They offer high dynamic capabilities combined with high accuracy and stiffness. There are a lot of performance criteria which have to be taken into account and which are pose dependent. The main idea of this paper is to present the fundamentals for a performance evaluation of the 3 DOF Delta parallel robot. Therefore we discuss a large number of performance criteria dealing with workspace, quality transmission, manipulability, dexterity and stiffness.","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":"129530649","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 essence of this case study is to show how information about the worker's individual physical activity can be presented online in a comprehensive way together with the actual portal information. This allows not only the employee, but also therapists and health consultants to analyze physical activity and rest periods during the work in conjunction with the corresponding work description. The purpose of our case study is to promote physical activity as a key employee health management strategy. And for this, our results show that even with low cost and little technical effort, current mobile and web technologies can simplify the acquisition of sensor data and the integration into existing systems. We want to motivate especially small and middle-sized companies to consider the integration of physical-activity monitoring to preserve the health and well-being of their employees. Promoting the employees health is an investment in the company's human capital and can reduce the risk of i.e. Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. In opposite to large enterprises where health-management has been well established, small companies can often not effort the cost for enterprise health and prevention management systems and the implementation by specialists. We have developed a lightweight Web API that provides easy access to the physical-activity data and function for visualization. We demonstrate how the API is applied together with the employee portal.","PeriodicalId":384027,"journal":{"name":"2011 4th International Conference on Human System Interactions, HSI 2011","volume":"51 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":"115659078","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}

A feature of the platform is that the pseudo PUSH communication of RSNP makes it possible for service providers to implement and deploy secure services easily. This paper reports an implementation result of “The face detection server” that is a function of the platform and detects human face areas in a given image file. This function is implemented as a micro-service on the platform, and it can be used via the Internet using RSNP. In this paper, we discuss possibility of implementation of various service modules to the platform according to the result.","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":"121194151","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 proposed scheme, role switching is made by a homotopy: that is, a time-variant, continuous or setvalue, weighting interpolation function between the two extreme (leader of follower) behaviors for each individual. The role of each individual is changeable anytime with any plausible dynamic all along task execution. The formalism allows arbitrary functions for each partner's leader and follower control laws. We discuss strengths, weaknesses and perspectives of such an approach.","PeriodicalId":384027,"journal":{"name":"2011 4th International Conference on Human System Interactions, HSI 2011","volume":"55 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":"126447390","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}

However, it is not easy task for a robot to shift a particular human's attention if they are not in face-to-face situation. If the robot would like to communicate a particular person, it should turn its gaze to that person and make eye contact to establish mutual gaze. However, only such a turning action is not enough to set up eye contact when the robot and the target person are not facing each other. Therefore, the robot should perform some actions so that it can attract the target person and meet their gaze. In this paper, we present a robot that can attract a target person's attention by moving its head, make eye contact through showing gaze awareness by blinking its eyes, and establish joint attention by repeating its head turns from the person and the target object. Experiments using twenty human participants confirm the effectiveness of the robot actions to control human attention.","PeriodicalId":384027,"journal":{"name":"2011 4th International Conference on Human System Interactions, HSI 2011","volume":"349 8-9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114047031","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}
