiments have been carried out with a team of four Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) in order to comp…
Emergence of technostress among employees working with physical robots
2023
Despite the growing body of literature on technostress, there is limited knowledge about the emergence of technostress among people working with physical robots. In this paper, we aim to address this research gap by exploring how technostress emerges among employees working with physical robots. The study was based on qualitative online questionnaire responses from 197 present or previous users of robots at work. Based on our data, we identified several robot-related environmental conditions that contributed to perceived work-related stress. Our findings reveal that the emergence of technostress among employees working with physical robots has distinct characteristics and that the technostr…
Future Directions in Workplace Communication
2019
Various utopias and dystopias regarding the significance of human communication in the future workplace have been presented. Artificial intelligence (AI) will undoubtedly be one of the most remarkable influences on future work, and employees must prepare themselves to have social robots as coworkers. Partly as a result of the increased use of AI, various forms of self-employment will gain ground. Lifelong occupations and professions will be less common, and the value of one’s ever-evolving skills and knowledge, applicable to diverse work contexts, will consequently receive more emphasis. Knowledge work will increasingly take place in digital communication environments, and telework and othe…

Robottiavusteisen terapian vaikuttavuus yläraajakuntoutuksessa AVH-potilailla – järjestelmällinen kirjallisuuskatsaus Kati Nykänen Fysioterapian pro gradu-tutkielma Jyväskylän yliopisto, Liikunta- ja terveystieteiden tiedekunta, terveystieteiden laitos Kevät 2010 73 sivua, 8 liitettä Ohjaajat: Tuulikki Sjögren, Ari Heinonen. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää järjestelmällisen kirjallisuuskatsauksen perusteella, yläraajoihin kohdistuneen robottiavusteisen terapian vaikuttavuuden näytönaste aivoverenkiertohäiriön (AVH) saaneilla kuntoutujilla. Kirjallisuushaku suoritettiin CINAHL (1982–8/2008), MEDLINE (1950–8/2008) ja EMBASE (-10/2008) sähköisistä tietokannoista seuraavilla hakus…

Biodegradable Metal-Organic Framework-Based Microrobots (MOFBOTs).
2020
Microrobots and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been identified as promising carriers for drug delivery applications. While clinical applications of microrobots are limited by their low drug loading efficiencies and the poor degradability of the materials used for their fabrication, MOFs lack motility and targeted drug delivery capabilities. The combination of these two fields marks the beginning of a new era; MOF‐based small‐scale robots (MOFBOTs) for biomedical applications. Yet, biodegradability is a major hurdle in the field of micro‐ and nanoswimmers including small‐scale robots. Here, a highly integrated MOFBOT that is able to realize magnetic locomotion, drug delivery, and selec…
