For the following question:

"Each team will have 2/3 members and 1 robot allocated by teaching staff to emulate the 'team work'
situation. The way the team operates is entirely a matter of negotiation between members but you
need to choose a group leader. As a minimum, each team must have a weekly meeting with the
module tutors from week 2 onwards during the timetabled practical workshop session to discuss
respective progress.
The theme for this assignment is:
1. Humanoid Robot as an Assistant Physiotherapist: to research and design Upper Limb or the
Whole-Body Collaborative Rehabilitation Training; and / or Lower Limb Massage with NAO robot.
For example:
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2055668319862151
Using the Design Research method that you learnt (Understand-Empathise-Define-Ideate-
Prototype), you will need to conduct research to understand the current healthcare constraints and
then design the innovative humanoid robotics program grounded on the latest and global literature
review on one of the above topics.
All the above are non-trivial and will require 3-5 minutes Human-Robot interactive programs with a
real-world problem for design requirement, e.g. taking input from sensors (tactile, pressure, sonars,
microphones or Infrared), robotic vision (2 cameras for object recognition, localisation or motion
planning) and controlling a variety of physical outputs such as movements, speech, LED animation,
speech, music and robotic movement. The weekly studio should give you practical programming skills,
applied AI guide and a skeleton of code to build on. Feel free to insert creative ideas within the
topics and use your own social imagination to add props, music or dance.

A brief research paper to report and discuss the research and design (R&D) of the topic, and to
showcase the working prototype by attaching a Youtube video link

1.1 The Traditional Methods and International Horizon for Robotics Intervention
1.2 Research Problem Statement
2. Design Research Method (300-500 words)
Discussion of the humanoid robot model and how you research and design the project.
Description with some figures or workflow (e.g. flow-chart, use case scenario, Choregraphe
screen shots or etc.) of the running robotic programme.
3. Finding and Reflection (400-800 words)
Implementation discussion with snippet of code and evaluation of the prototype. The list of
technical and ethical issues (at least two) faced while developing the robotic system and the
approaches in which these problems were handled or resolved. Critical Reflection upon
group’s experience of developing the robotic programme with ethical, social, cultural and
legal considerations.
4. Conclusions and Future Work (300-550 words)
The concluding remarks with key results and some recommendations for the future work.
❖ References (full list in Harvard Format) – the word count of this section is excluded"

Whilst taking the above question specifications into consideration, please can you write me an entry for ONLY THE FOLLOWING SPECIFIED SECTION BEING '1.1 The Traditional Methods and International Horizon for Robotics Intervention'. Please ensure that during the creation of this entry that the tone one would use when answering an important examination question is used and abides by the following: employs a vast range of references (embedded and harvard referenced) utilises impressive grammar/ demonstrates an astonishing linguistic prowess, shows extensive research that is abundant in detail and illustrates amazing attention to detail, is both concise and insightful, demonstrates excellent reflection, showcases linguistic elegance of a publishable quality, and finally has embedded harvard references and a separate references section. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS REQUEST MUST BE A CONTINUATION OF THE FOLLOWING (the following of which is what I have produced pertaining to '1.1 The Traditional Methods and International Horizon for Robotics Intervention'): "In continuation of the scintillating premise elucidated heretofore, and as previously alluded to in the abstract, the explication of humanoid robotic applications in physiotherapy beckons a comprehensive review of the current literature to unfurl a taxonomy of extant methodologies and the frontiers of robotic intervention. Embellished by the notion that the rote, repetitive, and structured fabric of physiotherapeutic procedures is amenable to mechanisation (Krebs, et al., 2018), the valiant NAO humanoid robot stands at the vanguard of this therapeutic odyssey, its intrinsic competency to deliver indefatigable, exact, and individualised care denoting a considerable enhancement in catering to the rehabilitative exigencies of those that are beset by limb mobility limitations (Gassert & Dietz, 2018).
The perspicacious exploration into the orthodox channels on the subject of rehabilitation unveils a mosaic where the manual ministrations of physiotherapists remain the fulcrum of therapeutic engagement, albeit encumbered by the innate frailties pertaining to humanoid demonstrated endurance, and the necessitated prerequisites of a global demographic metamorphosis. As the pendulum of healthcare imperatives oscillates with amplifying extent, the dialogue gravitates toward the ingenious assimilation of humanoid robotics as salient participants to expedite physiotherapeutic modus operandi. The inherent adaptability of humanoid robots, their burgeoning autonomy buttressed by artificial intelligence, in conjunction with their proviso for both motoric involvement and sensory feedback bespeak their prospective function as integral intermediaries that can facilitate, replicate, and magnify therapeutic stratagems that are propounded by their respective human counterparts (Dautenhahn & Werry, 2005; Johnson, et al., 2014).
Amidst the ambit of medical/ physiotherapeutic apparatus refinement, a cornucopia of varying countries are championing the inception of innovative resolutions to traverse the particularised constraints integral to their corresponding healthcare dilemmas. In light of the relentlessly swelling geriatric populace, as formerly noted, paired with the necessity for the effective administration and economisation of health-related expenses, the pertinence of these technologies is at an unprecedented zenith. Echoing sentiments expressed earlier; Japan has systematically displayed laudable foresight in the proactive amalgamation of humanoid robotic technology into the operational fabric of its healthcare milieus. With the illustrious pantheon of robotic applications, conceived by the visionary minds at Cyberdyne, the HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) robot stands out as a paradigmatic instance of applied humanoid robotics, substantially aiding, and propelling the rehabilitative and ambulatory capabilities for those that exhibit varying degrees of motor control diminution and limb functionality restrictions- advantages of which are recognised by our collaborative humanoid robot assistance physiotherapist project that via our pursuits, we are eager to see emulated and established on a more universal front. The application of this Cyberdyne devised exoskeletal contrivances in question have showcased promising advances, serving to not only reinforce patients beset by muscular debilitation, but also endorsing recuperative measures for those that are recovering from strokes and enduring spinal cord attributed afflictions (Suzuki, et al., 2015; Demura, et al., 2015; Dario, et al., 2012).
