Human missions on other planets require constructing outposts and infrastructures, one may need to consider relocating such large objects according changes in mission spots. A multi-robot system would be a good option for transportation task because it can carry massive provide better reliability redundancy when compared single robot system. This paper proposes an intelligent decentralized appr...

The fourth industrial revolution is promoting the Operator 4.0 paradigm, originating from a renovated attention towards human factors, growingly involved in design of modern, human-centered processes. New technologies, such as augmented reality or collaborative robotics are thus increasingly studied and progressively applied to solve modern operators’ needs. Human-centered approaches can help i...

In human-robot collaboration (HRC), operators work side by with collaborative robots (cobots), a new type of machines able to function safely on tasks shared humans. Despite the increasing presence cobots in factories, quality experience associated workers HRC is an underexplored topic. This review focused mental workload (MWL) reported interacting cobots, its major sources, and potential solut...

Human action recognition plays a major role in enabling an effective and safe collaboration between humans robots. Considering for example collaborative assembly task, the human worker can use gestures to communicate with robot while exploit recognized actions anticipate next steps process, improving safety overall productivity. In this work, we propose novel framework based on 3D pose estimati...

Style and strategies in EFL learning contexts and the effects of task types were explored to enhance language learning strategies. Using a quantitative pre-test, post-test design and interviews, this study investigated the effects of procedural and declarative learning strategies on EFL learners’ acquisition of English past tense performing narrative tasks. The participants were 396 male and fe...

This project focuses on the development of a language of interaction based on developing an affect space in collaborative sensing environments. The goal is to design a networked semantics of caress, where the interactivity can recognize, understand, and even express non-rational states such as emotion or intention . This suggests the development of qualitative models for data flow and data-arch...
