We study the design of split keyboards for fast text entry with two thumbs on mobile touchscreen devices. The layout KALQ was determined through first studying how users should grip a device hands. then assigned letters to keys computationally, using model two-thumb tapping. minimizes thumb travel distance and maximizes alternation between thumbs. An error correction algorithm added help address linguistic motor errors. Users reached rate 37 words per minute (with 5% rate) after training program.
The intuitive and effective haptic feedback interaction is essential for human–machine interfaces. However, most current commercial solutions are rigid, simplex, insufficient to fully immerse users in virtual teleoperated environments. Here, we report the design, fabrication performance of a low-cost lightweight self-sensing actuator (SenAct) that provides accurate force vibration recreate tactile perception. SenAct shows good such as fast response (10 ms), high robustness (>10,000 cycles),...
Indirect speech acts (ISAs) are a natural pragmatic feature of human communication, allowing requests to be conveyed implicitly while maintaining subtlety and flexibility. Although advancements in recognition have enabled language interactions with robots through direct, explicit commands -- roviding clarity communication the rise large models presents potential for interpret ISAs. However, empirical evidence on effects ISAs human-robot collaboration (HRC) remains limited. To address this,...
Guiding robots, in the form of canes or cars, have recently been explored to assist blind and low vision (BLV) people. Such robots can provide full partial autonomy when guiding. However, pros cons different forms for guiding remain unknown. We sought fill this gap. designed autonomy-switchable robotic cane car. conducted a controlled lab-study (N=12) field study (N=9) on BLV. Results showed that received better walking performance subjective ratings study, whereas participants used more...
Trajectory representation learning plays a pivotal role in supporting various downstream tasks, such as travel time estimation, trajectory classification and Top-k similar search. Traditional methods order to filter the noise GPS trajectories tend focus on routing-based simplify trajectories. However, these approaches ignore motion details contained data, limiting capability of learning. To fill this gap, we propose novel framework that is Jointly G PS Route Modeling based self-supervised...
Office Assistant Robots (OARs) offer a promising solution to proactively provide in-situ support enhance employee well-being and productivity in office spaces. We introduce OfficeMate, social OAR designed assist with practical tasks, foster interaction, promote health well-being. Through pilot evaluation seven participants an environment, we found that users see potential OARs for reducing stress promoting healthy habits value the robot's ability companionship physical activity reminders...
Quadruped robots have the potential to guide blind and low vision (BLV) people due their highly flexible locomotion emotional value provided by bionic forms. However, development of quadruped rarely involves BLV users' participatory designs evaluations. In this paper, we conducted two empirical experiments both in indoor controlled outdoor field scenarios, exploring benefits drawbacks robots. The results show that nowadays commercial exposed significant disadvantages usability trust compared...
Momentum profiles of the valence orbitals methylpropane, also known as isobutane (CH3CH(CH3)CH3), have been studied by using a high resolution binary (e,2e) electron momentum spectrometer (EMS), at an impact energy 1200 eV plus binding energy, and symmetric noncoplanar kinematics. The coincidence EMS is 0.95 full width half-maximum. experimental are compared with theoretical distributions calculated Hartree–Fock (HF) density functional theory (DFT) methods two basis sets 6-31G 6-311++G**....
Touchscreen technology plays an important role in the booming mobile devices market. Traditional touchscreen only provides 2D interactions with limited user experience. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel 3D touch sensing system called Airtouch system, which can recognize movement of finger 3-dimensional space. Half manufacturing cost is reduced by applying single layer electrodes panel design. Moreover, oscillator based correlated double sampling circuit implemented as...
In this paper we examine the use of a robot's face as an interface for affective visualisation design, concept that name FaceVis. We conducted design workshop with 9 experts to explore metaphorical ideas on how leverage physicality, appearance and agency convey data communicate emotion. present insights potential challenges, benefits pitfalls when using visualise data. Our results show approach has enhance user engagement, support self-reflection elicit empathic concern. contribute three...
BACKGROUND: Astronauts’ orientation preferences tend to correlate with their susceptibility space motion sickness (SMS). Orientation appear universally, since variable sensory cue priorities are used between individuals. However, SMS changes after proper training, while seem be intrinsic proclivities. The present study was conducted investigate whether change if is reduced repeated exposure a virtual reality (VR) stimulus environment that induces SMS. METHODS: A horizontal supine posture...
As autonomous driving systems prevail, it is becoming increasingly critical that the learn from databases containing fine-grained scenarios. Most currently available are human-annotated; they expensive, time-consuming, and subject to behavioral biases. In this paper, we provide initial evidence supporting a novel technique utilizing drivers' electroencephalography (EEG) signals implicitly label hazardous scenarios while passively viewing recordings of real-road driving, thus sparing need for...
