Tielman, M.L. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), van Meggelen, M. (author), Franken, I. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: With the rise of autonomous e-mental health applications, virtual agents can play a major role in improving trustworthiness, therapy outcome and adherence. In these applications, it is important that patients adhere in the sense that they perform the tasks, but also that they adhere to the specific recommendations on...article 2017

Brouwer, A.M. (author), van der Waa, J.S. (author), Hogervorst, M.A. (author), Cacace, A. (author), Stokking, H. (author)While brain signals potentially provide us with valuable information about a user, it is not straightforward to derive and use this information to smooth man-machine interaction in a real life setting. We here propose to predict head rotation on the basis of brain signals in order to improve images presented in a Head Mounted Display (HMD)....conference paper 2017

Poos, J.M. (author), van den Bosch, K. (author), Janssen, C.P. (author)This study investigates whether cognitive bias in judgment and decision making can be reduced by training, and whether the effects are affected by the nature of the training environment. Theory suggests that biases can be overcome by training in critical reflective thinking. In addition, applied research studies have suggested that game-based...article 2017

(author)In the paper we present our Range-IT prototype, which is a 3D depth camera based electronic travel aid (ETA) to assist visually impaired people in finding out detailed information of surrounding objects. In addition to detecting indoor obstacles and identifying several objects of interest (e.g., walls, open doors and stairs) up to 7 meters, the...conference paper 2017

(author)We report on the latest large-scale disaster-response exercise conducted by our project, which involves a robotic system with both ground robots (UGVs) and aerial robots (UAVs). In particularly, we focus on aspects related to Human-Robot teaming, and the uptake of new technology by end-users. © 2017 Authors. ACM SIGAI; ACM SIGCHI; IEEE Robotics...conference paper 2017

Grützmacher, F. (author), Beichler, B. (author), Haubelt, C. (author), Theelen, B. (author)Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are tightly coupled with the environment, and therefore it is important that interactions with the surroundings like Human-Computer-Interactions are performed very responsive. Since CPS are often embedded without traditional input devices, like in medical or automotive contexts, gesture recognition approaches are...conference paper 2016

(author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Populations in developed societies show an increasingly higher life expectancy across the globe. To support older adults to live longer and healthier lives in the familiar surroundings of their homes, technological developments, such as robots and avatars, have a great potential.

Xu, J. (author), Broekens, J. (author), Hindriks, K. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)A parameterized behavior model was developed for robots to show mood during task execution. In this study, we applied the model to the coverbal gestures of a robotic storyteller. This study investigated whether parameterized mood expression can 1) show mood that is changing over time; 2) reinforce affect communication when other modalities exist...conference paper 2015

van Erp, J.B.F. (author), Toet, A. (author)Touch is our primary non-verbal communication channel for conveying intimate emotions and as such essential for our physical and emotional wellbeing. In our digital age, human social interaction is often mediated.

(author)We developed active tangibles (Sensators) that can be used in combination with multitouch tabletops and that can provide multisensory (visual, auditory, and vibrotactile) feedback. For spatial alignment and rotation tasks we measured subjective user experience and objective performance with these Sensators. We found that active feedback...conference paper 2015
