    Designing transparent display experience through the use of kinetic interaction A Master’s Thesis by Interaction Design Master’s Programme Rafael Rybczyński School of Arts and Communication (K3) Malmö University, Sweden August 2017 MSwedenugust 2017 Designing transparent display experience through the use of kinetic interaction Interaction Design Master’s Programme School of Arts and Communication (K3) Malmö University, Sweden August 2017 Author: Rafael Rybczyński Supervisor: Susan Kozel Examiner: Clint Heyer Thesis Project I 15 credits 2017 Acknowledgements Over the lengths of this thesis project I have received support and encouragement from a many people. First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor Susan Kozel for advising me to trust my own instinct. Moreover I would like humbly to thank all the participants without whom this project would not have been possible. Also humbly I thank Alvar, Sanna, and Susanne for shelter and feedback. For proofreading my thanks goes to Jan Felix Rybczyński and Sanna Minkkinen. Finally, my deepest gratitude is reserved to my father Dr. med. Jerzy Antoni Rybczyński. Rest in peace. I would have wished for you reading this paper. Author’s notes Often during the process of doing this study I was asked why transparent displays. What’s the point? Probably I would say this goes way back to my childhood when enjoying my father reading novel stories to us as good night stories. A good example of great stories was Scheerbart’s utopian architectural vision The Gray Cloth who told about the great Swiss architect who traveled by an airship. Wherever he went, he designed buildings made from brightly colored glass, including the roof.

  • Swarm Robotics Applications Using Argos and Mavproxy |
    WHITE PAPER Autonomous Swarms in Active Services Abstract Robotics has evolved across multiple industry segments, from manufacturing to advanced technology, surveillance, and disaster management. Typically, robotics-driven processes are characterized by a set of pre-defined requirements and operations, carried out by individual robots (bots), and performed at an accelerated pace. However, collective decision making by autonomous intelligent robots, leveraging the concepts of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), is becoming increasingly important for agile operations. Technological advances have helped realize swarm operations, in which autonomous bots work in a coordinated manner to effectively execute tasks. In this paper, we propose the approach, design, and implementation of a robot swarm ecosystem that enables: n Active servicing: Collective decision making and execution to solve problems n Collaboration: Automated swarm response to priority services, without external directives n Automaticity: Leveraging blockchain for real- time processing of services being advertised as well as exchange of information WHITE PAPER Autonomous Swarms: Current Trends and Challenges The robotics landscape is rapidly evolving, with bots already being deployed for enterprise operations, commercial purposes, home automation and industrial applications. Robot swarms are being leveraged across segments including retail, travel, healthcare, manufacturing and semiconductors, for a variety of use cases. These swarms are being enabled with the autonomy to operate independently once a preset task or a passive service is assigned, leading to an evolved ecosystem of autonomous nodes or swarms. However, autonomous nodes/swarms executing passive services have two specific failure points. One is central management and the other is a non-configurable preset task. De-centralized management is a viable option, but it only scales down the risk and does not eliminate the point of failure.

  • Smart Dust Technology
    250, Mini-Project Report Amy Haas Smart Dust Technology Smart dust is an emerging technology with a huge potential for becoming an internationally successful commercial venture. Now is the best time to invest in smart dust – right at the point at which the scientific community is close to perfecting the technology and its applications but its potential has not yet been realized by the capitalist market. Fundamental Concept Smart dust is a theoretical concept of a tiny wireless sensor network, made up of microelectromechanical sensors (called MEMS), robots, or devices, usually referred to as motes, that have self-contained sensing, computation, communication and power1. According to the smart dust project design created by a team of UC Berkeley researchers2, within each of these motes is an integrated package of “MEMS sensors, a semiconductor laser diode and MEMS beam-steering mirror for active optical transmission, a MEMS corner-cube retroreflector for passive optical transmission, an optical receiver, signalprocessing and control circuitry, and a power source based on thick-film batteries and solar cells.” The intent is that these motes will eventually become the size of a grain of sand or a dust particle, hence the name “smart dust”, but the technology still has a long way to go to achieve its target size. In current sensor technology, the sensors are about the size of a bottle cap or small coin. As with most electronic devices or technologies, the biggest challenges in achieving actual smart dust are the power consumption issues and making the batteries small enough. Although there is a lot of work being done on solar cells to keep the motes self-sustaining, the components are just not small enough yet to actually be considered smart dust.

  • Supporting Mobile Swarm Robotics in Low Power and Lossy Sensor Networks 1 Introduction
    1 Supporting Mobile Swarm Robotics in Low Power and Lossy Sensor Networks Kevin Andrea [email protected] Robert Simon [email protected] Sean Luke [email protected] Department of Computer Science George Mason University 4400 University Drive MSN 4A5 Fairfax, VA 22030 USA Summary Wireless low-power and lossy networks (LLNs) are a key enabling technology for the deployment of massively scaled self-organizing sensor swarm systems. Supporting applications such as providing human users situational awareness across large areas requires that swarm-friendly LLNs effectively support communication between embedded and mobile devices, such as autonomous robots. The reason for this is that large scale embedded sensor applications such as unattended ground sensing systems typically do not have full end-to-end connectivity, but suffer frequent communication partitions. Further, it is desirable for many tactical applications to offload tasks to mobile robots. Despite the importance of support this communication pattern, there has been relatively little work in designing and evaluating LLN-friendly protocols capable of supporting such interactions. This paper addresses the above problem by describing the design, implementation, and evaluation of the MoRoMi system. MoRoMi stands for Mobile Robotic MultI-sink. It is intended to support autonomous mobile robots that interact with embedded sensor swarms engaged in activities such as cooperative target observation, collective map building, and ant foraging. These activities benefit if the swarm can dynamically interact with embedded sensing and actuator systems that provide both local environmental or positional information and an ad-hoc communication system. Our paper quantifies the performance levels that can be expected using current swarm and LLN technologies.

