Realistic planning systems must allow users and computer systems to cooperate and work together using a “mixed initiative” style. Black box or fully automated solutions are not acceptable in many situations. Studies of expert human problem solvers in stressful or critical situations show that they share many of the problem solving methods employed by hierarchical planning methods studied in Art...

Along with its potential contributions to the practice of care, social assistive robotics raises significant ethical issues. The growing development this technoscientific field intelligent has thus triggered a widespread proliferation attention towards disruptive potential. However, current landscape debate is fragmented and conceptually disordered, endangering ethics’ practical strength for no...

This study tested the importance of F0 variation for tone language comprehension. The intelligibility of Mandarin sentences with natural F0 contours was compared to the intelligibility of monotone (flat-F0) sentences created via speech resynthesis. In a quiet background, flat-F0 speech was just as intelligible as natural speech (about 94% intelligible), highlighting the robustness of the langua...
