A user friendly robot architecture for re-ablement and co-learning in a sensorised home
(IOS Press, 2013)To meet the needs of an ever ageing population it has been proposed that assitive technology might provide aid and support for elderly people and allow them to reside for longer in their own homes. Such proposals face many ... -
User interface design and computer music systems
(University of Hertfordshire, 1995)This report describes preliminary work carried out as part of a PhD research project into the design of user interfaces for computer music systems (incorporating software synthesis systems). It describes some of the features ... -
User involvement in the development of a health promotion technology for older people: findings from the SWISH project
(2010)Successive English government policies about older people's health and well-being aim to improve health and quality of life by promoting independence. Improving access to information and services that can improve health ... -
User Preference and Performance with UML Interaction Diagrams
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004)During the requirements process it is of key importance that all representations used are clearly understood by those who must use them. Therefore it is essential to ensure that those representations are presented as ... -
A User study on visualization of agent migration between two companion robots
(2009)In order to provide continuous user assistance in different physical situations and circumstances, it is desirable that an agent can maintain its identity as it migrates between different physical embodiments. A user study ... -
A User-centred Design and Feasibility Analysis of the WiGlove - A Home-based Rehabilitation Device for Hand and Wrist Therapy after Stroke
(2023-04-28)Abstract—Stroke survivors often experience deficits in their hand’s motor function, which can greatly impact their ability to perform Activities of Daily Life (ADL). Home-based rehabilitation with robotic devices has been ... -
User-defined semantics for the design of IoT systems enabling smart interactive experiences
(2020-09-26)Automation in computing systems has always been considered a valuable solution to unburden the user. Internet of Things (IoT) technology best suits automation in different domains, such as home automation, retail, industry, ... -
User-generated content about brands : understanding its creators and consumers
(2016-01-31)This consumer research study investigates the meanings behind creating and consuming user-generated content (UGC) about brands. It touches on the broader issues of the lives of persons, rather than consumers. We discuss ... -
Using a decision support systems computer simulation model to examine HIV and tuberculosis : the Russian Federation
(2009)The aim of this paper is to describe the development and use of a computer simulation model that can be used as a Decision Support System (DSS) to tackle the critical public health issues of HIV and HIV-related tuberculosis ... -
Using a Humanoid Robot to Elicit Body Awareness and Appropriate Physical Interaction in Children with Autism
(2015-04-01)In this article we describe a human–robot interaction study, focusing on tactile aspects of interaction, in which children with autism interacted with the child-like humanoid robot KASPAR. KASPAR was equipped with touch ... -
Using a Managed Learning Environment in Higher Education: the students' views
(Hawaii International Conference on Education, 2005)The Dearing Report (NCEHE, 1997: 13.1), called for the effective use of information technology in learning and teaching in higher Education, suggesting that it, ‘… holds out much promise for improving the quality, flexibility ... -
Using a neural net to determine the language in which a text is written
(University of Hertfordshire, 1995)There are statistical patterns of letter sequences in natural language, and different languages have different characteristic patterns. This effect can be used to determine in which language a text is written. The patterns ... -
Using a resource limited instruction scheduler to evaluate the iHARP processor
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)RISC processors have approached an execution rate of one instruction per cycle by using pipelining to speed up execution. However, to achieve an execution rate of more than one instruction per cycle, processors must issue ... -
Using a simulated environment to investigate experiences reported during space travel
(2014)Astronauts report certain experiences that can be classified as awe and wonder when looking out of their space station or shuttle portals at two different stimuli: the earth and deep space. Based on these reports, it was ... -
Using a SOFM to learn Object Affordances
(University of Edinburgh, 2004)Learning affordances can be defined as learning action potentials, i.e., learning that an object exhibiting certain regularities offers the possibility of performing a particular action. We propose a method to endow an ... -
Using a teacher knowledge framework to connect teaching practice with theory
(2022-10-14)The process Shulman described as ‘teacher-knowledge growth’ is complex, particularly for student teachers. This article presents an ‘Eraut-Shulman teacher knowledge framework’ that provides a structure and language to use ...
