Human problem solving: Beyond Newell et al.'s (1958) Elements of a theory of human problem solving
(SAGE Publications, 2015) -
Human Psychophysical Functions, an Update : Methods for Identifying their form; Estimating their Parameters; and Evaluating the Effects of Important Predictors
(2016-03-01)Stevens' power law for the judgments of sensation has a long history in psychology and is used in many psychophysical investigations of the effects of predictors such as group or condition. Stevens' formulation (Formula ... -
Human responses to an expressive robot
(Lund University, 2006)This paper reports the results of the first study comparing subjects’ responses to robotic emotional facial displays and human emotional facial displays. It describes step by step the building of believable emotional ... -
Human shape recognition from snakes using neural networks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1999)This paper documents experiments which have been carried out with several neural network systems designed to categorise pedestrian shapes from non-pedestrian shapes. Active Contour models (‘Snakes’) [1] have been used to ... -
Human skeletal muscle derived microvesicles induce apoptosis in highly metastatic prostate cancer cells
(2012-09-13)The human skeletal muscle is a highly vascularised tissue that contributes approximately 40% of the total body mass. These two factors make it a prime target for secondary cancer metastases. Surprisingly, malignant cancers ... -
Human skin absorption of bis-2-(chloroethyl)sulphide (sulphur mustard) in vitro
(2000)The purpose of this study was to measure the absorption and intra-epidermal fate of S-35-radiolabelled sulphur mustard ((SM)-S-35) in human breast skin in vitro. Skin (full-thickness or heat-separated epidermis) was placed ... -
Human to robot demonstrations of routine home tasks: exploring the role of the robot's feedback
(2008)In this paper, we explore some conceptual issues, relevant for the design of robotic systems aimed at interacting with humans in domestic environments. More specifically, we study the role of the robot's feedback (positive ... -
Human to Robot Demonstrations of Routine Home Tasks:Acknowledgment and Response to the Robot’s Feedback
(The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2009)This paper investigates the possible role of the robot’s feedback in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) from the human perspective, and attempts to highlight some important conceptual and practical issues such as the lack of ... -
Human uraemic serum displays calcific potential in vitro that increases with advancing chronic kidney disease
(2013-03)Vascular calcification strongly correlates with declining renal function and contributes to the high morbidity and mortality of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is closely regulated by circulating factors but ... -
Human-Centered Design and Co-design Methodologies for Mass Customization in Housing: A Case Study Using Cloud Computing Applications.
(Springer Nature, 2021-11-01)This research paper presents Turing: an innovative tool that approaches mass-housing design and demonstrates how cloud computing and generative design can be conjointly used via an accessible webbased application to achieve ... -
Human-centred design methods : developing scenarios for robot assisted play informed by user panels and field trials
(2010)This article describes the user-centred development of play scenarios for robot assisted play, as part of the multidisciplinary IROMEC1 project that develops a novel robotic toy for children with special needs. The project ... -
Human-Machine Collaboration in the Teaching of Proof
(2023-02-02)This paper argues that interactive theorem provers (ITPs) could play an important role in fostering students’ appreciation and understanding of proof and of mathematics in general. It shows that the ITP Lean has three ... -
Human-robot interaction as a model for autism therapy : an experimental study with children with autism
(MIT Press, 2007)Human-robot interaction is a quickly growing area of research. While most projects deal with typically developing subjects, the particular study that we report on in this chapter investigates interactions of children with ... -
A Humanoid Robot as Assistive Technology for Encouraging Social Interaction Skills in Children with Autism
(University of Hertfordshire, 2005-07)Interactive robots, virtual environments and other computer based technologies are increasingly applied in rehabilitation therapy and education. The research presented in this thesis investigates the potential use of a ... -

Humans' Perception of a Robot Moving Using a Slow in and Slow Out Velocity Profile
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-03-25)Humans need to understand and trust the robots they are working with. We hypothesize that how a robot moves can impact people’s perception and their trust. We present a methodology for a study to explore people’s perception ... -
