  1. 1. DIFFERENTIAL OUTCOME TRAINING AND HUMANOID ROBOT FEEDBACK ON A VISUOSPATIAL GAMIFIED TASK: An experimental study investigating learning, affective social engagement cues and cognitive learning strategies

    University essay from Institutionen för tillämpad informationsteknologi

    Author : Alva Markelius; Sofia Sjöberg; [2023-02-01]
    Keywords : Human-robot interaction; gamified memory task; dementia; differential outcome theory; Furhat; engagement; digitalised treatments; robot assistance;

    Abstract : By combining Differential Outcome Training (DOT), the usage of unique stimulus-response pairings, and feedback from a humanoid simulated robot (SDK) this study aims to improve learning performance of subjects on a visuospatial gamified memory task. This is achieved by using the SDK as an interface for an algorithm that provides audiovisual, reinforcing feedback promoting engangement in a new dyadic setup for a gamified task. READ MORE

  4. 3. Eye-Movement Correlates of Pattern Separation in a Mnemonic Similarity Task Modified with Naturalistic Scenes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Ecem Dilmaç; [2023]
    Keywords : Scanpath Similarity; Mnemonic Similarity Task; Episodic Memory; Lure Discrimination; MultiMatch; Real-World Visual Search; Encoding; Retrieval; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Pattern separation is one of the central operations of episodic memory. Tasks that evaluate the pattern separation usually base their assessments on the behavioral recall of simple objects or words and are far from real-life experiences and daily memory performance. Thus, typical tasks that assess pattern separation lack ecological validity. READ MORE

  5. 4. Intelligible dialogue manager for social robots : An AI dialogue robot solution based on Rasa open-source framework and Pepper robot

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Jiangeng Sun; [2023]
    Keywords : Rasa; understandable robots; HRI;

    Abstract : In the process of Human-Robot Interaction, improving the intelligibility of robots is crucial. Intelligibility refers to the degree to which humans can understand robot behavior and decision-making. When humans interact with low-intelligibility robots, it can lead to a series of problems, such as misunderstanding and trust issues. READ MORE

  6. 5. Vulnerability & Resilience in an Ageing Population : A Case Study on Individual Self-Reliance & Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction Policies in Japan
