Unobtrusively Regulating Children’s Posture via Slow Visual Stimuli on Tablets

Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Daniel Carnieto Tozadore, Chenyang Wang

Children’s retention of a proper body posture while interacting with educational tablet applications is important for both their physical health and task performance. In this work, we propose a new approach to unobtrusively induce postural changes in child ...

Robust Analog Multisensory Array System for Lossy Capacitive Sensors Over Long Distances

Sandro Carrara, Amar Kapic

A robust capacitive multisensory readout system is presented in this article. The system consists of a few thousand lossy capacitive-based sensors that can be modeled as a parallel connection of sensor capacitor and undesirable leakage resistance. The real ...

Extending the Spectrum of Dysgraphia: A Data Driven Strategy to Estimate Handwriting Quality

Pierre Dillenbourg, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn

This paper proposes new ways to assess handwriting, a critical skill in any child’s school journey. Traditionally, a pen and paper test called the BHK test (Concise Evaluation Scale for Children’s Handwriting) is used to assess children’s handwriting in Fr ...

Analysis and Remediation of Handwriting difficulties

Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn

Even with correct training, up to 25% of children never master handwriting like their peers. While research shows a correlation between handwriting difficulties and school failure, these difficulties can also impact children in their self esteem and behavi ...

Taming the viscoelastic creep of dielectric elastomer actuators

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin

We present a simple open-loop method to suppress the viscoelastic drift of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). Viscoelastic creep is one of the drawbacks of DEAs, especially when made with acrylic elastomer membranes (VHB). This leads to a time-dependen ...

Artist-Oriented 3D Character Posing from 2D Strokes

Ronan Boulic, Benoît Le Callennec, Pawan Kumar Harish, Mentar Mahmudi

In this paper we present an intuitive tool suitable for 2D artists using touch-enabled pen tablets. An artist-oriented tool should be easy-to-use, real-time, versatile, and locally refinable. Our approach uses an interactive system for 3D character posing ...

Children’s Peer Assessment and Self-disclosure in the Presence of an Educational Robot

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan, Shruti Chandra

Research in education has long established how children mutually influence and support each other's learning trajectories, eventually leading to the development and widespread use of learning methods based on peer activities. In order to explore children's ...

Can a Child Feel Responsible for Another in the Presence of a Robot in a Collaborative Learning Activity?

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan, Shruti Chandra

In order to explore the impact of integrating a robot as a facilitator in a collaborative activity, we examined interpersonal distancing of children both with a human adult and a robot facilitator. Our scenario involves two children performing a collaborat ...

Self-sensing dielectric elastomer actuators in closed-loop operation

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset

Because of their large output strain, dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have been proposed for tunable optics applications such as tunable gratings. However, the inherent viscoelastic drift of these actuators is an important drawback and closed-loop op ...
