“…In general, a different robot morphology may afford different touch types more than others. We also plan to utilize smart textile sensors [14,30] on the robot (e.g. Nao) distributing the sensors on a wearable (Wearable Affective Interface, or WAffI-see Lowe et al [34]) in accordance with our findings.…”

Affective touch has a fundamental role in human development, social bonding, and for providing emotional support in interpersonal relationships. We present, what is to our knowledge, the first HRI study of tactile conveyance of both positive and negative emotions (affective touch) on the Nao robot, and based on an experimental set-up from a study of human-human tactile communication. In the present work, participants conveyed eight emotions to a small humanoid robot via touch. We found that female participants conveyed emotions for a longer time, using more varied interaction and touching more regions on the robot's body, compared to male participants. Several differences between emotions were found such that emotions could be classified by the valence of the emotion conveyed, by combining touch amount and duration. Overall, these results show high agreement with those reported for human-human affective tactile communication and could also have impact on the design and placement of tactile sensors on humanoid robots.

Abstract-A multiband Fractal Koch dipole textile antenna is proposed for wearable applications. The antenna is designed to operate at 0.9 GHz, 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz. Denim materials as the substrate are selected aiming to obtain robustness, flexibility and a lightweight textile antenna. The antenna model is designed, simulated, optimized and analyzed using Microwave Studio CST software. Two types of multiband antenna prototypes are fabricated and evaluated with different conducting elements (Shield It fabric and copper foil tape). Antenna performance is observed in terms of return loss, bandwidth, radiation pattern and realized gain. Three different comprehensive analyses are taken into consideration: measurement antenna with different bending sizes, on-body measurement and under wet conditions. The antenna performances are evaluated based on resonant frequency (f o ) and bandwidth (BW). The antennas performance with bending on the human body (arm & forearm) is compared and investigated. A suitable placement on the body has been discovered between the chest and backside. The antennas have also been tested under wet conditions to ensure a stable characteristic under the influence of water.

“…Therefore, it should be simplified, invisible, attractive and fashionable [32], mentioned that the prototyping process consists of three parallel activities: electronics, garment making and interaction design; those three activities are strongly connected to each other. Thus, wearable technology projects are done in collaboration with different groups from different fields of research (varying from fashion to engineering) in order to create balanced products in function and aesthetics ( Figure 7) [27]. Suggested that a new product design model is needed to enhance understanding about the work and communication with collaborators.…”

The textile and clothing industry is moving away from its traditional roots in an attempt to revive the fortunes of this mature industry, through the adoption of novel technologies. Digital Prototypes are used as an essential tool in the modern design process. The integration can speed up the design process and affect competition be-tween companies. Typical applications are digital textile and fashion design, pattern generation to custom-design clothing, fitting evaluation, style editing, and virtual try-on. However, new product developments in textiles and clothing have widened our views of the world and must also be covered. The ever-growing spectrum of smart textiles and wearable technologies has the potential to take the textile industry in a completely new & sustainable direction, far beyond its traditional roots. The integration of smart functionality into clothing and other textile products into the digital prototype is essential in order to alter our relationship with them and the way we use them.
