Approximate dynamic programming approaches for appointment scheduling with patient preferences.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
During the appointment booking process in out-patient departments, the level of patient satisfaction can be affected by whether or not their preferences can be met, including the choice of physicians and preferred time slot. In addition, because the ...

Enhancing the effectiveness of human-robot teaming with a closed-loop system.

Applied ergonomics
With technological developments in robotics and their increasing deployment, human-robot teams are set to be a mainstay in the future. To develop robots that possess teaming capabilities, such as being able to communicate implicitly, the present stud...

Human interaction with robotic systems: performance and workload evaluations.

Ergonomics
We first tested the effect of differing tactile informational forms (i.e. directional cues vs. static cues vs. dynamic cues) on objective performance and perceived workload in a collaborative human-robot task. A second experiment evaluated the influe...

HRI usability evaluation of interaction modes for a teleoperated agricultural robotic sprayer.

Applied ergonomics
Teleoperation of an agricultural robotic system requires effective and efficient human-robot interaction. This paper investigates the usability of different interaction modes for agricultural robot teleoperation. Specifically, we examined the overall...

Reduction of Assessment Time for Stroke-Related Impairments Using Robotic Evaluation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Robotic technologies can provide objective, reliable tools for assessing a broad range of sensory, motor and cognitive functions. However, as additional tasks are developed on these platforms, the time necessary to assess a patient increases. In this...

Impact of three task demand factors on simulated unmanned system intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations.

Ergonomics
The present study investigated how three task demand factors influenced performance, subjective workload and stress of novice intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operators within a simulation of an unmanned ground vehicle. Manipulations we...

Comparison of three different techniques for camera and motion control of a teleoperated robot.

Applied ergonomics
This research aims to evaluate new methods for robot motion control and camera orientation control through the operator's head orientation in robot teleoperation tasks. Specifically, the use of head-tracking in a non-invasive way, without immersive v...

Pattern Classification of Instantaneous Cognitive Task-load Through GMM Clustering, Laplacian Eigenmap, and Ensemble SVMs.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
The identification of the temporal variations in human operator cognitive task-load (CTL) is crucial for preventing possible accidents in human-machine collaborative systems. Recent literature has shown that the change of discrete CTL level during hu...
