As robots become increasingly integrated into daily life, the demand for natural and effective social interactions between humans and robots continues to rise. However, existing research on human-robot interaction predominantly focuses on humanoidrobots, with limited attention given to the emotional expression capabilities of non-humanoidrobots. this study proposes a motion-based emotional expression framework tailored to non-humanoidrobots, particularly wheeled robots. By integrating motion behaviors with emotional cues, such as kaomoji, the framework explores the potential for these robots to express emotions. Experimental results indicate that motor behaviors alone can convey emotions with an average accuracy rate of 36.81% across seven distinct classes. Additionally, Kaomoji are limited in their ability to convey complex or ambiguous emotions, with a accuracy rate of only 40%. However, combining motor behaviors with kaomoji significantly enhances boththe accuracy and diversity of emotional expression, achieving an average accuracy rate of 80%. this combination not only improves accuracy but also adds variety to emotional expressions, providing an effective method for conveying emotions without relying on facial or vocal expressions. the proposed framework addresses a critical gap in the research on emotional expression in non-humanoidrobots, providing a fresh perspective on emotional communication technologies.

As humanoid service robots are increasingly becoming part of our everyday life, their acceptance in society requires a general understanding of those robots. Transparency can be a means to establish this. Complementary to the general ieee Standard 7001-2021, a new transparency classifcation for humanoid service robots is proposed in this work as a baseline for the goal-oriented defnition of concrete transparency mechanisms. Here, Content Transparency and Interaction Transparency are introduced, separating transparency of service content information from efective communication and robot usage. Interaction Transparency is further subdivided to include interaction aspects unique to humanoidrobots. Further, it integrates Traceability and Privacy. Overall, it covers a larger range of interaction aspects than common transparency models. the proposed transparency classifcation also supports the systematic investigation of individual transparency mechanism's infuence on the interaction. For this, novel classifcation-specifc scales should be developed to assess the perception of, e.g., Interaction Transparency.

High force/torque (F/T) sensor calibration accuracy is crucial to achieving successful force estimation/control tasks withhumanoidrobots. State-of-the-art affine calibration models do not always approximate correctly the physical phenomenon of the sensor/transducer, resulting in inaccurate F/T measurements for specific applications such as thrust estimation of a jet-powered humanoid robot. this paper proposes and validates nonlinear polynomial models for F/T calibration, increasing the number of model coefficients to minimize the estimation residuals. the analysis of several models, based on the data collected from experiments withthe iCub3 robot, shows a significant improvement in minimizing the force/torque estimation error when using higher-degree polynomials. In particular, when using a 4th-degree polynomial model, the Root Mean Square error (RMSE) decreased to 2.28N from the 4.58N obtained with an affine model, and the absolute error in the forces remained under 6N while it was reaching up to 16N withthe affine model.

Most available schemes used for humanoid walking rely on the separation into a planning phase, typically offline, and a Model Predictive Controller (MPC). Moreover, in order for the MPC to work in real time, simplifying assumptions are made both on the template model and on the constraints so that the underlying optimization problem is a Quadratic Programming (QP). the planner is unaware of the underlying humanoid dynamics and of any disturbance acting on the robot. We present an on-line Feasibility-Aware Plan Adaptation (FAPA) module which can locally adapt footsteps (positions, timings and orientation) in such a way that it guarantees feasibility of the subsequent Intrinsically Stable MPC (IS-MPC) stage. We present two versions of the proposed scheme: one with a fixed regions assignment for placing the footstep and another one where the regions are selected automatically through mixed-integer programming. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the FAPA scheme.

Sobotify is a software framework, which aims at simplifying the process of using robots in the feld of social robotics. this paper delineates the design and usage of the framework. With Sobotify, even non-technical people should be enabled to use robots for their specifc purposes, such as teachers in a classroom, therapists in a physiological or psychological therapy or childcare workers in kindergarten. During the development process of Sobotify, feedback from teachers at a vocational school have been taken into account in order to adjust the tools to their needs. the framework is designed to work with diferent robots including bothhumanoid (NAO and Pepper) and non-humanoidrobots such as toy robots (Cozmo) with advanced abilities as well as very simple toy robots (MyKeepon). the framework was tested by two research works which proved that Sobotify is applicable in diferent setups. Further development is already planned for the next months, e.g. integration of additional robots and extension of tools.

Technological evolution in the field of robotics is emerging with major breakthroughs in recent years. this was especially fostered by revolutionary new software applications leading to humanoidrobots. humanoids are being envisioned for manufacturing applications to form human-robot teams. But their implication in the manufacturing practices especially for industrial safety standards and lean manufacturing practices have been minimally addressed. humanoids will also be competing with conventional robotic arms and effective methods to assess their return on investment are needed. To study the next generation of industrial automation, we used the case context of Tesla's humanoid robot. the company has recently unveiled its project on an intelligent humanoid robot named 'Optimus' to achieve an increased level of manufacturing automation. this article proposes a framework to integrate humanoids for manufacturing automation and also presents the significance of safety standards of human-robot collaboration. A case of lean assembly cell for the manufacturing of an open-source medical ventilator was used for human-humanoid automation. Simulation results indicate that humanoids can increase the level of manufacturing automation. Managerial and research implications are presented.

To ensure that robots can effectively serve all individuals in public facilities, it is essential to consider accessibility and inclusivity. In particular, tactile interaction might play a significant role in engaging with visually impaired individuals. this study explored the potential of hands-on interaction between visually impaired individuals and a table-top humanoid robot. Five participants with visual impairments were recruited and asked to interact withthe robot. the study consisted of two conditions: one with gestures from the robot and one without gestures. the results of this study indicated that touching a moving table-top humanoid robot improves their impressions of it and the information accessibility regarding directional guidance.
