Acceptability Study of A3-K3 Robotic Architecture for a Neurorobotics Painting
ORIGINAL RESEARCH published: 10 January 2019 doi: 10.3389/fnbot.2018.00081 Acceptability Study of A3-K3 Robotic Architecture for a Neurorobotics Painting Salvatore Tramonte 1*, Rosario Sorbello 1*, Christopher Guger 2 and Antonio Chella 1,3 1 RoboticsLab, Department of Industrial and Digital Innovation (DIID), Universitá di Palermo, Palermo, Italy, 2 G.tec Medical Engineering GmbH, Schiedlberg, Austria, 3 ICAR-CNR, Palermo, Italy In this paper, authors present a novel architecture for controlling an industrial robot via Brain Computer Interface. The robot used is a Series 2000 KR 210-2. The robotic arm was fitted with DI drawing devices that clamp, hold and manipulate various artistic media like brushes, pencils, pens. User selected a high-level task, for instance a shape or movement, using a human machine interface and the translation in robot movement was entirely demanded to the Robot Control Architecture defining a plan to accomplish user’s task. The architecture was composed by a Human Machine Interface based on P300 Brain Computer Interface and a robotic architecture composed by a deliberative layer and a reactive layer to translate user’s high-level command in a stream of movement for robots joints. To create a real-case scenario, the architecture was Edited by: Ganesh R.

Ethical and Social Aspects of Neurorobotics
Science and Engineering Ethics https://doi.org/10.1007/s11948-020-00248-8 ORIGINAL RESEARCH/SCHOLARSHIP Ethical and Social Aspects of Neurorobotics Christine Aicardi2 · Simisola Akintoye3 · B. Tyr Fothergill1 · Manuel Guerrero4,5 · Gudrun Klinker6 · William Knight1 · Lars Klüver7 · Yannick Morel8 · Fabrice O. Morin6 · Bernd Carsten Stahl1 · Inga Ulnicane1 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract The interdisciplinary feld of neurorobotics looks to neuroscience to overcome the limitations of modern robotics technology, to robotics to advance our understand- ing of the neural system’s inner workings, and to information technology to develop tools that support those complementary endeavours. The development of these tech- nologies is still at an early stage, which makes them an ideal candidate for proac- tive and anticipatory ethical refection. This article explains the current state of neu- rorobotics development within the Human Brain Project, originating from a close collaboration between the scientifc and technical experts who drive neurorobotics innovation, and the humanities and social sciences scholars who provide contextu- alising and refective capabilities. This article discusses some of the ethical issues which can reasonably be expected. On this basis, the article explores possible gaps identifed within this collaborative, ethical refection that calls for attention to ensure that the development of neurorobotics is ethically sound and socially acceptable and desirable.

The Dealership of Tomorrow 2.0: America’S Car Dealers Prepare for Change
The Dealership of Tomorrow 2.0: America’s Car Dealers Prepare for Change February 2020 An independent study by Glenn Mercer Prepared for the National Automobile Dealers Association The Dealership of Tomorrow 2.0 America’s Car Dealers Prepare for Change by Glenn Mercer Introduction This report is a sequel to the original Dealership of Tomorrow: 2025 (DOT) report, issued by NADA in January 2017. The original report was commissioned by NADA in order to provide its dealer members (the franchised new-car dealers of America) perspectives on the changing automotive retailing environment. The 2017 report was intended to offer “thought starters” to assist dealers in engaging in strategic planning, looking ahead to roughly 2025.1 In early 2019 NADA determined it was time to update the report, as the environment was continuing to shift. The present document is that update: It represents the findings of new work conducted between May and December of 2019. As about two and a half years have passed since the original DOT, focused on 2025, was issued, this update looks somewhat further out, to the late 2020s. Disclaimers As before, we need to make a few things clear at the outset: 1. In every case we have tried to link our forecast to specific implications for dealers. There is much to be said about the impact of things like electric vehicles and connected cars on society, congestion, the economy, etc. But these impacts lie far beyond the scope of this report, which in its focus on dealerships is already significant in size. Readers are encouraged to turn to academic, consulting, governmental and NGO reports for discussion of these broader issues. -

The aim of this review is to autonomous systems [2][3]. Specifically, one key area of analyze this innovative path through the description of some of the development has been that of cognitive robots for human-robot latest neuroprosthetics and human-robot interaction applications, in particular the Brain Computer Interface linked to haptic interaction and assistive robotics. This concerns the design of systems, interactive robotics and autonomous systems. These robot companions for the elderly, social robots for children with issues will be addressed by analyzing developmental robotics and disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, and robot examples of neurorobotics research. -
