Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in machine learning, deep learning techniques, and sensors are greatly impacting how humans and computers and robots interact. For instance, surface electromyography sensors combined with deep-learning-based algorithms are currently being used to operate robotic prosthetic limbs or 3D pose estimation methods to control an avatar in Virtual Reality. Thus, the combination of sensors and machine learning techniques is enabling a range of novel and interesting applications.

This Special Issue is intended to cover cutting-edge applications and research on new sensors, machine learning methods or their combination to perform human–computer and human–robot interaction. We strongly encourage the submission of papers focusing on the keywords below, but works on related topics will also be considered.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The paper addresses the problem of using machine learning in practical robot applications, like dynamic path planning with obstacle avoidance, so as to achieve the performance level of machine learning model scorers in terms of speed and reliability, and the safety and accuracy level of possibly slower, exact algorithmic solutions to the same problems. To this end, the existing simplex architecture for safety assurance in critical systems is extended by an adaptation mechanism, in which one of the redundant controllers (called a high-performance controller) is represented by a trained machine learning model. This model is retrained using field data to reduce its failure rate and redeployed continuously. The proposed adaptive simplex architecture (ASA) is evaluated on the basis of a robot path planning application with dynamic obstacle avoidance in the context of two human-robot collaboration scenarios in manufacturing. The evaluation results indicate that ASA enables a response by the robot in real time when it encounters an obstacle. The solution predicted by the model is economic in terms of path length and smoother than analogous algorithmic solutions. ASA ensures safety by providing an acceptance test, which checks whether the predicted path crosses the obstacle; in which case a suboptimal, yet safe, solution is used. Full article

Dementia is a syndrome that is characterised by the decline of different cognitive abilities. A high rate of deaths and high cost for detection, treatments, and patients care count amongst its consequences. Although there is no cure for dementia, a timely diagnosis helps in obtaining necessary support, appropriate medication, and maintenance, as far as possible, of engagement in intellectual, social, and physical activities. The early detection of Alzheimer Disease (AD) is considered to be of high importance for improving the quality of life of patients and their families. In particular, Virtual Reality (VR) is an expanding tool that can be used in order to assess cognitive abilities while navigating through a Virtual Environment (VE). The paper summarises common AD screening and diagnosis techniques focusing on the latest approaches that are based on Virtual Environments, behaviour analysis, and emotions recognition, aiming to provide more reliable and non-invasive diagnostics at home or in a clinical environment. Furthermore, different AD diagnosis evaluation methods and metrics are presented and discussed together with an overview of the different datasets. Full article
