T1 - Tactile Interaction with a Humanoid Robot: Effects on Physiology and Subjective Impressions JF - International Journal of Social Robotics N2 - This study investigated how touching and being touched by a humanoid robot affects human physiology, impressions of the interaction, and attitudes towards humanoid robots. 21 healthy adult participants completed a 3 (touch style: touching, being touched, pointing) × 2 (body part: hand vs buttock) within-subject design using a Pepper robot. Skin conductance response (SCR) was measured during each interaction. Perceived impressions of the interaction (i.e., friendliness, comfort, arousal) were measured per questionnaire after each interaction. Participants’ demographics and their attitude towards robots were also considered. We found shorter SCR rise times in the being touched compared to the touching condition, possibly reflecting psychological alertness to the unpredictability of robot-initiated contacts. The hand condition had shorter rise times than the buttock condition. Most participants evaluated the hand condition as most friendly and comfortable and the robot-initiated interactions as most arousing. Interacting with Pepper improved attitudes towards robots. Our findings require future studies with larger samples and improved procedures. They have implications for robot design in all domains involving tactile interactions, such as caring and intimacy.

Für die Abbildung ehemals analoger Prozesse sind individuelle Softwarelösungen unabdingbar. In diesem Kapitel soll am Beispiel ausgewählter hochschulspezifischer Softwareanwendungen der Weg beschrieben werden, wie ein solcher Umbau im Rahmen bestehender Systeme vollzogen werden kann. Im Fokus dieser Beschreibung stehen Softwareanwendungen, die sowohl die Verwaltungsprozesse rund um die Erstellung von Thesisarbeiten – beginnend mit der Anmeldung bis zur Abgabe der Arbeit, der Durchführung von Abschlussprüfungen bis zur Publikation der Thesisarbeiten – als auch Akkreditierungsprozesse an der TH Wildau unterstützen, mit denen Modulhandbücher und Logbücher erstellt werden, die die Entwicklung von Studiengängen zwischen den Reakkreditierungen transparent nachvollziehbar machen. Ein besonderes Augenmerk wird auf Schnittstellen anderer Hochschulprozesse gelegt. Diese Anwendungen wurden mit agilen Methoden erstellt. Das Zusammenspiel von agiler Softwareentwicklung und entsprechenden Evaluationsschritten soll zeigen, wie diese Methoden an der Hochschule mit kleinen Teams effektiv eingesetzt werden können, um mit Blick auf die Verbesserung der Qualität und Einheitlichkeit von Studium und Lehre ein bestmögliches Optimierungspotenzial zu erreichen.

With the help of maps, audio tracks, and 360°-pictures a user is guided across campus and provided with current information about visible and invisible services and options. Because of its modular and general approach, the guide has been used for several, quite different purposes. One very successful application case has been a multimedia guide for the university library. This has been used for introducing new library users into using the library services, providing information about the special architecture of the library building, or even as a multimedia guide for one of the many exhibitions that find their place in the library. In this paper, we will explain the features of this application, provide some practical experiences, and show how it can easily be adapted to any library (or campus).

Das große Ziel liegt in der Schaffung eines mobilen und multilingualen Campus-Informationssystems, das es Besuchern, Studierenden und Mitarbeitern der TH Wildau [FH] ermöglicht, einen schnellen und übersichtlichen Einblick in alle Domänen des Campus zu erhalten. Neben Höhepunkten in der Softwareentwicklung, darunter die Programmierung von Smartphone- und "Rich Internet"-Applikationen, beschäftigen sich die Projektmitarbeiter auch mit der Entwicklung und Evaluation eines Indoor-Ortungs-Systems in der Hochschulbibliothek, das seitens der Hardware auf aktiver RFID-Technik, die im lizenzfreien 2,4 Ghz ISM-Band arbeitet, aufbaut und seitens der Software auf einem open-source Projekt mit dem Namen "OpenBeacon" basiert. ICampus’ Ziel ist es, das System durch Anpassung der Firmware der OpenBeacon-RFID-Tags und (Weiter-)entwicklung von Ortungsalgorithmen so zu stabilisieren, dass es auch in kritischen baulichen Gegebenheiten zuverlässige Ergebnisse liefert und universell einsetzbar wird. N2 - In 2009 the „icampus Wildau“ project started at the Technical university of applied sciences in Wildau. It is a project mainly driven by students of the Telematics course under the guidance of prof. Dr. Janett mohnke. The main goal is to set up a mobile and multilingual on-campus-information system, providing visitors, students and employees a quick and clear overview of the facilities of the different university domains as well as information about special events. Besides highlights in the field of software development such as programming smartphone and rich internet applications, the icampus project team develops and evaluates an indoor localization system in the university’s library that is based on active RFID technology, working in the 2.4GHz ISM-band and opensource software, namely “openbeacon”. Reaching the main target, which is stabilization of localization results and universal usage in almost every critical constructional area, is achieved by the adaptation of the RFID tag’s firmware and the further development of localization algorithms. Detailed descriptions from the hardware and software side as well as a discussion of the perspective of this technology will be made in this paper.

Yes, It Can! T2 - Learning and Collaboration Technologies : 10th International Conference, LCT 2023, Held as Part of the 25th HCI International Conference, HCII 2023, Copenhagen, Denmark, July 23–28, 2023, Proceedings, Part II N2 - The ability to read and write is an important requirement for an active participation in social life – maybe even the most important one. It is a prerequisite for education and in most cases also for professional success. So, it is important, that children learn how to read. In this paper, a case study is presented which investigates the question how humanoid robots can support the motivation of children to read. For this, we considered the following questions: Can humanoid robots, like the NAO robot from Aldebaran Robotics, motivate children to read more and with pleasure? Is there a setup which is technically stable enough to work outside a lab environment and without developer support? The underlying project uses children’s curiosity about humanoid robots to create an exciting learning experience. The idea can be summarized as follows: Children read to a NAO robot and communicate to the robot about the content of the book. What started as a research project is now an application that is readily used in several public libraries in Germany. Currently, our so-called Reading-NAO can interact in German and in English. The paper also introduces the idea, its realization, practical experiences and future plans for the project.
