In this paper, a new approach to define output actions associated with output event types for human-system interaction modeling is presented. In previous works, output events are used to affect a signal in a basic way: increment, decrement or set its value in the next time instant. This work proposes a set of new types of events to define different dependencies and behaviors for output signals. These events affect the associated signal with a specific behavior, which can be defined using specific characteristics including a function, a time window, and/or a final value. The concepts of delayed output events and zoomed output event are already proposed. Delayed events postpone the event contribution in a specific number of steps. Zoomed events change the number of steps between each contribution, allowing expanding and contracting the associated behavior. These concepts can be applied to previous types of events. Finally, the proposals are discussed, presenting some examples of usage for each type of events.

The paper offers the model of an operator's vocational aptitude by way of the multiconnected system of professionally important qualities. The decision on the level of vocational aptitude is made by the of decision-making support system on the basis of fuzzy logic using the Mamdani algorithm. This results in the integrated assessment of vocational aptitude and an individual portrait of the level of development of professionally important qualities, which is used for working out the individual program of man-machine systems operators training. The system under discussion has been tested on operators of transport-technological machines.

Due to (ongoing) technical processes with regard to applications of robotics one may analyse the organizational effects this technology has in two sectors: 1) Manufacturing: where industrial robotics has a long tradition and the human-machine interaction is organized basically by Tayloristic working structure (division of labour, changes of qualification and skills, speeding up processes, high economic efficiency). Through new innovative applications in robotics this sector is actually facing new challenges of this interaction with regard to new issues i.e. safety, complexity of work environment etc. 2) Health: the application of assistive robot systems in surgery operations is still very recent, but has already created specific pattern of working environment which show significant similarities to manufacturing. In both sectors the impact of robotics on the organizational working environment is widely unknown. This paper explores scientific knowledge about the impact of robotics on working environment in both sectors based on different methods of Technology Assessment.

Severely impaired children with Physical and Neurological Impairments (PNI) often have erratic test responses because of impairments. Very often even the binary (YES/NO) intention of a PNI child cannot be determined because responses are made at the wrong time and conflicting signals are sent. We propose that it is possible to determine intention using significant streaks of successful responses found in the noisy responses. We can use two measures among others to determine intention; the maximum streak size attained in a test run with a device, and the sum of the significant streaks in the test run. The maximum streak size measures consecutive successes and the sum of streaks gives an indication measure of re-attempts. This work is part of a larger study to increase accessibility of PNI children to a cognitive test through the use of new non-hand held devices that interact with a computer. Using the proposed two measures, we are able to compare more closely the performance of the less capable and the more capable PNI children. The results show that the children who are more capable re-attempt in that test when they fail to achieve a target. Conversely the less able children divide into two groups: those that do re-attempt the target and those that do not re-attempt the target dependent however on the device being used. These results provide two measures that are potentially useful for determining the intention of the child undertaking the cognitive test.

An innovative tactile pad that presents various tactile sensations synchronizing with moving pictures is presented in this paper. To display tactile/touch sensations from a pad, a tactile display panel is designed by employing 10 micro-vibration actuators that provide tactile-stimulation sources using shape memory alloy wires. With the employment of the human higher-level perception caused by appropriate micro-vibratory stimuli, the resolution of the designed tactile display panel increases more than three times, so that people perceive various tactile sensations with high resolution enough for the better reality. By employing a webcam to capture moving pictures, the tactile pad system automatically recognizes the texture information contained in the scene, which are associated with tactile information to be output from the tactile pad. In order to let people reasonably perceive the presented tactile sensations, the developed system automatically translates visual information to tactile sensation. For verifying the effectiveness of the developed vision-based tactile pad system, experiments are conducted and the results are presented.

Towards fully autonomous navigation, guidance plays an important task for successful autonomous navigation. In this paper, the authors propose an obstacle avoidance strategy based on distance clustering analysis for safe autonomous robot navigation. Autonomous navigation systems must be able to recognize objects in order to perform a collision free motion in both unknown indoor/outdoor environments. Firstly, it was proposed to detect objects using the Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) method through a dynamic density-reachable implementation. Secondly, in order to determine an optimal path for collision avoidance a distance clustering analysis was implemented. Subsequently, a set of possible waypoints were extracted in order to estimate the best path candidate. Preliminary results were gathered and tested on a group of consecutive frames. These specific methods of measurement were chosen to prove their effectiveness.

With escalating fuel prices, limited fossil fuel reserves and increasing carbon emissions, significant efforts are being made to decrease fuel consumption in vehicles. While, drivetrain improvements play a major role in improving fuel economy, it has been identified that fuel efficient driving behavior is a viable method for increased fuel efficiency. Thus, if the optimal fuel efficient behavior can be identified, it can be used to increase the fuel efficiency of drivers. However, once the optimal fuel efficient behavior is identified, it has to be presented to the driver, while the vehicle is being driven. Thus, this method of information representation has to be un-obstructive and easy to comprehend. This paper presents a low cost framework and a hardware setup for prompting drivers on fuel efficient behavior. The presented framework includes an information rich, intuitive un-obstructive visualization. The presented method was implemented using low cost, commercial-off-the-shelf hardware and tested on a sample of buses selected from the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) bus fleet. Different types of visual cues were and evaluated by professional drivers for obstructiveness, interpretability and intuitiveness.

For reducing the risk of pressure sore caused by long period sitting on a wheelchair, we have been developed a depressurization motion assistance system for a wheelchair user. Our developed system consists of a sitting surface lifting device and a backrest tension coordination device. Our system assists to realize the suitable posture of the seated patient with these two devices. In our previous works, we investigate an index of the pressure sore risk by analyzing unconscious body motions of a healthy person who sits long time. From these analysis results, subjects want to depressurize their buttock or back when their posture is not suitable and a pressure concentration to a specific position on their buttock or back continues the fixed period. These conditions seem to be an index of pressure sore risk and in this paper, we propose an automatic depressurization motion assistance scheme based on this index. Our proposed system assists a patient to move his body for distributing the pressure concentration on his buttock or back and leads the suitable sitting posture when these conditions are fulfilled. Using our proposed assistance system, the patient can depressurize by a natural body motion when he wants. The performance of our system is verified by experiments using our prototype.

Rehabilitation robots are useful tools to objectively quantify and treat post-stroke impairments. The SCRIPT Passive Orthosis (SPO) is an passively actuated hand orthosis that can be used for interactive therapy at home. In the last year the SPO was used independently by 24 patients in three EU countries. In this paper we report on the technical challenges this has presented and the feedback we were given by therapists and patients. This includes the range-of-motion of the device, the assistive characteristics, the potential for grasp detection, and the user acceptance.
