Both user loyalty and usage efficiency are key factors in developing successful applications, given the wide variety of the market. An affordable and portable monitoring environment for desktop and mobile platforms could fulfill the specific needs of user experience researchers. In this paper we present a system that monitors the physiological signals of the user while using any application installed on the devices. As a result, we are able track the eye movement, ECG and EEG signals, and analyze the combined data provided by these sensors. Results are visualized in a way that user experience experts can follow effortlessly application usage and cognitive processes of the user, which makes it possible to improve even further the user interface to boost productivity and user loyalty, and lower frustration.","PeriodicalId":377891,"journal":{"name":"2015 6th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131732155","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}

With the main goal of improving human-robot interaction, nowadays the great majority of human-robot communication behaviors are implemented on mobile agents, or so called pervasive mobile robots enhanced with complex interaction abilities. However, to choose the adequate hardware and software technologies in order to achieve rapid and efficient advancement in human-computer interactions implementation it looks a difficult and burdening task even for the specialists involved in the topic. Starting from the above observation, the main goal of this paper is to unfold a well-fitted example of mixing last generation hardware resources and software toolkits to implement complex human-like abilities on robotic systems. Besides outlining the advantages and versatility of the chosen technologies the paper also presents research efforts and experimental results regarding symbolic cognitive abilities implementation on a specially developed NI-9631 prototype robot structure. The hardware architecture of this mobile agent has been developed upon a unique robotic configuration designed for human gestures and speech recognition abilities implementation. By using the LabView graphical programming software technology, these modules integrates through specific software drivers various sensor modality including vision and speech signals analyzing. The robot upgraded with the above mentioned capabilities becomes a very flexible and powerful development toolkit for complex human-robot interaction research and highlevel cognitive abilities implementation. In addition, the system also represents a useful platform for a large amount of voice signals and image processing algorithms rapid testing and development, through that the robot displays intelligence and cooperativeness in its behavior.","PeriodicalId":377891,"journal":{"name":"2015 6th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132671980","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 paper also investigates whether information about gestures co-occurring with speech contributes to the automatic prediction of the clause boundary pauses. Since one clause corresponds to one or more semantic units (dialog acts) the pauses investigated mark the start and end of large semantic units. The results of my study indicate that pauses that mark clause boundaries, co-occur with all gesture types in the analyzed corpus. Finally, my automatic prediction experiments show that information about speech tokens preceding the pauses can predict their function as clause boundary markers with high precision and recall, while information about the gestures co-occurring with speech (head movements, facial expressions, and body postures) does not contribute to the prediction.","PeriodicalId":377891,"journal":{"name":"2015 6th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133733427","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}
