Digital twins for human-assistive robot teams in ambient assisted living (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chen, J., Clos, J., Price, D., & Caleb-Solly, P. (2023). Digital twins for human-assistive robot teams in ambient assisted living. In TAS '23: Proceedings of the First International Symposium on Trustworthy Autonomous Systems. https://doi.org/10.1145/3597512.3597520

Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical systems that simulate real-world scenarios to optimize system performance, reduce physical losses, and ensure user safety. Although digital twins have been widely adopted in industrial settings, there is... Read More about Digital twins for human-assistive robot teams in ambient assisted living.

Empowering future care workforces: scoping human capabilities to leverage assistive robotics (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
O'Donovan, C., Caleb-Solly, P., Kumar, P., Russell, S., Sumpter, L., & Williams, R. (2023, July). Empowering future care workforces: scoping human capabilities to leverage assistive robotics. Presented at First International Symposium on Trustworthy Autonomous Systems, Edinburgh, UK

How and what health and care professionals do will be changed by the use of robotics technologies in their workplaces. This paper reports provisional results of a 12-month scoping project in which we explained to people working in care sectors what e...
