The app allows people to record and upload videos, demonstrating ideas that could help people with autism in daily life. These videos were collected on a private video channel called VIMEO, with examples shared on the ASCMEI.T. web-site to encourage wider participation with the app. Subsequently, the collated ideas were evaluated by researchers for novelty and potential value for people with autism and it is envisaged that one of the ideas would be suitable for a kick starter fund raising project to run later this year. Currently an analysis of the submissions is being carried out to identify whether or not existing products are actually already available.","PeriodicalId":359504,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128565983","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 advantages of the Microsoft Kinect and similar devices have motivated researchers to focus on how to leverage the capabilities of motion capture technology to provide therapists with new tools for therapy sessions. Although the Kinect seems to be an affordable, convenient and therapeutic solution, more investigation is required to confirm its accuracy. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of the Kinect to capture the trajectory of the hand in different exercises by comparing it to the trajectory of the same movement recorded by the Proficio robotic arm. The arm provides us with accurate values for the position of the hand during the exercise which serves as a ground truth for the comparison. In our experiment, we trained the Proficio with different exercises and captured the trajectories from the Kinect in different backgrounds and relative orientations between them. Our results show acceptable error in trajectories obtained from the Kinect. We also observed dependence on the margin of the error on the relative position between the Kinect and the Proficio and the direction of the exercise motion.","PeriodicalId":359504,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130596387","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 this paper, a voice command system is developed to control a UAV and a vision-based approach system controls the UGV in a lead-follower formation to enhance human-robot teams for military defence and rescue missions in urban areas. The proposed voice control framework is executed using open source interface, Robot Operating System (ROS), for aerial vehicle communication supported by spoken dialogues using a wireless microphone, while the UGV detects and tracks a target image captured by the on board low-cost camera from the height of the UAV, using the proposed vision-based approach. The lead-follower formation is based on communication and visibility between the UAV and UGV in a given environment. In addition, a speech recognition module translates voice input to text and the published text is then mapped to the control input of the UAV in order to execute corresponding voice commands. The relative distance and position between the UAV and UGV is estimated from the image received via laptop. UGVs and UAVs have sophisticated design features such as network device communication, navigation, vision sensors and obstacle detection sensors. The UAV is a quad-copter that leads the UGV to accessible areas, while the UGV plays the role of the follower with wheel activators to track and locate the target image on the UAV, given a defined geographic path. The joint behavioural control system of the proposed voice command and vision-based approach is verified by experimental setups that show the UAV has a high voice recognition response and the UGV autonomously tracks the moving UAV in real time operation. As a consequence of the experimental tests, it is expected that the voice control system and vision-based approach developed play an important role in future combat fields.","PeriodicalId":359504,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133119206","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}

These assistive systems mostly use visual feedback for providing assembly instructions or hinting at errors. However, a red light indicating an error might not always be the best solution for communicating that an error was made, or might be overlooked in stressful situations. Therefore, we extended an assitsive system to compare haptic, auditory, and visual error feedback at the manual assembly workplace. Through two user studies, we first determine suitable variants for each error feedback modality and second compare the error feedback modalities against each other. The results show that haptic feedback is appropriate for retaining the worker's privacy, and auditory feedback is perceived as most distracting. The subjective feedback reveals interesting insights for future research in communicating errors as a combination of haptic and visual feedback might lead to noticing an error faster.","PeriodicalId":359504,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129579982","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}

Recent studies with Alzheimer's patients suggest that this type of technology, using verbal cues, can help them to complete more steps in the accomplishment of a task by themselves [2]. A recent review of literature on the assistance technology to help people in daily activities revealed a massive use of the verbal cues [3]. However, the verbal cues can be less adapted and efficient for people suffering Alzheimer's disease if their verbal episodic memory is affected. Only few authors compared the verbal cue with other type of cues for people suffering Alzheimer's disease. However, those authors demonstrated a slight difference in favor of video cues [1-8]. In an effort to contribute solving this important issue, we tried to test the efficacy of different type of effectors (verbal or video cues) in realizing a task considered to be an activity of daily life, with people suffering Alzheimer's disease.","PeriodicalId":359504,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121195608","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 the cases of neurological conditions and chronic pain management, SCP is of particular interest during the early diagnostic process as well as an aid in personalizing intervention strategies. In this paper, we outline a framework based on SCP, to design machine learning systems that completely bypass the pitfalls of using normed neurophysiological states for diagnostics.
