In this work we evaluate the performance of two dry contact electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode structures for monitoring the heart rate of domestic pets. The aim was to improve the operation of previously evaluated electrodes with some modifications. First, the thirty-pins of a previously studied polymer electrode with a silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) coating were reduced to 12. Second, a 12-pin gold-plated metal electrode was coated with poly (3,4 - ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS). These electrodes were attached to a specifically designed measurement harness and the performance of the electrodes was evaluated in terms of heartbeat detection coverage. The heart rate coverage was measured during four different behaviors: standing, sitting, lying, and walking (N=27/activity). The results were, in general, comparable to the previously reported performance but having fewer pins on a polymer electrode seemed to cause more variation in the coverage values. However, when measures such as the median value of the coverages are considered, there was no obvious difference, especially when the coverage values were observed altogether. Thus, new electrode solutions are worthy of further research.","PeriodicalId":233211,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121643412","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}

A jump is considered successful (penalty-free) if a horse can comfortably jump the fence without elements of the fence falling down. If any of the elements of the fence falls down or the horse refuses to jump, the rider obtains penalty points or can be disqualified from the competition. An unsuccessful jump can lead to injury and loss in trust of the rider. The success of a jump is determined by the number, length and harmony of strides a horse performs before a fence. We propose a system for tracking horse strides and jumps using a smartphone attached to the horse's saddle. Our system detects and segments individual strides and computes the length of a stride using signal processing and machine learning methods. We collected data from 9 horses who performed several jumps. Our results indicate that our system can detect horse strides with a precision of 96.3%, a recall of 95.7% and a pearson correlation of 0.73 with respect to our ground truth data set. We further describe a method to characterise the canter gait of the horse. Our system is intended to be used by riders to adapt their training and competition strategies to the physical limitations of the horse. The rider can thus prevent accidents due to an overtaxing of the horse or miscalculation of canter strides by the rider.","PeriodicalId":233211,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127720795","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}

Zoo-based enrichment is traditionally low-tech, often failing to maintain animals' long-term interest. Meanwhile, evaluating the intricacies of enrichment device use remains difficult. 'Cognitive' enrichment aims to challenge animals' evolved cognitive skills and ACI shows promise in revolutionizing its practice. We present 'Gorilla Game Lab', a project designing, implementing and evaluating high-tech cognitive enrichment with seven zoo-housed Western lowland gorillas. We study the role of modular, tangible cognitive enrichment, assimilating motivational game design principles, in maintaining engaging, playful interactions. Taking an 'animal-centred' design approach, informed by the gorillas and the humans responsible for their welfare as design contributors, we introduce our rapid prototyping process. We also explore how integrating digital tracking, IoT and open source design, can contribute to creating a world-class method for enhancing zoo animal welfare.","PeriodicalId":233211,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction","volume":"512 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133598916","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}

An explosion of new technologies in Animal-Computer Interaction enable dogs to assist in a variety of scenarios. Dogs can summon emergency services, report finding a lost child, determine what explosive they just detected, alert to a tornado siren, and much more. Giving working dogs the ability to clearly communicate could be life-saving. Related technologies can measure aspects of a dog's behavior to assess temperament, predict training success, and even monitor health. The Georgia Tech Animal-Computer Interaction lab has been researching dog-centered interfaces since 2012. Our studies have included instrumented vests, touchscreens, and devices that provide new ways for dogs to communicate what they perceive to people around them. We have also researched instrumented dog toys for temperament analysis and health monitoring. For the ACI2018 demonstrations, we showcase the technologies we have developed for dogs and the new interactions these technologies enable.","PeriodicalId":233211,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115039203","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}
