What defines research when artificial intelligence and robots become both subjects and collaborators? What happens when inquiry itself is shaped by synthetic cognition, algorithmic design, and machine-mediated observation?
URCA documents research and studies as rituals of discovery—methods, trials, and frameworks that reveal how knowledge is built, tested, and transformed. These entries span experimental designs, observational studies, meta-analyses, and interdisciplinary investigations involving AI and robotics.
Whether exploring synthetic emotion, robotic ethics, or AI-enhanced diagnostics, each study reflects a choreography of intent, evidence, and symbolic interpretation.
Research is not just a method—it’s a mirror of curiosity, a scaffold for understanding, and a ritual of truth-making in the age of artificial intelligence.

Trust and Compliance: Robotic Advisors for Older Adults in Healthcare
The rapid evolution of healthcare robotics promises to assist an aging population with everyday health needs – from reminding older adults to take medications to providing companionship and advice. As these robotic advisors become more prevalent in elder care, a crucial question arises: will seniors trust these robots, and thus follow their guidance? Trust is…
