2. 11. Human-Robot Interaction for Semi-Autonomous Assistive Robots : Empirical Studies and an Interaction Concept for Supporting Elderly People at Home

   Author : Marcus Mast; Arne Jönsson; Michael Burmester; Jonas Lundberg; Tony Belpaeme; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Semi-autonomous assistive robots; human-robot interaction; user interface design; teleoperation; telemanipulation; elderly people; global environment maps; stereoscopy; Semi-autonoma robotar; människa-robotinteraktion; gränssnittsdesign; distansstyrning; distansmanipulation; äldre; globala omgivningskartor; stereoskopisk;

   Abstract : The research addresses current shortcomings of autonomous service robots operating in domestic environments by considering the concept of a semi-autonomous robot that would be supported by human remote operators whenever the robot cannot handle a task autonomously. The main research objective was to investigate how to design the human-robot interaction for a robotic system to assist elderly people with physical tasks at home according to this conceptual idea.

4. 12. Brain plasticity and hand function

   Author : Anders Björkman; Malmö Handkirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; traumatologi; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatology; Surgery; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; hand function; nerve injury; brain plasticity; orthopaedics;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of cortical reorganisational changes following experimental deafferentation and peripheral nerve injury and apply the concept of brain plasticity to enhance sensory re-education following peripheral nerve injury and repair in the hand. In the first two papers the effects on hand function of contralateral deafferentation was investigated. READ MORE

5. 13. Perpetual borders : German-Polish cross-border contacts in the Szczecin area

   Author : Péter Balogh; Gunnel Forsberg; Thomas Lundén; James W. Scott; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; cross-border regional development; Polish-German border; Szczecin; national identities; border attitudes; the Other; kulturgeografi; Human Geography; Östersjö- och Östeuropaforskning;

   Abstract : Borderlands are often peripheral geographically, administratively, and economically. A particularly illustrative case is the Szczecin area at the border between Poland and Germany, where a large city on one side neighbours to a sparsely populated hinterland on the other. READ MORE

6. 14. Pastoralists and the Environmental State : A study of ecological resettlement in Inner Mongolia, China

   Author : Qian Zhang; Bo Malmberg; Andrew Byerley; Richard Black; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Environmentalisation; political ecology; grassland degradation; migration decision-making; pastoralism; environmental migration; environmental governance; China; Geography with Emphasis on Human Geography; geografi med kulturgeografisk inriktning;

   Abstract : China's quest for sustainable development has given birth to a set of contested ‘ecological construction’ programmes. Focusing on ‘ecological resettlement’, a type of policy measure in a programme for restoring degraded grasslands, this thesis sets out a critical analysis in opposition to the dominant technical and managerial approaches to understanding environmentalisation.

7. 15. Multimodal Human-Robot Collaboration in Assembly

   Author : Sichao Liu; Lihui Wang; Gunnar Bolmsjö; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robotics; Assembly; Human-robot collaboration; Multimodal control; Function block; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

   Abstract : Human-robot collaboration (HRC) envisioned for factories of the future would require close physical collaboration between humans and robots in safe and shared working environments with enhanced efficiency and flexibility. The PhD study aims for multimodal human-robot collaboration in assembly. READ MORE
