Contact-dependent Signaling

Contact-dependent Signaling

Contact-dependent signaling, as the name suggests, requires that communicating cells be in direct contact with each other. This is achieved either through receptor-ligand interactions or by specialized cytoplasmic channels that allow the flow of small molecules between cells. In animal cells, channels called gap junctions facilitate contact-dependent signaling in certain tissues, whereas, plasmodesmata perform a similar function in plants.

In animal cells, gap junctions are formed...

Stereotype Content Model

Stereotype Content Model

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Background:

Waymarking traditionally involves humans posting signs for navigation.
Robots require efficient methods for environmental awareness and navigation assistance.

Purpose of the Study:

To define and develop robot waymarking as a skill for environmental signaling.
To create an automated system for robots to signal environments using human-robot interaction and RFID.

Main Methods:

Utilizing human-robot interaction (HRI) for robots to acquire environmental information.
Employing radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for data exchange and signal creation/updating.
Implementing a social robot in a real indoor environment for testing.

Main Results:

Demonstrated a robot's ability to acquire, process, and signal environmental data.
Successfully created, updated, and improved navigation data using RFID signals.
Validated the system's functionality through integration with a social robot.

Conclusions:

Robot waymarking is feasible and enhances robot localization and navigation.
HRI is crucial for enriching environmental information exchange in robot waymarking.
The developed system offers a novel approach to automated environment signaling for multi-robot systems.
