Pierre Dillenbourg, Francesco Mondada, Philippe Rétornaz, Séverin Lemaignan, Julia Fink, Florian Christopher Vaussard, Alain Berthoud
We present the design approach and evaluation of our proto- type called “Ranger”. Ranger is a robotic toy box that aims to motivate young children to tidy up their room. We evalu- ated Ranger in 14 families with 31 children (2-10 years) using the Wizard-of ...
2014Motivating Children to Tidy up their Toys with a Robotic Box
Pierre Dillenbourg, Francesco Mondada, Philippe Rétornaz, Julia Fink, Florian Christopher Vaussard, Alain Berthoud
The poster presents the evaluation of our prototype, called “Ranger”, which is a robotic box that aims to motivate young children to tidy up their room. The robot was tested in 14 families with 31 children (2-10 years) using the Wizard-of-Oz technique. We ...
2013How Children Tidy up Their Room with "Ranger" the Robotic Box
Pierre Dillenbourg, Francesco Mondada, Philippe Rétornaz, Julia Fink, Florian Christopher Vaussard, Alain Berthoud
"Ranger" is a robotic box designed to motivate young children to tidy up the toys in their rom. It explores the idea of integrating robotics into daily life objects, such as a wooden box. The box shows light and sound when toys are put inside or removed. W ...
2012A Disdrometer based on Ultra-Fast SPAD Cameras
Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Alexis Berne, Samuel Burri, Alain Berthoud
We present a new environmental application of SPAD imagers, namely the continuous and real-time measurement of size and shapes of hydrometeors. Details of the set-up and results obtained with a first 32x32 pixel prototype based on the RADHARD2 chip [1] are ...
2011A Disdrometer based on ultra-fast SPAD Cameras
Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Alexis Berne, Samuel Burri, Alain Berthoud
We present a new environmental application of SPAD imagers, the continuous measurement of size and shapes of hydrometeors. A first 32×32 pixel prototype allows real-time operation at very low light levels, 6000 fps and 1:100 average data reduction. ...
