The talking robot is constructed with mechanical parts that are made by referring to human vocal organs biologically and functionally. In this study, a newly redesign artificial vocal cord is developed for the purpose of extending the speaking capability of the talking robot. The artificial vocal cord is developed using functional approach. A thin layer of rubber band with a width of 7mm is attached on a plastic body in a sealed chamber creates an artificial sound source. The fundamental frequency of the sound source vary from 80Hz to 280 Hz depending on the pressure to the rubber band and the curving shape of the rubber band. The curving shape of the rubber band is adjustable by an innovative design mechanism driven by a servo motor. The amount of air pressure applied to the rubber band is controlled by another servo motor which is referred as volume motor in this study. The experiment to verify the speak capability of the talking robot with this newly redesigned vocal cord is conducted by letting the robot generating five vowel sounds with difference combination of 20 levels of rubber band shape and 10 levels of air pressure input. The pitch and volume of each sound is extracted to determine the effect of the rubber band shape and the pressure input on the output sound. The result shows that this newly redesigned vocal cord greatly increase the speaking capability of the talking robot, especially its singing performance.","PeriodicalId":355011,"journal":{"name":"2017 10th International Conference on Human System Interactions (HSI)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129532649","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}

Internet started to become popular since the collapse of the Suharto regime in 1998. Until the end, the Internet became a tool used by many college students to perform a political movement. Since then, the Indonesian community began to recognize the internet-based activity. However, the progress of the Internet in Indonesia also has an impact on behavior change for young generation.

Data were acquired in three 5 min. intervals during which a subject was performing certain tasks. The signals were filtered and resampled. The correlation between blood pressure, respiration and pupil dilation was calculated. Results: The measurements were conducted on 12 healthy volunteers. The obtained correlation coefficient was similar for all people and measurement positions. Conclusions: The electronic eyewear like eGlasses can be utilized to measure and process essential vital signs. Although some results are promising, estimating a value of blood pressure or hart rate based on data provided by eye tracking module requires some further studies.","PeriodicalId":355011,"journal":{"name":"2017 10th International Conference on Human System Interactions (HSI)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130343640","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}

Typically, control systems employ human-in-the-loop control for critical decision making and response. These end-users require easy access to accurate, actionable and relevant data to ensure quick and effective decision making. This work presents a framework for creating dynamic visual interfaces for improved situational awareness. The proposed framework determines the relevance of available information pieces and then applies the derived relevance scores to a visualization so that the most relevant and important information are emphasized to the end-users. In the presented work, a priori expert knowledge is encoded in the system through the use of Fuzzy Logic (FL) and the resulting FL inference system assigns scores to information pieces based on system state information and user defined relevance. These scores can then be used to organize and display the relevant data given the current situation and end-user roles. The proposed FL based scoring system was implemented on a real world control system dataset and we demonstrate how the information visualization is dynamically adapted to improve situational awareness. Further, we discuss potential methods the relevance scores can be incorporated into real world visualizations to increase the situational awareness in control systems.","PeriodicalId":355011,"journal":{"name":"2017 10th International Conference on Human System Interactions (HSI)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127863861","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}

It affects the mobility and reduces the productivity of such a person. These two factors can be restored by using prosthetics. However, the complexity of human arm makes restoring its basic functions quite difficult. When the osseointegration and/or targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) are not possible, different modalities can be used to control the prosthesis. In this paper the usability of electromyography (EMG) signals for such a control is evaluated. Method: first, the types of operations performed by the prosthetic arm that could be handled by EMG module were defined. The raw EMG signal, corresponding to the predefined gesture, was acquired from the surface of trapezius muscle. The pattern recognition neural network was trained to classify gestures based on recorded RAW data. Results: The neural network was trained using 56 signals corresponding to performed gestures. Optimal performance was achieved for 29 training cycles. The network was tested using data set of 56 gestures. The designed network was tested on gestures recorded from 10 volunteers. The gestures were correctly classified with nearly 84% accuracy. Conclusions: The EMG analysis is a reliable modality when it comes to hybrid interfaces for control over prosthetic arm.","PeriodicalId":355011,"journal":{"name":"2017 10th International Conference on Human System Interactions (HSI)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123730289","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}
