Recent years have witnessed many successful trials in the robot learning field. For contact-rich robotic tasks, it is challenging to learn coordinated motor skills by reinforcement learning. Imitation learning solves this problem by using a…
It is a widespread belief among musicians that a violin's sound ``opens up'' or improves through regular playing. However, physical evidence for this ``playing-in'' effect remains elusive. This study revisited the phenomenon by testing two…
This study aimed to develop a system that provides vibrotactile feedback corresponding to the emotional content of text when a communication robot speaks. We used OpenAI's "GPT-4o Mini" for emotion estimation, extracting valence and arousal…
For around 300 years, humans have been learning to play the modern piano either with a teacher or on their own. In recent years teaching and learning have been enhanced using augmented technologies that support novices. Other technologies…
The choice of visualisation in empirical performance analysis is not a neutral presentation decision but an analytical one: different graphical forms reveal different features of the same dataset, and reliance on any single type…
