DACAR is een methodologie voor procesmapping die wordt gebruikt om bottlenecks en aandachtspunten voor te robotiseren handmatige processtappen in kaart te brengen. Het paper introduceert de oorsprong en gebruik van DACAR voor studenten en bedrijven.

Laboratory experiments are important pedagogical tools in engineering courses. Restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic made it very difficult or impossible for laboratory classes to take place, resulting on a fast transition to simulation as an approach to guarantee the effectiveness of teaching. …

As robotic applications become increasingly diverse, more domains of human lives are being involved, now also extending to educational, therapeutic, and social situations, with a trend to even more complex interactions. This diversity generates new research questions that need to be met with an adequate …

For almost 25 years, the goal of the RoboCup has been to build soccer robots capable of winning against the FIFA World Champion of 2050. To foster the participation of the next generation of roboticists, the RoboCupJunior competition takes place in parallel and provides a similar challenge of appropriate …

The potential for Artificial Intelligence is widely proclaimed. Yet, in everyday educational settings the use of this technology is limited. Particularly, if we consider smart systems that actually interact with learners in a knowledgeable way and as such support the learning process. It illustrates …

Supporting children's language development through social robots (discussant)

De agrarische sector kampt met veel problemen zoals de hoge kosten voor arbeid en de strenge regels voor gewasbeschermingsmiddelen. Een oplossing voor deze problemen zou robotica kunnen zijn. Robots kunnen arbeidsintensieve- en complexe werkzaamheden overnemen. Momenteel zijn er nog maar weinig robots …

Assistive Technology (AT) is any technology that supports people with functional difficulties to per form their daily activities with less difficulty and/or obstruction, thus contributing to a more fulfilling life. This refers to people of all ages and to all kinds of functional limitations, either permanent …

Older technologies, such as violins and computers, differ from newer technologies (Internet search engines, robots, chatbots, etc.). Older technologies are primarily tools for achieving our own stated goals, while new technologies are often used by third parties, whereby we ourselves are sometimes used …

The number of applications in which industrial robots share their working environment with people is increasing. Robots appropriate for such applications are equipped with safety systems according to ISO/TS 15066:2016 and are often referred to as collaborative robots (cobots). Due to the nature of human-robot …
