Mixed Reality (MR) is a technology with strong potential for advancing research in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) for space exploration. Apart from the efficiency and high flexibility MR can offer, we argue that its benefits for HRI research in space contexts lies particularly in its ability to aid human-in-the-loop development, offer realistic hybrid simulations, and foster broader participation in HRI research in the space exploration context. However, we believe that this is only plausible if MR-based simulations can yield comparable results to fully physical approaches in human-centred studies. In this position paper, we highlight several arguments in favour of MR as a tool for space HRI research, while emphasising the importance of the open question regarding its scientific validity. We believe MR could become a central tool for preparing for future human-robotic space exploration missions and significantly diversify research in this domain.
ABSTRACT
Trust is important for collaboration. In hybrid teams of humans and robots, trust enables smooth collaboration and reduces risks. Just as collaboration between humans and robots differs from interpersonal collaboration, so does the nature of trust in human-robot interaction (HRI). Therefore, further investigations on trust formation and dissolution in HRI, factors affecting it, and means for keeping trust on an appropriate level are needed. However, our knowledge of interpersonal trust and trust in autonomous agents cannot be transferred directly to HRI. In this paper, we present a study with 32 participants on trust formation and dissolution as well as forecasting to influence trust in an industry robot. Results show differences in dynamics and factors of trust formation and dissolution. Additionally, we find that the effect of forecasting on trust depends on task success. These findings support the design of trustful human-robot interaction and corresponding robotic team members.
Abstract
Indigenous people across the globe have all too often been marginalised and not been considered in decisions that directly concern their life. We maintain the significance of incorporating indigenous perspectives in society to create a global dialogue through direct participation. In this light we propose a situated action in which our co-author from the Ju/’hoansi tribe, one of the San ethnicity in Southern Africa, digitally records semi-structured conversations with members of other indigenous communities at the conference and public spaces in Sibu. Then participants are engaged into a participatory exploration of processing the audio files into sound installations and soundscapes which “amplify indigenous voices“. We anticipate that the products can be reused for further initiatives in the different countries, raising awareness and calling for action on matters of concern for indigenous people.
Abstract
In this paper we present the co-design and implementation of an extended reality escape room with 26 primary school students. The aim of our study was to explore the co-design process with students and to co-create a playable escape room, providing an asymmetric immersive experience in which players collaborate. We realised the complexity of designing such an escape room with primary students. We share our experiences and learnings in regard to required capacities and skills of co-designers, and adjustment of complexity and timing to players. We also maintain that the integration of extended reality technologies into escape rooms requires further research to realise asymmetric co-located collaboration.
Journalism and Advertising: On the Separation of Editorial Content and Commercial Communication
(2024)
Abstract
The principle of separation between editorial content and commercial communication protects both the democratic and the commercial function of mass media. This article compiles all available statutory and professional regulations in Germany as an example of the various aspects of the principle of separation, such as the labeling obligation, the prohibition of paid content and tying transactions, as well as the handling of numerous forms of presentation of editorial advertising. Subsequently, the state of research is reported for the individual aspects of the principle of separation, in particular with regard to description and effect. Finally, proposed solutions for current application and desiderata are compiled.
Media Brand Management
(2024)
Abstract
The management of media brands faces challenges. In order to be able to point out possible solutions, this article first explains the concept and the nature of “media brands.” Subsequently, various theoretical approaches to the explanation of media brands and their management are presented. Regardless of theoretical preferences, it is important to keep in mind the brand-strategic complexity of media management that is subsequently described. Due to their specificity,
special attention is paid to the basic strategic positioning options and to the communication management of media brands. In this way, the special features of media brand management become clear in comparison with other products and services.
Fake News, PR-Skandal, Mainstream-Presse – diese Schlagworte kennzeichnen vor allem eines: den Vertrauensverlust der Öffentlichkeit in die Berichterstattung von Medien und Unternehmen. In einem nahezu unentwirrbaren Kommunikationsdschungel aus Medien, Internetportalen und sozialen Plattformen wird es nicht nur für Laien immer schwieriger, verlässliche und unseriöse Kommunikation voneinander zu unterscheiden.
So steigt die Anzahl derer, die professioneller Kommunikation mit Misstrauen begegnen und in ihr vor allem Einflussnahme oder gar Manipulation sehen. Aus den Augen gerät dabei oft, dass Deutschland über eines der freiheitlichsten und vielfältigsten Mediensysteme der Welt verfügt.
Das Buch diskutiert die Grenzen zwischen Manipulation und Kommunikation on- wie offline und zeigt, wie man schlampige und seriöse Meinungsmacher unterscheidet, welche Rolle Fakten spielen und wie Medien und Unternehmen dazu beitragen können, dass Glaubwürdigkeit in der medialen Debatte wieder einen Stellenwert bekommt.
Focusing on the implementation of the Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3), the chapter examines the development of cluster policies in the Ruhr Metropolis as a post-industrial region. The chapter traces the historical development of the Ruhr Area from its industrial peak in the 20th century to its slow transformation into a post-industrial landscape characterised by high urban density, new knowledge-based clusters and a persistent structural lack of effective regional cooperation. The analysis shows the conceptual shift from traditional cluster policies to the S3 approach, introduced by the European Union in 2014. The Smart Specialisation Strategy calls for a focus on comparative regional strengths and the involvement of a wide range of stakeholders in the identification of clusters for sustainable economic growth. The chapter also discusses the challenges and milestones in developing a coherent and effective Smart Specialisation Strategy, emphasising the need for inter-municipal cooperation and a new multi-level approach to regional governance. Using the case of the Ruhr Metropolis, the chapter highlights the opportunities and constraints of S3 policies to revitalise post-industrial regions by promoting innovation and adapting to global economic trends in cluster development, thus showing a way forward for other regions with similar structural challenges.
Abstract
Earthquakes, fire, and floods often cause structural collapses of buildings. However, the inspection of such damaged buildings poses a high risk for emergency forces or is even impossible. We present three recently selected missions of the Robotics Task Force of the German Rescue Robotics Center (DRZ), where both ground and aerial robots were used to explore destroyed buildings. We describe and reflect the missions as well as the lessons learned that have resulted from them. To make robots from research laboratories fit for real operations, realistic outdoor and indoor test environments were set up at the DRZ and used for tests in regular exercises by researchers and emergency forces. On the basis of this experience, the robots and their control software were significantly improved. Furthermore, expert teams of
researchers and first responders were formed, each with realistic assessments of the operational and practical suitability of robotic systems.
