van Diggelen, J. (author), Looije, R. (author), Mioch, T. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Smets, N.J.J.M. (author)This paper presents a usage-centered evaluation method to assess the capabilities of a particular Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) for establishing the operational goals. The method includes a test battery consisting of basic tasks (e.g., slalom, funnel driving, object detection). Tests can be of different levels of abstraction, and be performed in...conference paper 2012

Mioch, T. (author), Smets, N.J.J.M. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Human-in-the-loop field tests of human-robot operations in high-demand situations provide serious constraints with respect to costs and control. A set of relatively simple unit tasks might be used to do part of the testing and to establish a benchmark for human-robot performance and situation awareness. For an urban search and rescue (tunnel...conference paper 2012

Blanson Henkemans, O.A. (author), Hoondert, V. (author), Schrama-Groot, F. (author), Looije, R. (author), Alpay, L.L. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Children with type 1 diabetes need to self-manage their illness to minimize its impact on their long-term health. However, because children are still developing cognitively and emotionally, self-management is challenging. The European FP7 project, ALIZ-E, looks at how social robots can support children aged 8–12 years with their diabetes self...article 2012

Laverman, M. (author), Jansen, Y. (author), Alpay, L. (author), van der Boog, P. (author), Schonk, B.J.H.M. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Motivation - The development of self-management systems has been mainly initiated and driven by health-care professionals, resulting in a primarily medical view on the role of these systems in health care for chronically ill patients. However, lay people consider their health rather in terms of 'participation' and 'feeling healthy'. Therefore,...conference paper 2012

Colin, T.R. (author), Mioch, T. (author), Smets, N.J.J.M. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)This paper presents a Cognitive Task Load (CTL) model designed to keep track of an operator’s mental workload, both quantitatively (amount of workload) and qualitatively (cognitive state). By integrating this model in a (semi-)autonomous robot, robot’s level of automation and user interface can be attuned to the operator’s state (Every second,...conference paper 2012

Peeters, M.M.M. (author), van den Bosch, K. (author), Meijer, J.J.C. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Serious games offer high potential for immersive, effective, and autonomous training. However, research has shown that trainees need guidance and structure during training. This could be achieved by means of well-chosen scenarios and targeted adaptations of the storyline based on didactic considerations. This paper discusses some of the...conference paper 2012

Peeters, M.M.M. (author), Meyer, J.J.C. (author), van den Bosch, K. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Serious games enable trainees to practice independently of school, staff, and fellow students. This is important as amount of practice directly relates to training efficacy. It is also known that personalized guidance elevates the benefits of training. How to achieve automated guidance, for example to be used in serious games, is a yet unsolved...conference paper 2012
