  • Autism and New Media: Disability Between Technology and Society
    1 Autism and new media: Disability between technology and society Amit Pinchevski (lead author) Department of Communication and Journalism, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel John Durham Peters Department of Communication Studies, University of Iowa, USA Abstract This paper explores the elective affinities between autism and new media. Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) provides a uniquely apt case for considering the conceptual link between mental disability and media technology. Tracing the history of the disorder through its various media connections and connotations, we propose a narrative of the transition from impaired sociability in person to fluent social media by network. New media introduce new affordances for people with ASD: The Internet provides habitat free of the burdens of face-to-face encounters; high-tech industry fares well with the purported special abilities of those with Asperger’s syndrome; and digital technology offers a rich metaphorical depository for the condition as a whole. Running throughout is a gender bias that brings communication and technology into the fray of biology versus culture. Autism invites us to rethink our assumptions about communication in the digital age, accounting for both the pains and possibilities it entails. 2 Keywords: Autism (ASD), Asperger’s Syndrome, new media, disability studies, interaction and technology, computer-mediated communication, gender and technology Authors’ bios Amit Pinchevski is a senior lecturer in the Department of Communication and Journalism at the Hebrew University, Israel. He is the author of By Way of Interruption: Levinas and the Ethics of Communication (2005) and co-editor of Media Witnessing: Testimony in the Age of Mass Communication (with Paul Frosh, 2009) and Ethics of Media (with Nick Couldry and Mirca Madianou, 2013).

  • Temple Grandin Professeure De Zootechnie Et De Sciences Animales
    TEMPLE GRANDIN PROFESSEURE DE ZOOTECHNIE ET DE SCIENCES ANIMALES Mary Temple Grandin, dite Temple Grandin, née le 29 août 1947 à Boston, est une femme autiste, professeure de zootechnie et de sciences animales à l'université d'État du Colorado, docteure et spécialiste de renommée internationale dans cette même discipline. Elle monte en 1980 une entreprise d’ingénierie et de conseils sur les conditions d'élevage des animaux de rente, qui fait d’elle une experte en conception d'équipements pour le bétail. En 2012, près de la moitié des abattoirs à bovins d'Amérique du Nord sont équipés du matériel qu'elle a conçu ; depuis les années 1980 jusqu'en 2016, elle a collaboré à environ 200 articles de recherche. Temple Grandin a été diagnostiquée avec des « dommages cérébraux » à l'âge de deux ans, et n'a pas parlé avant l'âge de trois ans et demi. Une intervention précoce lui a permis de progresser, de suivre sa scolarité jusqu'en doctorat, puis de vivre de son métier. Elle est également connue pour être la première personne autiste à avoir témoigné de son expérience de vie dans des autobiographies, Ma vie d'autiste en 1986 et Penser en images en 1995. Elle fait régulièrement appel à des techniques de scanographie, qui ont révélé le fonctionnement et la structure particulière de son cerveau spécialisé dans la pensée visuelle, une recherche publiée dans l'ouvrage Dans le cerveau des autistes, en 2013. Elle s’implique pour la défense du bien-être animal, plaidant pour une meilleure prise en compte de la souffrance animale pendant l'élevage et l'abattage, s’opposant en particulier à l'élevage en batterie.

  • 9781534410978 Cg How to Build a Hug.Pdf
    A Curriculum Guide to Temple Grandin and Her Amazing Squeeze Machine How to Build a Hug by Amy Guglielmo and Jacqueline Tourville Illustrated by Giselle Potter HC: 9781534410978 • EB: 9781534410985 Ages 4–8; Grades P–3 • Atheneum BACKGROUND/SUMMARY As a young girl, Temple Grandin liked to design and make things. What she didn’t like were scratchy socks, high- pitched sounds, bright lights, and smelly perfumes. She was very sensitive to sounds, smells, and touch. Being hugged was so upsetting, she even avoided being hugged by her mother. Yet she did want to feel a real hug. She wondered what hugs were supposed to feel like. The solution to Temple’s problem came when she spent the summer at her aunt’s ranch in Arizona. There she saw a mysterious device called a squeeze chute that calmed a young cow by giving it a comforting squeeze. This sight sparked Temple’s idea to design and make her own hugging machine, which she used to comfort herself when she was nervous. By the time the machine finally broke, she found she no longer needed it. “I’m into hugging people now,” she declared. This book introduces readers to the early life of Temple Grandin, a well-known spokesperson for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). By using her abilities to think visually, draw, paint, design, and build things, Temple has pursued a career as an industry consultant, professor of animal science at Colorado State University, and author of ten books and hundreds of articles. As the authors of this book tell us, “Temple’s story is as unique as she is, and the legacy of her hug machine lives on.” It is one of her many accomplishments.

  • The Six Hug Commandments: Design and Evaluation of a Human-Sized Hugging Robot with Visual and Haptic Perception
    The Six Hug Commandments: Design and Evaluation of a Human-Sized Hugging Robot with Visual and Haptic Perception Alexis E. Block Sammy Christen Roger Gassert MPI-IS and ETH Zürich ETH Zürich ETH Zürich Stuttgart, Germany Zürich, Switzerland Zürich, Switzerland Otmar Hilliges Katherine J. Kuchenbecker ETH Zürich MPI for Intelligent Systems Zürich, Switzerland Stuttgart, Germany ABSTRACT Receiving a hug is one of the best ways to feel socially supported, and the lack of social touch can have severe negative effects on an individual’s well-being. Based on previous research both within and outside of HRI, we propose six tenets (“commandments”) of natural and enjoyable robotic hugging: a hugging robot should be soft, be warm, be human sized, visually perceive its user, adjust its embrace to the user’s size and position, and reliably release when the user wants to end the hug. Prior work validated the first two tenets, and the final four are new. We followed all six tenets to create anew robotic platform, HuggieBot 2.0, that has a soft, warm, inflated body (HuggieChest) and uses visual and haptic sensing to deliver closed- loop hugging. We first verified the outward appeal of this platform in comparison to the previous PR2-based HuggieBot 1.0 via an on- line video-watching study involving 117 users. We then conducted an in-person experiment in which 32 users each exchanged eight hugs with HuggieBot 2.0, experiencing all combinations of visual hug initiation, haptic sizing, and haptic releasing. The results show Figure 1: A user hugging HuggieBot 2.0. that adding haptic reactivity definitively improves user perception a hugging robot, largely verifying our four new tenets and illumi- and anxiety, and increase the body’s levels of oxytocin, but it also nating several interesting opportunities for further improvement.
