We use experimental methods to investigate whether pledges of commitment can improve cooperation in endogenously-formed partnerships facing a social dilemma. Treatments vary in terms of the individual’s: (1) opportunity to commit to their partner; (2) the cost of dissolving committed partnerships; and (3) the distribution of these dissolution costs between partners. Our findings show that pledg...

This paper introduces a new approach to the control of robot manipulators in a way that is safe for humans in the robot's workspace. Conceptually the robot is viewed as a tool with limited autonomy. The limited perception capabilities of automatic systems prohibits the construction of failsafe robots with the capabilities of people. Instead, the goal of our control scheme is to make the interac...

For path planning of the mobile robot in dynamic environment, this paper proposed an approach to safe path planning based on compact maps. This algorithm utilizes an efficient stream decimation algorithm of massive mesh to build compact maps of the environment models. And it uses a knowledge based genetic algorithm to find the global optimal safe path. The fitness of the algorithm is linear wit...

In this paper, fuzzy set theory and multi-sensor data fusion technology are combined and applied in the safety monitoring of the storage environment, this paper establishes the sensor information fusion model and colligate incomplete information collected by multiple sensors, and eliminating the possible redundant and contradictory information among the multi sensor. After the analysis and proc...

This study examines the relationships between components of organizational safety climate, including employee attitudes to organizational safety issues; perceptions of the physical working environment, and evaluations of worker engagement with safety issues; and relates these to self-reported levels of safety behavior. It attempts to explore the relationships between these variables in 1189 wor...

Introduction: Tonsillectomy is one of the most common procedures performed by Ear, Nose, and Throat surgeon.  Usually, the procedure is carried out as an inpatient surgery. With the increasing need to reduce healthcare costs, spare precious hospital beds, and shorten elective surgery lists, there is currently a trend towards performing tonsillectomy on a daycare basis.  Materials and Methods: A...

Internet of Things (IoT) technologies serve as a backbone cutting-edge intelligent systems. Machine Learning (ML) paradigms have been adopted within IoT environments to exploit their capabilities mine complex patterns. Despite the reported promising results, ML-based solutions exhibit several security vulnerabilities and threats. Specifically, Adversarial (AML) attacks can drastically impact pe...
