This article shows the design of an assistive product and a proposal of a business plan for persons with motor disability in lower-limbs, in accordance with the guidelines for social inclusion of the World Health Organization (2001). The design project wit ...
Falls are an urgent challenge in aging societies, and balance dysfunction is a major risk factor. Current robotic technology that assists human locomotion, however, aims at versatile functionality, particularly in the assistance of weak muscles. Such versa ...
Person identification using audio or visual biometrics is a well-studied problem in pattern recognition. In this scenario, both training and testing are done on the same modalities. However, there can be situations where this condition is not valid, i.e. t ...
Understanding cognitive states of human under different difficulty levels is useful in improving human-human and human-machine interactions. For example, a crucial factor in designing games is maintaining the engagement of players. An ideal scenario would ...
Collaborative learning has often been associated with the construction of a shared understanding of the situation at hand. The psycholinguistics mechanisms at work while establishing common grounds are the object of scientific controversy. We postulate tha ...
Peter Varga has passed on October 27, 2018. His pioneering discoveries of chemical resolution at the atomic scale on surface alloys, atomic resolution of ultrathin alkali halides, nucleation of bcc iron in ultrathin films, and the microscopic structure of ...
Tasks routinely executed by humans involve sequences of actions performed with high dexterity and coordination. Fully specifying these actions such that a robot could replicate the task is often difficult. Furthermore the uncertainties introduced by the us ...
In the future, the existing housing stock should be improved while less new dwellings are built. This improvement will take the form of energy-efficient renovation as well as by encouraging cohabitation and reducing the amount of living space occupied per ...
Driving requires the constant coordination of many body systems and full attention of the person. Cognitive distraction (subsidiary mental load) of the driver is an important factor that decreases attention and responsiveness, which may result in human err ...
A common technique to by-pass 2-D face recognition systems is to use photographs of spoofed identities. Unfortunately, research in counter-measures to this type of attack have not kept-up - even if such threats have been known for nearly a decade, there se ...
