However, the so-called range anxiety, i.e., the fear that a vehicle has insufficient range to reach its destination, the experience anxiety, i.e.,the fear of the hassle of public charging and the high selling price are still major barriers to a widespread adoption of electric cars. In this paper, we use real-world data from vehicle telematics devices to quantitatively assess whether range anxiety is a justified threat. Specifically, we evaluate the vehicles electrification potential based on their real driving patterns, showing that a significant percentage of traditional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Vehicles could be effortlessly replaced by EVs, without any impact on the owners’ driving habits and with the current public charging infrastructure, only ensuring an overnight recharging.","PeriodicalId":132917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Human-Machine Systems (ICHMS)","volume":"5 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126973508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

W-ROMA may assist the individual for navigational (e.g., grasping a chair and moving it to make path) or non-navigational purpose (e.g, grasping a mug). The device consists of a sensing unit and a guiding unit. The sensing unit uses a Structure Core sensor, comprising of an RGB-D camera and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), to detect the target object and estimate the device pose. Based on the object and pose information, the guiding unit computes the Desired Hand Movement (DHM) and convey it to the user by an electro-tactile display to guide the hand to approach the object. A speech interface is developed and used as an additional way to convey the DHM and used for human-robot interaction. A new method, called Depth Enhanced Visual-Inertial Odometry (DVIO), is proposed for 6-DOF device pose estimation. It tightly couples the camera’s depth and visual data with the IMU data in a graph optimization process to produce more accurate pose estimation than the existing state-of-the-art approach. The estimated poses are used to “stitched” the imaging and point cloud data captured at different points to form a larger view of the scene for object detection. They can also be used to position the individual for wayfinding. Experimental results demonstrate that the DVIO method outperforms the state-of-the-art VIO approach in 6-DOF pose estimation.","PeriodicalId":132917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Human-Machine Systems (ICHMS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130507356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Robots are already programmed to model and predict human actions in order to ensure smooth collaboration and overall task efficiency. However, little is known on how humans represent and account for robot’s actions as part of their own plans. This paper presents a first joint psychological and HRI user study designed to answer this question in the context of human-robot handover scenarios. Our analysis showed that the participants had a positive userexperience of the interaction and adopted gaze patterns similar to a large extent to the ones in human-to-human handover tasks. The EEG analysis suggests that, compared to solo action, the human participants were at a state of higher motor readiness when they prepared to hand over the object to the robot either because they represented the robot’s action in advance or alternatively that they anticipated that passing the object to the robot would be a more effortful action, thus highlighting the increased demands in planning a human-to-robot interaction. Our findings highlight the value of gaze as a positive method of non-verbal communication in HRI and provides new insights in the neural mechanisms that allows a person to plan an effective interaction with a robot.","PeriodicalId":132917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Human-Machine Systems (ICHMS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124926569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In literature, several methods are proposed for learning in a new environment such as selftraining and transfer learning. However, there are yet some issues to learn the new category related to small data for the new category and noise existence. On the other hand, noise-tolerant models have been developed such as the Bayesian Attractor Model (BAM) which is a cognitive model for decision making under uncertainty of information. In this paper, we develop a system to learn the new category automatically by extending the BAM. Using the BAM as a classifier, the system makes the temporal classifier with new observation and collects the training data for the new category. Through the evaluation, we show that our method is superior to the neural network approach in the scenario of learning new categories.","PeriodicalId":132917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Human-Machine Systems (ICHMS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131394748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Robots have to be able to capable of possessing and expose a wide range of cognitive functions, once humans require their help. This paper describes a cognitive architecture for human-robot interaction that allows a robot to dynamically modulate its own level of social autonomy every time a human user delegates to it a task to accomplish in her/his place. The task adoption process leverages on multiple robot’s cognitive capabilities (i.e. the ability to have a theory of mind of the user, to build a model of the world, to profile the user and to make an evaluation about its own skill trustworthiness for building the user’s profile). On the basis of these capabilities the robot is able to adapt its own level of intelligent collaboration by adopting the task at the different levels of help defined in the theory of delegation and adoption conceived by Castelfranchi and Falcone. Besides that, the architecture enhances robot’s behavior transparency because gives to it the ability to provide a comprehensive explanation of the strategy it has adopted for accomplishing the delegated task. We propose an implementation of the cognitive architecture based on JaCaMo framework, which provides support for implementing multi-agent systems and integrates different multi-agent programming dimensions.","PeriodicalId":132917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Human-Machine Systems (ICHMS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114166358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a Wizard-of-Oz design, participants were driven in what appeared to be a fully automated (level 5) vehicle. An analysis of participants’ reactions and verbal utterances revealed six specific sources of discomfort (Vehicle’s speed, Crossing Traffic, Pedestrians, Road Geometry, Road Markings and On-coming Traffic). These discomfort reactions were then cross-referenced to the road events they were associated with. The results suggest that there is a different set of discomfort sources associated with each unique road event. Overall, we identified seven distinct categories of road events that could cover the entire experimental route (Crosswalks, Roundabouts, Straight Intersections, Left-Turns with On-coming Traffic, Left-Turns without On-coming Traffic, Right turns with Right-of-way and Right turns without Right-of-way).
