In this position paper, I question and critique what animal-centered design really means as it is used. I argue that even though the ACI manifesto and subsequent foundational works clearly set out a focus on animal user-centered design, much work since has adopted ‘animal-centered’ as being a synonym for ‘animal user-centered’. However, I argue, the fundamental essence of ACI’s intellectual origins in human-centered design’s preoccupation with human values, and in turn, human dignity – which set it apart from mere user-centered design, is lost in such a straightforward adoption of the term. I then analyze what it might mean to actually adopt a value-driven approach akin to human-centered design for animal-centered design, and how this might force us to move beyond the typical welfarist position dominant across most of ACI. Rather than consider the prevention of unnecessary suffering as a central goal of technologies developed by ACI researchers, I argue that technologies that preserve animal dignity as a core value is a more appropriate understanding of the term ‘animal-centered’.","PeriodicalId":432998,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124002875","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 workshop is targeted at researchers from different disciplines, with expertise on animal research from different perspectives. The event will involve group work sessions during which participants will discuss diverse case studies, exploring the applicability of animal-centered ethics principles when designing research that involves animals, and plenary discussions during which participants will share challenges identified, collectively explore possible ways to address them in practice and produce policy suggestions to facilitate the implementation of scenario-specific trade-offs. The workshop will be run both in presence and virtually, to promote inclusion of participants from different geographic areas. A key outcome of the event will be the establishment of a working group to develop a framework and provide a resource for researchers and practitioners whose work involves animals and for whom the application of animal-cantered technologies, methods or frameworks may be relevant.","PeriodicalId":432998,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126718077","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}

Such prenatal sensory experiences may affect development and have long-term consequences on postnatal behavior. Although artificial incubators increase survival rate, they prevent vocal communication, potentially hindering the development of species identity and behaviors. This work introduces a research design predicated on the review of relevant literature, aimed at new applications for animal management. We propose an approach and set of considerations to augment artificial incubators with two-way, low-latency audio streaming to reestablish the vocal communication channel between parent birds and eggs. In the nest, the real egg is replaced by an augmented “dummy” egg, embedded with a microphone and speaker. We present our motivations, followed by an overview of the system and a series of considerations in terms of engineering, design, species-specific and evaluation requirements. Finally we elaborate on different application contexts such as research, farming, and preservation.","PeriodicalId":432998,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127585264","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}

This is the case for older adults, people who suffer epileptic seizures, and people with emotional crises, to name a few. Assistance dogs trained to live with such people play a significant role, as they can identify emergencies and carry out specific actions to help the patient. It has a positive impact on people’s sense of security and self-esteem. In this article, we present the design, implementation, and validation of an environmental audio monitoring system that recognizes barking and detects the marking bark pattern of trained dogs to notify emergencies. When the device detects the barking pattern, it sends out an alarm signal that can be received on a caregiver’s phone. We evaluated the automatic bark detection performance of the audio classifier using the F1-score accuracy metric obtaining an average of 94% under ideal conditions, and 98% in a house simulation environment using background noise. Regarding the evaluation of the alarm algorithm, the system obtained 85% without background noise and 82% with background noise. This project intends to create the technological foundations for a system that improves the quality of life for patients and caregivers by enhancing the capabilities and maximizing the talents of assistance dogs taking advantage of the impressive current advances of information and communication technologies.","PeriodicalId":432998,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123519410","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}

Today, sled dog teams still provide transportation as well as sport, such as the famous Iditarod race. Studies show that of the 38% of dogs which drop out of long distance sled races, 51% drop due to orthopedic injuries. Sled dog mushers have limited ways of quantifying their dog’s health while training and racing, mostly relying on visual observation. According to Iditarod mushers and veterinarians, the easiest way to detect injuries in sled dogs is through analysis of pull force and gait. We created a Wearable Activity and Gait Detection (WAG’D) monitor in an effort to identify early signs of gait and pull force changes, with the intent of reducing the number of injuries in sled dog racing. We sought to identify requirements for a wearable sled dog monitor and build a high-fidelity prototype to demonstrate proof-of-concept. The WAG’D monitor may also prove useful for other canine athletes, such as those who participate in Canicross or Bikejoring. A gait detection monitor may also have important applications for veterinarians for lameness detection. We evaluated the prototype’s functionality and received feedback through semi-structured interviews with 5 Canicross athletes and 2 Bikejorers in Georgia USA as well one Iditarod musher in Alaska USA. We have demonstrated the feasibility of the WAG’D wearable computing device which can collect inertial and pull force data in-situ during field studies.","PeriodicalId":432998,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115182398","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, the relationship between chewing and welfare in kennel-housed dogs has not been systematically examined. The purpose of this study was to develop a sensor to quantify chewing with the intention that this technology could be used to understand the relationship between chewing and welfare in kennel-housed dogs. We show that a collar-based microphone can sense canine bites on a Nylabone chew toy. Four human raters annotated bites on audio samples collected from twelve dogs with five minutes of continuous access to the chew toy. A high degree of reliability was found with an average intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.994. Using consensus labeling for training, we created bite detection algorithms using random forest, logistic regression, and convolutional neural network (CNN) based techniques. The CNN-based system achieved the highest performance recognition with an accuracy of 88% with a 91% F1 score. This technology will allow us to analyze a larger data set to uncover relationships between chewing styles and stress, cognition, and other characteristics associated with dog welfare.","PeriodicalId":432998,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121699235","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}

Despite advances in the ergonomics, performance, and usability of ECG sensor technologies specifically designed for dogs, deploying those systems in the real world imposes challenges such as training human operators to ensure electrodes’ proper contact with the skin and, especially in the case of puppies, socialization to achieve comfort and reduce behavioral inhibition. Seismocardiogram signal is an alternate modality for heartbeat signals and is acquired using the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), which is commercially available, widely deployed, and does not require skin-contact. However, the extracted signals from IMU are subject to heavy influences from motion and other noise sources. In this paper, we present a method that enables extracting the similar physiological parameters ECG provides using easier-to-deploy IMU sensors. We propose and evaluate a machine learning framework that reconstructs ECG signals from IMU signals even under moderate to heavy movements. Our study investigated two artificial neural network architectures to overcome severe noise artifacts in the IMU signal resulting from dogs’ movements and environmental factors. The first architecture combines the attention mechanism and convolution layers to extract important features from the temporal IMU input. The second architecture adapts contrastive representation learning to the regression problem and learns a more effective embedding for the ECG reconstruction. The qualitative inspection and quantitative analysis based on F1 scores of the R-peak alignment demonstrate the effectiveness of the two proposed models in removing motion noises and reconstructing realistic ECG signals, achieving an F1 score of 0.72 in the best case compared to 0.29 from the baseline.","PeriodicalId":432998,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128367481","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}
