【摘要】 The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology allows robots to have social functions. In the case of human individuals interacting directly with a robot with artificial intelligence, if the individual can perceive the same or similar feelings as they have when interacting with a real human, the robot can be considered to have social presence. Trust is an important factor that affects human-robot collaboration. This research explores the influence of the character and information disclosure of robots on trust in human-robot collaboration as well as the mediating role of social presence. This study uses the Columbia Card Task to design a human-robot cooperative experiment platform. During the experiment, robots provide different levels of character (introversion vs. extroversion) and information disclosure (high disclosure vs. low disclosure). The results show that the character of robots has a significant impact on emotional trust: the higher the level of extroversion is, the stronger the level of human emotional trust. Furthermore, the level of information disclosure by robots has a significant impact on cognitive trust: the higher the level of information disclosure is, the stronger the level of cognitive trust. Social presence has a mediating role in the effect of character on emotional trust and the impact of information disclosure on cognitive trust. The research results can provide suggestions for improving the acceptance of social robots in human-robot collaboration and improving the quality and efficiency of collaborative human-robot task decision-making. Research on robots' character and information disclosure can provide a theoretical basis for related researchers and developers.

【摘要】 As part of its ongoing drive to encourage more young people to begin a career in automation and engineering, Coventry-based Fanuc UK is inviting 'the country's brightest young minds' to take part in the WorldSkills UK Industrial Robotics competition. For the fourth year running, the company is partnering with World-Skills UK to give apprentices and students the chance to learn key robotics programming and operating skills - and even earn the right to represent Squad UK at the international finals in China. Entry is open at the website (www.worldskillsuk.org/competitions/industrial-robotics) for teams of two people aged 16-plus and closes 29 March 2024. After completing an initial simulated entry-stage task, successful applicants will undertake training with Fanuc ahead of the hands-on qualifier stage, which is being held at the Smart Factory Expo 5-6 June at the NEC in Birmingham.

【摘要】 Long cycle life, high energy density and resistance to shock and vibration are common requirements in AGVs and other types of mobile robots. How do they affect the choice of chemistry, cell and battery pack design? asks Owen McNally, Alexander Battery Technologies. Efficiency, maximal throughputs, safety and lower operating costs are key requirements in today's smart, digitalised factories and warehouses. To meet these objectives, industrial companies are automating even more processes and use robotic devices, particularly mobile robots such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs), automated mobile robots (AMRs) and frame climbers in automated warehouses. These systems' popularity is due to their ability to work 24 hours a day without stopping, which in turn calls for portable battery power systems to maintain their continuous operation, without running out of charge, or failing prematurely because of a fault.
