In machine operation systems, getting operation skills is not easy and required learning time. Proposed technique aims at realizing assist system to human skill achievement. However, in previous works, the operator skill is evaluated by tracking error for tracking tasks. In this paper, a new evaluation indexes for human operation skill based on prediction errors by a human model consists of multiple ANNs. The ANNs have input signals of different time series respectively. By observing these prediction errors, we can get how long or what time information is used for input command decision during the task. By some experiments with 20 participants, the distribution of prediction error is change as getting skills and this trend is not depend on the tracking errors.","PeriodicalId":384027,"journal":{"name":"2011 4th International Conference on Human System Interactions, HSI 2011","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129254949","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 few key issues for robot-based leadership is explained. Specifically this paper highlights the importance of robot-based leadership and provides base for emotion-laden leadership by robots, robot leadership advantages and modes of robot leadership. The role of emotion in leadership is extended to robotic applications and possibility of improving robot-based leadership by focusing on emotional attachment is presented. Emotion-laden leadership by robots addresses the core of leadership and that is emotions and feelings among leader and followers. These emotions are the backbone of the influence exerted by leader on followers. Therefore, introduction, exploration and development of Lovotics is important for robot-based leadership to be effective. Various reasons which support the idea of using robots for leadership are explored. These key issues are embodiment, multitasking ability, anthropomorphism, programmability, programmability, deduction, reasoning and problem solving, decision making and planning, learning, imitation, collaboration, adaptability, modularity, believability, repeatability, interactivity and Connectivity. Several modes of robot leadership are explained. Role of humans and robots in robot-based leadership is explored. Admin, crew and factor based configurations are investigated and both centralized and decentralized methods are presented.","PeriodicalId":384027,"journal":{"name":"2011 4th International Conference on Human System Interactions, HSI 2011","volume":"224 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115802936","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}

Our previous researches show that compared with neural networks, the NN-tree can classify given data in a hierarchical structure which has very small system scale can can be applied to many PORTABLE DEVICE applications. However, for text data, the high dimensionality is a serious problem for induction of NNTrees since the system scale may still become too large and each NN spends too much time for training. To solve the problem, we have proposed discriminant multiple center (DMC) method. In this paper, we combined DMC method with comparative advantage (CA) based algorithm together and proposed discriminant comparative advantage based multiple center (DCAMC) method for inducing NNTrees. DCAMC is a two-stage approach, in which all data are first mapped to a lower dimensional space based on the comparative advantage law, and the LDA is then conducted on the mapped space. Experimental results on three popular databases show that DCAMC can produce NNTrees more efficiently than DMC method.","PeriodicalId":384027,"journal":{"name":"2011 4th International Conference on Human System Interactions, HSI 2011","volume":"281 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121018274","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}

Brain activity in the cortex area associated with a mirror neuron was investigated for Japanese and Chinese participants during watching greetings of the robot that mimicked gestures in different country's styles. As a result, difference in the brain activities in two nationalities was found: activation in a primary motor area for the Japanese participant changed greatly when the participants watched the robot gesture with language of the mother country and the native greetings style, but similar tendency was not found for Chinese one.","PeriodicalId":384027,"journal":{"name":"2011 4th International Conference on Human System Interactions, HSI 2011","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121849073","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 bandwidth of thermal control may help a performance investigation of presenting thermal sensation. However, conventional research mainly conducts discrimination experiments of materials, and focuses relatively little on the characteristic analysis of the thermal system. In addition, when the device is driven, nonlinear terms of the device characteristic such as Joule heat is generated, and those make the bandwidth analysis difficult. On the other hand, the author has proposed observer-based temperature and heat inflow control system in the past, in which the nonlinear terms are compensated. This research uses the control systems and measures those frequency responses. The responses are compared with theoretical transfer functions which are derived by block diagrams of control systems. Experimental results show some correspondence with theoretical models, which are expected to be used for analysis of presenting thermal sensation in the future.","PeriodicalId":384027,"journal":{"name":"2011 4th International Conference on Human System Interactions, HSI 2011","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130372802","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 way that set the devices on human to get motions always makes human feel uncomfortable. So, the authors consider using the cameras to get human movements rather than setting the devices on human. After collection the movement data, the data can be classed by the server part to find the motion data. And the motion data can be processed and analyzed to process data mining and find the results. And then, the result can be applied to show information on the mobile device or to use on other purposes.
