Understanding how human beings delegate tasks to trustees when presented with reputation information is important for building trust models human-agent collectives. However, there a lack of suitable platforms large scale datasets on this topic. We describe demonstration multi-agent game training students in the practice Agile software engineering. Through interacting agent competitors game, behavior data related users' decision-making process under uncertainty and resource constraints are...

Ikigai, a Japanese term often referred to as "purpose in life" or "the feeling that life is worthwhile", commonly used indicator of well-being studies focused on the elderly population Japan. It can be identified within different realms like family, work, and friendship. However, individuals age, their sense ikigai prone diminish. Teachable agents (TAs) have been employed educational settings for decades facilitate learning by teaching students. Previous research has indicated TAs positive...

We introduce a prediction driven method for visual tracking and segmentation in videos. Instead of solely relying on matching with appearance cues tracking, we build predictive model which guides finding more accurate regions efficiently. With the proposed mechanism, improve robustness against distractions occlusions during tracking. demonstrate significant improvements over state-of-the-art methods not only tasks (VOT 2016 VOT 2018) but also video datasets (DAVIS DAVIS 2017).

Purpose The parent-child relationship is important to the solidarity of families and emotional well-being family members. Since people are more dependent on their close social relationships as they age, understanding quality between aged parents adult children a critical topic. Previous research shows that this complicated with both kinship ambivalence. However, there little causes complexity. This paper proposes role model explain complexity by studying leadership transition within child...

As the global population ages and occurrence of single empty nest elderly household increases, artificial companion agents will play a more important part in seniors' daily life to bridge some gaps left by shortage caregiving manpower. This research focuses on improving emotional interaction strategies advising designers how produce that fulfil missing social roles around seniors enhance believability these agents.

The rapidly increasing elderly population in many developed and developing countries poses great challenges to care systems. To alleviate the problem of a shrinking workforce deliver care, using mobile intelligent assistants lessen caregivers' workload becomes promising solution. However, friendliness such assistants, which is seldom measured quantitative manner, may hinder their acceptance by users. In this paper, we propose formalized systematic approach named Elderly Friendliness...

It is important for artificial agents to accurately infer human emotions in order provide believable interactions. However, there currently a lack of empirical results supporting affective agent propose effective computational models this purpose through analyzing individual profile information and the interaction outcomes. In paper, we bridge gap with game-based study. We general model interactions between an user competitive game settings. Based on from over 450 players 2,500 sessions,...

Abstract China’s road traffic environment has the characteristics of mutual occlusion between targets, common use motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, etc., causing problem reduced accuracy semantic segmentation. KITTI, Cityscapes other datasets cannot meet specific needs segmentation images in China, so Apolloscape dataset is used. The traditional method uses a single evaluation standard, lacks consistency check image results. It ignores relationship pixels pixels, which easily causes...

In this paper, a new climbing robot concept and its control strategy are introduced. The presented in article is two-link planar equipped with two magnetic grippers one actuated tail, which designed to add energy the system for efficient climbing. inspired by brachiation robots. By alternating activation of using tail energy, can string together sequence pendulum-like paths motion reach any configuration on surface. Its high mobility low consumption make candidate applications cleaning...

In order to more preferably and adaptively solve problems in complex systems by using distributed intelligent system-based method rather than these conventional methods, a new learning from human brain biotic community for modeling decentralized multi-intelligent agent system is thus explored this paper. Therefore, analyzing ant colony's social & behavioral characteristics cognitive control mechanisms, an with stigmergy could be modeled designed, effective constructed. Hence,...

Developers' emotional stability in agile software development (ASD) teams is an important factor affecting the success of a project.Traditional Happiness Chart depends on people's self-report and unable to produce predictive analysis facilitate decision-making.In this paper, we proposed Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) based method for analyzing ASD developers' stability.We designed easy-touse survey questionnaire which can help establish values causal relationship weights support personalization...

Artificial companion agents are defined as hardware or software entities designed to provide companionship a person. The senior population facing special demand for companionship. have been demonstrated be useful in therapy, offering emotional and facilitating socialization. However, there is lack of empirical studies on what the artificial should do how they can communicate with human beings better. To address these functional research problems, we attempt establish model guide designers...

AbstractThe flow and heat exchange of multiple droplets hitting a solid surface, which is closer to reality than single droplets, the main characteristic process in inkjet, chip cooling, or blade ice accumulation. In this study, conventional dynamic contact angle model was modified validated by considering characteristics droplet motion. The simulations are carried out investigate transfer convex concave surfaces double with different curvatures. study explores effects impingement on...
