Research on creation of virtual humans enables increasing automatization their behavior, including synthesis verbal and nonverbal behavior. As the achievable realism different aspects agent design evolves asynchronously, it is important to understand if how divergence in between behavioral channels can elicit negative user responses. Specifically, this work, we investigate question whether autonomous agents relying synthetic text-to-speech voices should portray a corresponding level...

The portrayed personality of virtual characters and agents is understood to influence how we perceive engage with digital applications. Understanding the features speech animation drive allows us intentionally design be more personalized engaging. In this study, use performance capture data unscripted conversations from a variety actors explore perceptual outcomes associated modalities motion. Specifically, contrast full performance-driven those by generated gestures synthesized speech,...

The benefits of robotics are evident in many industries. However, the food processing industry has not been able to realize this benefit due limitations imposed by operating environment. demanding environment handling fresh meat products typically includes a daily wash with high pressure as well highly corrosive cleaning agents. This paper described development robot specifically built for such selection materials washdown working conditions, unique coaxial shaft design, was specified. Based...

Blood is a vital but often scarce resource in developing countries. It crucial that safe blood made available for transfusions hospitals and clinics to prevent the spread of transfusion-transmitted infections (TTI) such as HIV, hepatitis syphilis. We present system designed promote hemovigilance countries by monitoring collection usage patterns blood, predicting upcoming time periods finding an allocation assignment distribution fair efficient.

Abstract In the food processing industry, particularly where naturally formed products are processed, complex shapes frequently encountered. For example, in poultry processing, shape of (chicken carcasses) is always a challenge. During carcasses transported, heated, cooled, washed, and cut. The thermal treatment requires cooling heating process be designed to meet certain conditions. This despite fact that with heterogeneous properties various sizes, shapes, thicknesses processed at same...