  • Android Based Home Automation and Energy
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON SMART SENSING AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS SPECIAL ISSUE, SEPTEMBER 2017 ANDROID BASED HOME AUTOMATION AND ENERGY CONSERVATION 1*M.Anto Bennet, 2B.Thamilvalluvan,2C.A.Hema Priya,2 B.Bhavani,2M.Shalini 1 Faculty of Electronics and Communication Department, vel tech, Chennai, India. 2 UG Students of Electronics and Communication Department, vel tech , Chennai, India. Email:[email protected] Submitted: May 27, 2017 Accepted: June 15, 2017 Published: Sep 1, 2017 Abstract- Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of three main components: nodes, gateways, and software. The spatially distributed measurement nodes interface with sensors to monitor assets or their environment. In a WSN network the devices are connected to WSN nodes wherein the entire nodes uses Zigbee network to transfer the status of connected applications to a controller which controls the whole applications but the main drawback of Wireless sensor networks is its high interference, low coverage area and ability to control only low power devices. In order to overcome these drawbacks Android equipped devices are used to control the applications over GPRS network. Android equipped devices allow the user to control various applications over wireless networks. Being an open sourced platform it allows the user to design a custom module which controls the home applications by connecting the android equipped device and its corresponding home applications to an MCU wherein it uses relay circuits to connect the entire applications using GPRS network to connect the application controller and the android device. These devices can be used to control industrial applications, home applications like light, fan etc., and thereby conserving electricity.

  • Home Automation Planning Guide for Individuals with Autism
    HOME AUTOMATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM WRITTEN BY A.J. PARON-WILDES WHY HOME AUTOMATION? When caring for an individual with autism, many needs must be addressed, and even the best caregiver can miss something or not see an incident coming. Home automation can offer protective solutions that support and elevate human care. The most important thing to remember when designing for individuals with autism is that they do not experience the designed environment in the same way others do. They can have increased sensitivities that evoke strong reactions to environmental stimuli. Color, lighting, sounds, and smells all can trigger extreme responses. Having an understanding that many people with autism have either hypo or hyper sensory issues will help you design an environment that can foster increased independence and confidence. Below I outline four main areas of consideration when starting a new design project or retrofitting a home to aid a person with autism. SAFETY The number-one priority for families with an autistic child is safety. Many of us do not understand the inherit dangers of our built environment and the impact it can have on those with autism. Daily challenges can range from possible elopement—kids walking out the front door—to an inadequate understanding of systems and appliances—how does the stove turn on and off? Then, as children get older, safety concerns shift. Instead of preventing the child from leaving the house, you monitor if and when they get in: Did they get off the bus and make it in the house independently? Can you see if a stranger is at the front door? Many children with autism have a hard time with speech, or have no speech, so communicating on the phone is not effective.

  • That Which Does Not Stabilize, Will Only Make Us Stronger
    That which does not stabilize, will only make us stronger. H. Kazerooni, R. Steger Department of Mechanical Engineering University of California, Berkeley Berkeley, CA 94720, USA [email protected] Abstract − The Berkeley Lower Extremity Exoskeleton (BLEEX) is a load-carrying and energetically autonomous human exoskeleton that, in this first generation prototype, carries up to a 34 kg (75 lb) payload for the pilot and allows the pilot to walk at up to 1.3 m/s (2.9 mph). This article focuses on the human-in-the-loop control scheme and the novel ring-based networked control architecture (ExoNET) that together enable BLEEX to support payload while safely moving in concert with the human pilot. The BLEEX sensitivity amplification control algorithm proposed here increases the closed loop system sensitivity to its wearer’s forces and torques without any measurement from the wearer (such as force, position, or electromyogram signal). The tradeoffs between not having sensors to measure human variables, the need for dynamic model accuracy, and robustness to parameter uncertainty are described. ExoNET provides the physical network on which the BLEEX control algorithm runs. The ExoNET control network guarantees strict determinism, optimized data transfer for small data sizes, and flexibility in configuration. Its features and application on BLEEX are described. I. INTRODUCTION The goal of the exoskeleton project at U.C. Berkeley is to develop fundamental technologies associated with the design and control of energetically autonomous lower extremity exoskeletons that augment human strength and endurance during locomotion. The first generation lower extremity exoskeleton (commonly referred to as BLEEX) is comprised of two powered anthropomorphic legs, a power unit, and a backpack-like frame on which a variety of heavy loads can be mounted.
