The role of robots in society keeps expanding and diversifying, bringing with it a host of issues surrounding the relationship between robots and humans. This introduction to human–robot interaction (HRI) by leading researchers in this developing field is the first to provide a broad overview of the multidisciplinary topics central to modern HRI research. Written for students and researchers from robotics, artificial intelligence, psychology, sociology, and design, it presents the basics of how robots work, how to design them, and how to evaluate their performance. Self-contained chapters discuss a wide range of topics, including speech and language, nonverbal communication, and processing emotions, plus an array of applications and the ethical issues surrounding them. This revised and expanded second edition includes a new chapter on how people perceive robots, coverage of recent developments in robotic hardware, software, and artificial intelligence, and exercises for readers to test their knowledge.
• The book provides suitable foundations for instructors and students who are engaging with educational robotics in any discipline, such as such as education, computer science, engineering, philosophy, and psychology. • The authors integrate relevant theories of learning and developmental psychology, such as behaviourism, constructivism, and cognitivism, before discussing the roles that robots play in learning. • Each chapter includes real-world illustrative examples, open-ended reflective questions, and lists of further reading and other resources.

Cine, bioética y profesionalismo hace parte de la serie “El cine en la enseñanza de la bioética” y es producto del semillero de investigación en Bioética y Bioderecho de la Escuela de Medicina y Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad del Rosario, que pertenece al grupo de investigación en Educación Médica y en Ciencias de la Salud. El propósito de esta serie es brindar elementos a los profesionales de la salud, desde la bioética para la toma de decisiones en los distintos ámbitos del ejercicio profesional en atención en salud, teniendo como hilo conductor el cine como herramienta de aprendizaje. Cada capítulo es el resultado de la investigación conjunta de estudiantes y profesores investigadores. Este primer libro está compuesto por siete capítulos en los cuales, a través del análisis de aspectos relevantes de la relación médico paciente, se reflexiona sobre el concepto de profesionalismo y los elementos que lo constituyen.
Los médicos Internistas son especialistas que aplican los conocimientos científicos y la experiencia clínica para el diagnóstico, el tratamiento y el cuidado de los adultos en todo el aspecto, desde la salud a la enfermedad compleja. Están especialmente bien entrenados en el diagnóstico de problemas médicos desconcertantes, en el cuidado continuo de las enfermedades crónicas, y en el cuidado de pacientes con más de una enfermedad. Para diagnosticar, los internistas deben hacer buenas historias clínicas, es decir, un buen interrogatorio y un buen examen físico.
This book offers the first comprehensive yet critical overview of methods used to evaluate interaction between humans and social robots. It reviews commonly used evaluation methods, and shows that they are not always suitable for this purpose. Using representative case studies, the book identifies good and bad practices for evaluating human-robot interactions and proposes new standardized processes as well as recommendations, carefully developed on the basis of intensive discussions between specialists in various HRI-related disciplines, e.g. psychology, ethology, ergonomics, sociology, ethnography, robotics, and computer science. The book is the result of a close, long-standing collaboratio...
Dear Readers, If you are engaged in the treatment of patients with MS (pwMS), this e-book’s aim is to offer novel insights to improve on an understanding of one of the major problems of pwMS: fatigue. Although there is increasing research into fatigue and its impact on MS, this collection of ten articles supports a better understanding of fatigue in MS patients. It explores pathophysiological concepts, provoking mechanisms, objective measurements, personality interactions, pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions and summarizes clinical management. It is written by neurologists, psychologists, scientists and therapists and addresses this group of people, who deal with pwMS in private, clinical, rehabilitation or scientific settings. Its aim is to communicate high-quality information, knowledge and experience on MS to healthcare professionals, while providing global support for the international MS community.
This book is for therapists involved in exercise therapy for the prevention and treatment of disease. It covers exercise assessment, current prescription guidelines, precautions, exercise design and clinical case studies. The book also includes exercises to increase strength, power, local muscle endurance, range of movement and aerobic capacity and will be relevant to all areas of therapy practice. In addition to the general guidelines, considerations for exercise groups and exercise at home as well as exercise in special patient populations are addressed. This allows therapists who are expert in one area to become familiar with exercise prescription in another. The book underpins therapeutic exercise in general and also addresses specific considerations for particular clinical situations within current guidelines and practical considerations. - Underpinning exercise physiology - Physical principles of exercise design - Guidelines for exercise training - Clinical exercise prescription - Limitations to exercise in common conditions - Example case studies
