Imagined own-body transformations during passive self-motion

Olaf Blanke, Michiel van Elk

Spatial perspective taking is a crucial social skill that underlies many of our everyday interactions. Previous studies have suggested that spatial perspective taking is an embodied process that involves the integration of both motor and proprioceptive inf ...

A Situated and Embodied Approach to Service-oriented Modeling

Anshuman Bahadur Saxena

[Context] As opposed to the traditional approach to problem solving, which limits the scope of the solution to the stated problem, the mandate for services is to go deeper and focus on the value that the proposed solution creates for the entities affected ...

A Situated and Embodied Approach to Service Design

Alain Wegmann, Anshuman Bahadur Saxena

The two basic questions that every service-designer has to consider are – what features to include in a service, and who all to engage in the implementation of these features? We demonstrate that the true semantics of the value, which a service aims to cre ...

A Survey of Personality Computing

Gelareh Mohammadi, Alessandro Vinciarelli

Personality is a psychological construct aimed at explaining the wide variety of human behaviors in terms of a few, stable and measurable individual characteristics. In this respect, any technology involving understanding, prediction and synthesis of human ...

Detecting Cognitive States for Enhancing Driving Experience

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Huaijian Zhang, Lucian Andrei Gheorghe, Zahra Khaliliardali

Intelligent cars exploit environmental information to support drivers by providing extra information and assisting complex maneouvers. They can also take into account the internal state of the driver by means of decoding cognition-related brain activity. H ...

Vesicles and Vesicle Fusion: Coarse-Grained Simulations

Julian Charles Shillcock

Biological cells are highly dynamic, and continually move material around their own volume and between their interior and exterior. Much of this transport encapsulates the material inside phospholipid vesicles that shuttle to and from, fusing with, and bud ...

A Comparison of PSO and Reinforcement Learning for Multi-Robot Obstacle Avoidance

Alcherio Martinoli, Zeynab Talebpour, Ezequiel Leonardo Di Mario

The design of high-performing robotic controllers constitutes an example of expensive optimization in uncertain environments due to the often large parameter space and noisy performance metrics. There are several evaluative techniques that can be employed ...

On the Relationship Between Environmental and Mechanical Complexity in Evolved Robots

Joshua Evan Auerbach

According to the principles of embodied cognition, intelligent behavior must arise out of the coupled dynamics of an agent's brain, body, and environment. This suggests that the morphological complexity of a robot should scale in relation to the complexity ...

Young firms and innovation: A microeconometric analysis

Gabriele Pellegrino

This paper discusses the sources of product innovation in young innovative companies (YICs), here defined as firms engaged in product innovation and with less than 8 years of activity. In particular, we look at in-house and external R&D and at the acquisit ...

Soft Robotics: Challenges and Perspectives

There has been an increasing interest in the use of unconventional materials and morphologies in robotic systems because the underlying mechanical properties (such as body shapes, elasticity, viscosity, softness, density and stickiness) are crucial researc ...
