A trial of retrofitted advisory collision avoidance technology in government fleet vehicles.

Accident; analysis and prevention
In-vehicle collision avoidance technology (CAT) has the potential to prevent crash involvement. In 2015, Transport for New South Wales undertook a trial of a Mobileye 560 CAT system that was installed in 34 government fleet vehicles for a period of s...

Differences between Dual Users and Switchers Center around Vaping Behavior and Its Experiences Rather than Beliefs and Attitudes.

International journal of environmental research and public health
(1) Background: Many smokers completely switch to vaping (switchers), whereas others use e-cigarettes (e-cigs) alongside tobacco cigarettes (dual users). To the extent that dual users substantially lower the number of cigarettes, they will reduce hea...

Attributing Agency to Automated Systems: Reflections on Human-Robot Collaborations and Responsibility-Loci.

Science and engineering ethics
Many ethicists writing about automated systems (e.g. self-driving cars and autonomous weapons systems) attribute agency to these systems. Not only that; they seemingly attribute an autonomous or independent form of agency to these machines. This lead...

Optimism in Active Learning.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Active learning is the problem of interactively constructing the training set used in classification in order to reduce its size. It would ideally successively add the instance-label pair that decreases the classification error most. However, the eff...

A Survey of Expectations About the Role of Robots in Robot-Assisted Therapy for Children with ASD: Ethical Acceptability, Trust, Sociability, Appearance, and Attachment.

Science and engineering ethics
The use of robots in therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) raises issues concerning the ethical and social acceptability of this technology and, more generally, about human-robot interaction. However, usually philosophical papers o...

"You gotta try it all": Parents' Experiences with Robotic Gait Training for their Children with Cerebral Palsy.

Physical & occupational therapy in pediatrics
AIMS: Innovative robotic technologies hold strong promise for improving walking abilities of children with cerebral palsy (CP), but may create expectations for parents pursuing the "newest thing" in treatment. The aim of this qualitative study was to...

Domesticating the Drone: The Demilitarisation of Unmanned Aircraft for Civil Markets.

Science and engineering ethics
Remotely piloted aviation systems (RPAS) or 'drones' are well known for their military applications, but could also be used for a range of non-military applications for state, industrial, commercial and recreational purposes. The technology is advanc...

Modeling the dynamics of evaluation: a multilevel neural network implementation of the iterative reprocessing model.

Personality and social psychology review : an official journal of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, Inc
We present a neural network implementation of central components of the iterative reprocessing (IR) model. The IR model argues that the evaluation of social stimuli (attitudes, stereotypes) is the result of the IR of stimuli in a hierarchy of neural ...

The Attitudes and Perceptions of Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment Toward an Assistive Robot.

Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society
The purpose of this study was to explore perceived difficulties and needs of older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and their attitudes toward an assistive robot to develop appropriate robot functionalities. Twenty subjects were recruited ...

Ecological Network Analysis: Utilizing Machine Learning to Unravel the Effects of Multilevel Pathways of Moderate⁃to⁃Vigorous Physical Activity Facilitators Among School Children.

Research quarterly for exercise and sport
The objective of the present study was to ascertain whether the association between moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) levels and individual, interpersonal, organizational, and environmental factors among school children is influ...
