Combining Grey Relationship Analysis and Neural Network to Develop Attractive Automobile Booth Design.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Miryoku engineering is a design concept based on customer preferences, with the goal of creating attractive products or spaces. However, traditional Miryoku engineering faces two main issues: (1) the upper Kansei factor ranks the weights by the numbe...

Of robots and humans: Creating user representations in practice.

Social studies of science
In this study, we explore the constitution of user representations of robots in design practice. Using the results of ethnographic research in two robot laboratories, we show how user representations emerge in and are entangled with design activities...

Companion robots for older people: importance of user-centred design demonstrated through observations and focus groups comparing preferences of older people and roboticists in South West England.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVE: Companion robots, such as Paro, may reduce agitation and depression for older people with dementia. However, contradictory research outcomes suggest robot design is not always optimal. While many researchers suggest user-centred design is ...

A survey of adaptive resonance theory neural network models for engineering applications.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
This survey samples from the ever-growing family of adaptive resonance theory (ART) neural network models used to perform the three primary machine learning modalities, namely, unsupervised, supervised and reinforcement learning. It comprises a repre...

Prediction of Surface Roughness considering Cutting Parameters and Humidity Condition in End Milling of Polyamide Materials.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
To know the impact of processing parameters of PA6G under different humidity conditions is important as it is vulnerable to humidity up to 7 %. This study investigated the effect of cutting parameters to surface roughness quality in wet and dry condi...

Risk Analysis of Earth-Rock Dam Failures Based on Fuzzy Event Tree Method.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Earth-rock dams make up a large proportion of the dams in China, and their failures can induce great risks. In this paper, the risks associated with earth-rock dam failure are analyzed from two aspects: the probability of a dam failure and the result...

Robustness in living organisms is homeostasis.

Seminars in immunology
In order to survive and reproduce, living organisms must be robust, tolerate injuries and undergo repair. Robustness in living organisms compares to robustness in human inventions, such as buildings and machines, which have to withstand occasional da...

Self-Driving Cars and Engineering Ethics: The Need for a System Level Analysis.

Science and engineering ethics
The literature on self-driving cars and ethics continues to grow. Yet much of it focuses on ethical complexities emerging from an individual vehicle. That is an important but insufficient step towards determining how the technology will impact human ...

The Dawning of the Ethics of Environmental Robots.

Science and engineering ethics
Environmental scientists and engineers have been exploring research and monitoring applications of robotics, as well as exploring ways of integrating robotics into ecosystems to aid in responses to accelerating environmental, climatic, and biodiversi...
