Robotic sensingRobotic sensing is a subarea of robotics science intended to provide sensing capabilities to robots. Robotic sensing provides robots with the ability to sense their environments and is typically used as feedback to enable robots to adjust their behavior based on sensed input. Robot sensing includes the ability to see, touch, hear and move and associated algorithms to process and make use of environmental feedback and sensory data.
Developmental roboticsDevelopmental robotics (DevRob), sometimes called epigenetic robotics, is a scientific field which aims at studying the developmental mechanisms, architectures and constraints that allow lifelong and open-ended learning of new skills and new knowledge in embodied machines. As in human children, learning is expected to be cumulative and of progressively increasing complexity, and to result from self-exploration of the world in combination with social interaction.

Violence familialeSont qualifiées de violences familiales celles exercées au sein de la famille, au sens large. L'expression, comme l'expression voisine de violences intrafamiliales, vise les faits de violence conjugale, de violences faites aux enfants mineurs, aux ascendants, ou à tout membre de la famille élargie, dès lors qu'ils partagent le même toit, voire, selon les cultures une communauté proche. Selon un rapport de 2014 de l'Office des Nations unies contre la drogue et le crime (ONUDC), sur les personnes assassinées dans le monde en 2012, 95 % des auteurs étaient des hommes qui représentaient aussi 80 % des victimes.
Effects of domestic violence on childrenThe effects of domestic violence on children have a tremendous impact on the well-being and developmental growth of children witnessing it. Children who witness domestic violence in the home often believe that they are to blame, live in a constant state of fear, and are 15 times more likely to be victims of child abuse. Close observation during an interaction can alert providers to the need for further investigation and intervention, such as dysfunctions in the physical, behavioral, emotional, and social areas of life, and can aid in early intervention and assistance for child victims.
