This paper proposes a novel concept called gCreativity Miningh for making use of everybody's potential creativity. Even though it is quite difficult for general people to create novel things, that does not mean that we are not creative. We all potentially have creativity. We simply cannot manifest our potential creativity at will or are unaware of its existence. In this sense, we are not uncreative...
This paper proposes a software framework for system integration in developing a dual-arm robot. In our project, the target dual-arm robot has flexibility with several functions compared to conventional industrial robots and a software framework should be designed to integrate each component effectively. The proposed software framework is composed of several layers, i.e., a control layer, a robot language...
This paper presents a possibility that we can teach what emotions a robot should express. For this, we design an artificial emotion decision system learned by feedbacks of users. The proposed system consists of three parts: a personality space with probability model, an emotion decision process, and an emotion learning process. 1) The personality space is designed based on the Five-Factor Model. In...
The importance and emphasis on interactive teaching is to implement the modern educational thought, but also to achieve quality education. Especially in online teaching, the strengths and weaknesses of the interaction is an important guarantee for the quality of teaching. This article describes the history and development of the game theory, summarizes three features of online games in the view of...
With the globalization, intercultural communication has become inevitable experience for Chinese people who are embracing people all over the world in her strive for modernization and internationalization. Cultural differences have become great obstacles to intercultural communication. Cultural value is the core of shared perceptions, existing only in the minds of people, which provides a norm of...
Adoption of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by enterprises has become a norm. CSR has achieved great traction in its endeavor to do social good for the society at large. Though the main purpose of existence of business is to maximize shareholder's wealth, CSR provides an opportunity for enterprises to leverage upon the existing technological advances in the creation of a better society. However,...
GORGE is the name of a research tool developed for investigations into playful development of technology competence. As a research tool, it has been employed several times in varying settings and application scenarios always quite successfully. Set up as a browser game, GORGE is now invading private homes. Playing GORGE may result in a gain of technology competence provided that particular aspects...
Human development does not focus on external aspects of life With regards to the nature of human beings, internal development is the vital contributor in the development of human resource Various methods of developing the spiritual potential have been done to ensure quality human resource Religions teach human beings to manage one's strength. Therefore, the role of religions cannot be marginalized...
Culture is a critical influential factor in online learning environments. In the present scenario a designer from a particular cultural background conceptualizes a globalized educational product to be delivered across geographical boundaries through the online medium. Design of such products is influenced by the designer's pre-suppositions about how he / she visualizes the reality and conceptualizes...
This paper introduces a suit of advanced human-machine interface (HMI) with gesture interaction. Related hardware component of the system and used signal processing methods are illustrated. The design of embodied conversational geography teaching system which applies this HMI system to game-based learning is described. Finally, the advantages and meanings of the usage of this geography teaching system...
In this paper, the review is vital for the development of scientific and technological research also highlights the efforts made sporadic in this area. And try to put some solutions and recommendations that help the advancement of scientific research to resolve issues in the Sudanese society as the quantity and quality. Despite the obstacles, the movement of scientific research did not stop completely,...
Urban regeneration (DR) projects involve a crucial decision-making process that contains a great amount of quantitative and qualitative data including socio-economic processes, policies, expert judgments, stakeholders' opinions, etc. A number of authorities and research studies have used different decision support techniques including Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to approach urban planning...
Learning is a process that is associated with a lot of effort and perseverance. In learning theories, motivation can be observed as a key factor. In some cases learning can become playing if the learning experience is so intrinsically satisfying and rewarding that external pressures or rewards for learning are of secondary importance. Serious games are able to increase motivation for learning by realizing...
Generally, CMAC (Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller) is used for learning of robot action, because of high speed and low memories. However, results obtained by learning are hard to understand for human because they are numeric data. We research skill acquisition of an operator by using CMAC in our laboratory. In this research, we conducted the rule extraction by Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) from...
ELECTRICAL engineers ask, is a watt-hour a watt-hour? Nutritionists ask, is a calorie a calorie? And plant pathologists ask, is carbon capture, carbon capture? How does the average person see their carbon footprint calculation [1]? We bring these abstract ideas closer for an average person with a systems engineering approach to bike machine eMergy education, so that learners can have a better grasp...
This paper proposes a new strategy for making a knot with a general-purpose arm. The strategy is divided into four stages: First, a human-performed knotting action is analyzed to acquire some motion primitives. Second, based on these databases, the robot is taught to tie a knot. Third, key points on the stored trajectories are extracted. These key points are considered in a general case, and then...
Programming by Demonstration offers an intuitive framework for teaching robots how to perform various tasks without having to preprogram them. It also offers an intuitive way to provide corrections and refine teaching during task execution. Previously, mostly position constraints have been taken into account when teaching tasks from demonstrations. In this work, we tackle the problem of teaching tasks...
We have built Sim Student, a computational model of learning, and applied it as a peer learner that allows students to learn by teaching. Using Sim Student, we study the effect of tutor learning. In this paper, we discuss an empirical classroom study where we evaluated whether asking students to provide explanations for their tutoring activities facilitates tutor learning -- the self-explanation effect...
The development of a hierarchical knowledge map to be used with an intelligent questioning system is described in detail in this paper. The purpose of the intelligent questioning system is to improve the educational process in engineering courses by allowing students to learn more in less time, to understand more deeply, and to enjoy their learning experience. Key elements of this system are a question...
Human rights at poor working condition is the severe problem in modern manufacturing system. Dirty and hazard surroundings to make IT products or automobile products is also a critical issue in Korea. Moreover, long working hours to do tedious and repetitive operation is against to the human welfare. To solve these problems fundamentally, the industrial robot can be a fine solution. The human-robot...
