Synopsis

Present day sophisticated, adaptive, and autonomous (to a certain degree) robotic technology is a radically new stimulus for the cognitive system of the human learner from the earliest to the oldest age. It deserves extensive, thorough, and systematic research based on novel frameworks for analysis, modelling, synthesis, and implementation of CPSs for social applications.

Cyber-Physical Systems for Social Applications is a critical scholarly book that examines the latest empirical findings for designing cyber-physical systems for social applications and aims at forwarding the symbolic human-robot perspective in areas that include education, social communication, entertainment, and artistic performance. Highlighting topics such as evolinguistics, human-robot interaction, and neuroinformatics, this book is ideally designed for social network developers, cognitive scientists, education science experts, evolutionary linguists, researchers, and academicians.

About the Authors

Maya Dimitrova received her higher education in psychology from St Petersburg, Russia, in 1985. She obtained her MSc in psychology (by research) (with distinction) from Warwick University, UK, in 1995 and her PhD on Adaptive Human Computer Interface from Institute of Control and Systems Research at BAS in 2002. She is currently Associate Professor at the Institute of Robotics at BAS, working on humanoid robotics for learners with special needs. Since 2017 she engaged with EU funded project of Cyber-physical systems for pedagogical rehabilitation in special education CybSPEED.

Hiroaki Wagatsuma is an Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Life Science and Systems Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology. He is also a visiting scientist at RIKEN Center for Brain Science and a Cross-Appointment Fellow, Artificial Intelligence Research Center, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. His areas of specialization are Nonlinear Dynamics, Emergent Intelligence, Episodic Memory and Emotion, Societal Robot, Computational Neuroscience, Neuroinformatics, Sport Biomechanics, Rehabilitation Support. His current research areas are Bio-medical Signal Processing and Sparse Coding, Sport Dynamics and Synergy analysis, Computational Neuroscience and Brain-Inspired Robotics, Neuroinformatics. In addition to being actively involved in interdisciplinary research to develop assistive devices to physically challenged people, he has authored books on Neuromorphic and Brain-Based Robots, and a chapter of the Information Extraction from the Internet.
