In recent years, two fields have become more prominent in our everyday life: smart cities and service robots. a city, information is collected from distributed sensors around the city into centralised data hubs used to improve efficiency of systems provide better services citizens. Exploiting major advances Computer Vision Machine Learning, robots evolved performing simple tasks playing role hotel concierges, museum guides, waiters cafes restaurants, home assistants, automated delivery...
This paper describes the use of Citizen Curation to explore ways in which cross-modal experiences can be used and created by museum visitors. defined as individuals groups from outside profession engaging curatorial activities communicate their own ideas stories. Previous work has explored how broaden range voices reflected museum, thereby widening its appeal relevance new audiences. Recent research suggests that experiences, combining visual art with music, enhance cultural experience...
This paper describes the design and use of Deep Viewpoints, a software platform for eliciting sharing citizen perspectives associated with museum artworks. The is inspired by process Slow Looking in which visitors are guided to observe artworks develop their own response. Within processes observing responding script comprising stages containing artworks, statements, prompts or questions follower can respond. Scripts intended either gallery remotely. We describe Viewpoints how it be used...
Abstract A new multirate nonlinear controller for robot manipulators is described. The algorithm stems from the computed torque method, but has several modifications on its structure, resulting in a more robust controller. main philosophy behind those improvements resides sound engineering and management of system resources. Consequently, use sampling, memory tables, predictive action arises naturally that methodology. easy to tune using standard industrial practice; moreover, by alleviating...
This article explores and presents innovative methods technologies for supporting citizen curation of cultural heritage. Relevant outcomes the SPICE project (Social Participation, Cohesion, Inclusion through Cultural Engagement) are presented, focusing on enhancing state content management delivery strategies in museums memory institutions. We argue that requires a principled way managing integrating responses, contributions, data flows domain heritage, raising challenges opportunities such...
