The concept of mentoring has been increasingly applied in programs aimed at adolescent development in different contexts. Among these, we highlight the school and community contexts because of its relevance in adolescents’ life trajectory. Given the growing popularity of these programs, integration of theory and research is necessary to fulfill its goals of cultivating and supporting caring relationships betwee...
In previous work we have presented a model for generating human-like arm and hand movements on an anthropomorphic robot involved in human-robot collaboration tasks. This model was inspired by the Posture-Based Motion-Planning Model of human movements. Numerical results and simulations for reach-to-grasp movements with two different grip types have been presented previously. In this paper we extend our mode...
A leitura e a escrita constituem estratégias complexas que a maior parte das crianças domina sem dificuldades, desde que atinja um determinado grau de maturidade e exista um ambiente pedagógico favorável. Contudo, quer a leitura, quer a escrita podem transformar-se num quebra-cabeças para crianças que, embora sendo totalmente normais noutras áreas de desenvolvimento, apresentam problemas específicos da leitura ...
Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Psicologia (área de especialização de Psicologia Clínica) ; O presente estudo sustenta como principal objetivo avaliar a influência da qualidade das relações íntimas e regulação emocional no envolvimento em ferimentos autoinfligidos. Apresenta ainda como objetivos específicos: 1) caracterizar os ferimentos autoinfligidos numa amostra da comunidade constituída por jovens adu...
Humans are experts in cooperating in a smooth and proactive manner. Action and intention understanding are critical components of efficient joint action. In the context of the EU Integrated Project JAST [16] we have developed an anthropomorphic robot endowed with these cognitive capacities. This project and respective robot (ARoS) is the focus of the video. More specifically, the results illustrate crucial cogn...
The design of autonomous robots, able to closely cooperate with human users in shared tasks, provides many new challenges for robotics research. Compared to industrial applications, robots working in human environments will need to have human-like abilities in their cognitive and motor behaviors. Here we present a model for generating trajectories of a high degree of freedom robotics arm-hand system that reflec...
In this chapter we present results of our ongoing research on efficient and fluent human-robot collaboration that is heavily inspired by recent experimental findings about the neurocognitive mechanisms supporting joint action in humans. The robot control architecture implements the joint coordination of actions and goals as a dynamic process that integrates contextual cues, shared task knowledge and the predict...
In this paper we present a model for action preparation and decision making in cooperative tasks that is inspired by recent experimental findings about the neurocognitive mechanisms supporting joint action in humans. It implements the coordination of actions and goals among the partners as a dynamic process that integrates contextual cues, shared task knowledge and predicted outcome of others’ motor behavior. T...
É na prática clínica, formação e investigação que o Enfermeiro Especialista consolida os conhecimentos e competências que lhe permitem, respeitando a individualidade de cada um, assistir a criança, adolescente e família em diferentes contextos, promovendo a saúde, prevenindo e tratando a doença, fornecendo cuidados paliativos e de reabilitação. O Relatório Final de Estágio foi realizado no âmbito do Curso de Me...
