Abstract
Wearable robots can maintain physical contact with the user and interact with them to assist in daily life. However, since most wearable robots operate at a single point on the user's body, the user must be constantly aware of their presence. This imposes a burden on the user, both physically and mentally, and prevents them from wearing the robot daily. One solution to this problem is for the robot to move around the user's body. When the user does not interact with the robot, it can move to an unobtrusive position and attract less attention from the user. This research aims to develop a wearable robot that reduces the burden by developing an arm movement mechanism for wearable robots and a self-localization method for autonomous movement and helps the user's daily life by providing supportive interactions.
期刊介绍：
ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction (THRI) is a prestigious Gold Open Access journal that aspires to lead the field of human-robot interaction as a top-tier, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary publication. The journal prioritizes articles that significantly contribute to the current state of the art, enhance overall knowledge, have a broad appeal, and are accessible to a diverse audience. Submissions are expected to meet a high scholarly standard, and authors are encouraged to ensure their research is well-presented, advancing the understanding of human-robot interaction, adding cutting-edge or general insights to the field, or challenging current perspectives in this research domain.
THRI warmly invites well-crafted paper submissions from a variety of disciplines, encompassing robotics, computer science, engineering, design, and the behavioral and social sciences. The scholarly articles published in THRI may cover a range of topics such as the nature of human interactions with robots and robotic technologies, methods to enhance or enable novel forms of interaction, and the societal or organizational impacts of these interactions. The editorial team is also keen on receiving proposals for special issues that focus on specific technical challenges or that apply human-robot interaction research to further areas like social computing, consumer behavior, health, and education.
