Abstract

This paper presents a overview of the inaugural Amazon Picking Challenge along with a summary of a survey conducted among the 26 participating teams. The challenge goal was to design an autonomous robot to pick items from a warehouse shelf. This task is currently performed by human workers, and there is hope that robots can someday help increase efficiency and throughput while lowering cost. We report on a 28-question survey posed to the teams to learn about each team's background, mechanism design, perception apparatus, planning and control approach. We identify trends in this data, correlate it with each team's success in the competition, and discuss observations and lessons learned based on survey results and the authors' personal experiences during the challenge.

4. A Review on the Use of Robots in Education and Young Children

Author

Toh, Lai Poh Emily, Causo, Albert, Tzuo, Pei-Wen, Chen, I-Ming, and Yeo, Song Huat

Abstract

A systematic review was carried out to examine the use of robots in early childhood and lower level education. The paper synthesizes the findings of research studies carried out in the last ten years and looks at the influence of robots on children and education. Four major factors are examined--the type of studies conducted, the influence of robots on children's behaviour and development, the perception of stakeholders (parents, children and educators) on educational robots, and finally, the reaction of children on robot design or appearance. This review presents the approach taken by researchers in validating their use of robots including non-experimental (mixed-method, anecdotal, cross-sectional, longitudinal, correlational, and case studies) and quasi-experimental (pre- and post-test). The paper also shows that robot's influence on children's skills development could be grouped into four major categories: cognitive, conceptual, language and social (collaborative) skills. Mixed results are shown when it comes to parents' perception of the use of robots in their children's education while design was shown to influence children's perception of the robot's character or capabilities. A total of 27 out of 369 articles were reviewed based on several criteria.

Abstract

To be able to automate some of the rehabilitation processes, it is necessary to be able to measure movement of stroke patients. This paper describes a complete system to measure the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) motions of healthy subjects and stroke patients. The system is composed of a customised table top, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU-based) to measure arm posture, and an Optical Linear Encoder (OLE)-based sensor to measure hand motion. The integrated system is designed to measure five ADL motions and save the data for further processing. The five ADLs measured are picking up a cup, zipping and unzipping a vest, picking up a phone, opening and closing a window, and wiping face with a towel. The system has been used to measure ADL motion data of fifteen healthy subjects and fifteen stroke patients. Published version
