2. 16. A Representation Scheme for Description and Reconstruction of Object Configurations Based on Qualitative Relations

   Author : Heike Joe Steinhauer; Erik Sandewall; Alexander Klippel; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Qualitative Reasoning; Spatial Reasoning; Cognitive Modeling; Human-Machine Interaction; Coarse Reasoning; Artificial Intelligence; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : One reason Qualitative Spatial Reasoning (QSR) is becoming increasingly important to Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the need for a smooth ‘human-like’ communication between autonomous agents and people. The selected, yet general, task motivating the work presented here is the scenario of an object configuration that has to be described by an observer on the ground using only relational object positions.

4. 17. Neck injuries in rear impacts : Dummy neck development, dummy evaluation and test condition specifications

   Author : Astrid Linder; Chalmers University of Technology; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Neck; Injury; Anthropometric dummy; Severity; Impact test; Rear end collision; Seat; Mathematical model; Velocity; Thesis; Optimization; Mathematical neck models; Rear impact tests; Biomechanics; Road: Components of the vehicle; Road: Components of the vehicle;

   Abstract : The objective of the work underlying this thesis was firstly to develop a neck for a new rear impact dummy, to evaluate the complete dummy and to specify test conditions for a consumer test with attention to AIS 1 neck injuries in rear impacts. In the development of the dummy neck, a mathematical neck model was developed and evaluated. READ MORE

5. 18. A Novel Approach to Teaching Emotional Expression in Music Performance

   Author : Jessika Karlsson; Patrik N. Juslin; Erik Börjesson; Susan Hallam; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; music performance; emotion; expression; feedback; computer-based teaching; music education; Psykologi;

   Abstract : One of the most important aspects of music performance is the expression of emotions, yet research has suggested that this skill is neglected in music education. The aim of this thesis was thus to develop and test a novel and empirically-based approach to teaching emotional expression in music performance. READ MORE

6. 19. Exploring Multidimensional Trust : Shaping Child-Robot Creative Collaborations in Education

   Author : Natalia Calvo Barajas; Ginevra Castellano; Kerstin Fischer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; child-robot interaction; social robots; trust; educational robotics; creativity; children perception of robots; Computer Science with specialization in Human-Computer Interaction; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot människa-datorinteraktion;

   Abstract : As trust plays a pivotal role in maintaining long-term interactions between children and robots, it is vital to comprehend how children conceptualise trust and the factors influencing their trust in robots. This thesis examines the impact of social robots' behaviours and attributes on children's trust, relationship formation, and task performance in collaborative educational scenarios. READ MORE

7. 20. Semantic Mapping with Mobile Robots

   Author : Andrzej Pronobis; Patric Jensfelt; Jim Little; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : After decades of unrealistic predictions and expectations, robots have finally escaped from industrial workplaces and made their way into our homes,offices, museums and other public spaces. These service robots are increasingly present in our environments and many believe that it is in the area ofservice and domestic robotics that we will see the largest growth within thenext few years.
