Haptics based collaborative steering control in automated driving environments

A vehicle's steering is a particular system in that it is exposed to individual subjective reviews based on criteria that are hard to assess quantitatively. Haptic design of such systems is a prime concern that has been at the center of industrial developm ...

Focus on People: Five Qestions from Human-Centered Computing

Daniel Gatica-Perez

A substantial body of research in multimodal interaction has studied how people naturally interact -face-to-face and through machinesand developed technology to analyze, support, and extend such forms of interaction. The talk will share personal experience ...

Cyclic thermomechanical behaviour of pile-soil interface and design methods for energy pile foundations

Elena Ravera

Energy piles are shallow geothermal systems integrated into structures already required for structural functions of civil works that provide both geothermal energy supply and structural support to the built environments. This research work is driven by the ...

Being Part of the Swarm: Experiencing Human-Swarm Interaction with VR and Tangible Robots

Pierre Dillenbourg, Arzu Güneysu Özgür, Kevin Gonyop Kim, Hala Khodr, Barbara Bruno

A swarm is the coherent behavior that emerges ubiquitously fromsimple interaction rules between self-organized agents. Understand-ing swarms is of utmost importance in many disciplines and jobs,but hard to teach due to the elusive nature of the phenomenon, ...

Analysis of the interaction factor method for energy pile groups with slab

Lyesse Laloui, Melis Sütman, Elena Ravera

The design of energy pile is hampered by the complex interaction between the piles and the slab subjected to thermal loads. Although finite element analysis is used to account explicitly for the interactions, this method is mainly considered as a research ...

Analysis of the vertical displacement of energy pile groups

Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria

Over the last fifty years, the interaction factor method has been widely used to address the vertical displacement and the increased deformation of conventional pile groups subjected to mechanical loads when group effects and interactions occur among the p ...

Serviceability assessment of energy pile groups through design charts

Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria

The estimation of the vertical displacement of energy pile groups subjected to thermal (and mechanical) loads is needed for a complete geotechnical and structural design of the piles in situations where these foundations may be located sufficiently close t ...

The interaction factor method for energy pile groups

Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria

Prior to this study, no simplified yet rational methods were available for estimating the vertical displacements of energy pile groups subjected to thermal loads. Observing such a challenge, the goal of this study has been threefold: (i) to extend the inte ...

Social Interface and Interaction Design for Group Recommender Systems

Yu Chen

Group recommender systems suggest items of interest to a group of people. Traditionally, group recommenders provide recommendations by aggregation the group membersâ preferences. Nowadays, there is a trend of decentralized group recommendation process th ...

Remote-evaluation of user interaction with WebGIS

François Golay, Jens Ingensand

In this paper we propose a framework that characterizes user interaction with webGIS. Furthermore we present a technique to remotely test and evaluate such systems. Our framework does not only include parameters describing the usability of a system, but re ...

User interaction with online geospatial systems

Jens Ingensand

User interaction with online geospatial systems is an inter-disciplinary research field that combines the two disciplines Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and geographic information sciences. In recent years online geospatial systems have been created for ...

Design of multimodal dialogue-based systems

Miroslav Melichar

Multimodal dialogue systems integrate advanced (often spoken) language technologies within human-computer interaction methods. Such complex systems cannot be designed without extensive human expertise and systematic design guidelines taking into account th ...

Active: a unified platform for building intelligent applications

Computers have become affordable, small, omnipresent and are often connected to the Internet. However, despite the availability of such rich environments, user interfaces have not been adapted to fully leverage their potential. In our view, user interfaces ...

M/ORIS - Medical / Operating Room Interaction System

Sébastien Grange

The routine use of Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) in a wide range of surgical procedures and specialties is being hindered by the lack of suitable user interface for surgical environments. While many computer techniques and software exist to assist surgeo ...

Two-handed gestures for human-computer interaction

Agnès Just

The present thesis is concerned with the development and evaluation (in terms of accuracy and utility) of systems using hand postures and hand gestures for enhanced Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In our case, these systems are based on vision techniques ...

Error-related EEG potentials in brain-computer interfaces

Pierre Ferrez, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz

People with severe motor disabilities (spinal cord injury (SCI), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), etc.) but with intact brain functions are somehow prisoners of their own body. They need alternative ways of communication and control to interact with th ...
