Mixed Reality Technologies for Novel Forms of Human-Robot Interaction
Dissertation Mixed Reality Technologies for Novel Forms of Human-Robot Interaction Dissertation with the aim of achieving a doctoral degree at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences Dipl.-Inf. Dennis Krupke Human-Computer Interaction and Technical Aspects of Multimodal Systems Department of Informatics Universität Hamburg November 2019 Review Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Frank Steinicke Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Jianwei Zhang Drittgutachter: Prof. Dr. Eva Bittner Vorsitzende der Prüfungskomission: Prof. Dr. Simone Frintrop Datum der Disputation: 17.08.2020 “ My dear Miss Glory, Robots are not people. They are mechanically more perfect than we are, they have an astounding intellectual capacity, but they have no soul.” Karel Capek Abstract Nowadays, robot technology surrounds us and future developments will further increase the frequency of our everyday contacts with robots in our daily life. To enable this, the current forms of human-robot interaction need to evolve. The concept of digital twins seems promising for establishing novel forms of cooperation and communication with robots and for modeling system states. Machine learning is now ready to be applied to a multitude of domains. It has the potential to enhance artificial systems with capabilities, which so far are found in natural intelligent creatures, only. Mixed reality experienced a substantial technological evolution in recent years and future developments of mixed reality devices seem to be promising, as well. Wireless networks will improve significantly in the next years and thus, latency and bandwidth limitations will be no crucial issue anymore. Based on the ongoing technological progress, novel interaction and communication forms with robots become available and their application to real-world scenarios becomes feasible. -

A Transatlantic Study of the Vampire As an Expression of Ideological, Political, and Economic Tensions in Late 19Th and Early 20Th Century Hispanic Short Fiction
BLOOD DISORDERS: A TRANSATLANTIC STUDY OF THE VAMPIRE AS AN EXPRESSION OF IDEOLOGICAL, POLITICAL, AND ECONOMIC TENSIONS IN LATE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURY HISPANIC SHORT FICTION A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Megan L. DeVirgilis December 2018 Examining Committee Members: Hiram Aldarondo, Advisory Chair, Department of Spanish and Portuguese José Manuel Pereiro-Otero, Department of Spanish and Portuguese Víctor Pueyo-Zoco, Department of Spanish and Portuguese Ángel Esteban del Campo, External Member, Department of Spanish Philology, University of Granada, Spain © Copyright 2018 by Megan DeVirgilis All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores vampire logic in Hispanic short fiction of the last decade of the 19th century and first three decades of the 20th century, and is thus a comparative study; not simply between Spanish and Latin American literary production, but also between Hispanic and European literary traditions. As such, this study not only draws attention to how Hispanic authors employed traditional Gothic conventions—and by extension, how Hispanic nations produced “modern” literature—but also to how these authors adapted previous models and therefore deviated from and questioned the European Gothic tradition, and accordingly, established trends and traditions of their own. This study does not pretend to be exhaustive. Even though I mention poetry, plays, and novels from the first appearance of the -

Humanoid robot TOPIO, a humanoid robot, played ping pong at Tokyo International Robot Exhibition (IREX) 2009. A humanoid robot is a robot with its body shape built to resemble that of the human body. A humanoid design might be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of bipedal locomotion, or for other purposes. In general, humanoid robots have a torso, a head, two arms, and two legs, though some forms of humanoid robots may model only part of the body, for example, from the waist up.
