Robot acceptance model for care (RAM-care) : A principled approach to the intention to use care robots
2020
Robots are emerging in welfare services, and organizations require information on whether novel technologies are approved among staff. On the basis of technology acceptance theories, this study proposes a model that adds a principled approach to the intention to use care robots. Data of 544 professionals with care robot experience were collected. The use intention was predicted by usefulness, enjoyment, social influence, and attitude. Respondents who found robots useful and accepted by their colleagues were more likely to view robot use as consistent with their personal values. The care robot acceptance model supports consideration of the profession-specific context in robotization. peerRev…
Social Robots and Human Touch in Care : The Perceived Usefulness of Robot Assistance Among Healthcare Professionals
2019
Touching in care work is inevitable, particularly in cases where clients depend on nurses for many activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, lifting and assisting. When new technologies are involved in nurse–client relationships, the significance of human touch needs special attention. Stressing the importance of practitioners’ opinions on the usage of robots in care environments, we analyze care workers’ attitudes toward robot assistance in the care of older people and reflect on their ideas of the embodied relationship that caregivers and care receivers have with technology. To examine nurses’ attitudes toward care robots, we use survey data on professional care workers (n = …
Cyber security of vehicle CAN bus
2019
There are currently many research projects underway concerning the intelligent transport system (ITS), with the intent to develop a variety of communication solutions between vehicles, roadside stations and services. In the near future, the roll-out of 5G networks will improve short-range vehicle-to-vehicle traffic and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. More extensive services can be introduced due to almost non-delayed response time. Cyber security is central for the usability of the services and, most importantly, for car safety. The Controller Area Network (CAN) is an automation bus that was originally designed for real-time data transfer of distributed control systems to cars. La…
Robotization of Mobile Communication
2020
The aim of this chapter is to systematize the discussion regarding robotization of mobile communication. The chapter begins by clarifying the fundamental role of both robot hardware and robot software in this process. This is followed by a critical overview of existing research, which is classified into three categories. First, robotization is understood as the hybridization of the human body with existing ordinary mobile devices. Second, the incorporation of new robotic software, such as algorithms, artificial intelligence, and virtual assistants, into mobile devices is seen to robotize them from inside. Third, the convergence of smart communication devices, typically as user interfaces wi…
The effectiveness of robot-aided upper limb therapy in stroke rehabilitation : a systematic review of randomized controlled studies
2010
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…
