We apply this feature in the customization of the behaviour of a virtual assistant, which performs distinct \"animations\" depending on the identified user. The results presented in the paper refer mainly to the comparison of a face identification algorithm, Eigenfaces, while performing in various scenarios, without and with the context based approach. The conclusions of this work, point in the direction that clustering the search space by defining constrains based on context features lead to improved performance of the identification algorithm while adding some degree of simple first-order logic to the actions performed afterwards (i.e. the behaviour performed by the virtual assistant).","PeriodicalId":264425,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129830466","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}

Existing research on the recognition of ADL from ambient sensors assumes that the intelligent environment is inhabited by a single-occupant (older adults). However, in the real environment there may be situations in which there is more than one occupant for a time. The focus of this study is to distinguish the number of people in the home environment by employing only PIR sensors in order to identify whether the environment is used by one person or more. In this paper, two different techniques, Fuzzy Entropy (FuzzyEn) and Indoor Mobility (IM), are investigated to distinguish the activities within a multi-occupancy environment. The model is tested and evaluated based on a set of data representing a multi-occupancy environment. The experiment results show that FuzzyEn and IM can detect and identify the existence of a visitor in a home environment with an accuracy of 100% and 98.7%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":264425,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130028050","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}

Integrated interaction can create new experiences and sensors can detect relevant information about the wearer. However, this poses an additional challenge for the designer of smart garments, about how to integrate these technologies. In this work, we want to investigate how human intuition and technical knowledge feed into the design of smart garments. Using a jacket that tracks its whereabouts as a use case, we have collected a dataset from 18 test subjects with varying technical knowledge, on what sensor patterns they would create on the garment. Using a specifically created simulation framework, we have evaluated the performance of the created sensor patterns. We observed that many participants intuitively create well-working patterns, while technical knowledge does not play a significant role in the resulting performance.","PeriodicalId":264425,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129648743","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}

{"title":"Evaluating learning approaches for product assembly: using chunking of instructions, spatial augmented reality and display based work instructions","authors":"E. Wilschut, R. Könemann, Molly S. Murphy, G. V. Rhijn, T. Bosch","doi":"10.1145/3316782.3322750","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3316782.3322750","url":null,"abstract":"Augmented Reality (AR) as an assistive technology is a promising tool for novice operators to learn assembly processes. This experiment compared an AR instruction method to display based electronic working instructions (EWI) for product assembly, to assess learning during the first repetitions of the products. In addition, two types of work instructions were used, i.e., standard and chunk instructions. In this experiment a chunk instruction consists of six assembly steps. Effects of the instruction method and type on the learning phase were evaluated with 24 novice operators building two products i.e.. Operators were then asked to build the same products without instructions in order to assess learned skills and establish effects on the recall phase, also as a result of instruction method and type. Task completion time (TCT), product quality, operator workload and learning curve were measured. The learning curve, as indicated by the TCT, took place during the first three repetitions of product assembly. Instruction method and instruction type had no effect on the learning curve. Product quality was high and no differences were found between learning conditions. Operator workload revealed that chunking of the instruction increased workload during the learning phase. During the recall phase, the AR group's TCT increased 19.2%, but only for the first product's repetition without instruction. Product quality remained the same during the recall phase, however operator workload was reduced for chunk learned products. This study indicates that chunking of instructions should be avoided for novice workers. Both EWI and AR can be used for teaching new assembly procedures. While AR and EWI are useful during the learning phase, there are indications that these methods might hinder the operator once they required the necessary skills and knowledge to assemble the product. A possible solution is making instructions more adaptive to fit the skill proficiency of the operator.","PeriodicalId":264425,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131467333","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}

This raises the question that, if in one hand, offering digital services to older workers sounds like the perfect solution for them to remain active at work for longer and with enhanced quality of life, is it that clear that workers will be willing to be constantly monitored, even if for their own support? This paper will, at first, provide a short overview of the ongoing ethical discussions concerning the work environment and the use of technologies. Next, it will approach the topic of older workers and the introduction of tailor-made digital services to achieve workability sustenance. Special focus will be provided on how to tackle the ethical issues of the introduction of these services with regard to the balance of power between employers and employees at the workplace. In this sense, the main question for this paper will be: \"What is needed to tackle ethical challenges raised by the balance of power at the workplace that may imply on the introduction of digital services to older workers, with the aim to achieve broad acceptance and usage of these services?\" For this purpose, the development of project Smartwork (Horizon 2020) will provide new and relevant data on this subject.","PeriodicalId":264425,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132890859","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}

The flexible production process and many different product variants call for assisting systems to support workers during their assembly tasks. We conducted a Contextual Inquiry in a real-life production environment to find typical problems during assembling products. In our work we use the General Assembly Task Model (GATM) proposed by Funk et al. [13] to identify and assess potential assistance systems in how they can supports each phase of an assembly step. Our analysis revealed that tracking of assembly tasks is very helpful to automatically forward work instructions and to check if intended parts where taken from the Kanban bin and were used in the proposed order. We built in a further step two vision-based low-cost systems, one with Halcon machine vision and one with TensorFlow deep leaning, and one low-cost system based on ultrasound (i.e. Marvelmind) to track assembly tasks. This paper compares the three approaches with the aid of three prototypes, one for visual recognition of assembly parts, one for visual recognition of assembly parts and tools, and one for ultrasound-based tracking of picking assembly parts from a bin. Finally, we discuss selected findings which are relevant for an industrial application setting.","PeriodicalId":264425,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128400135","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}
