Observation Method

In a dynamic environment that involves multiple humans and multiple robots, competitive and collaborative work, and high time pressure, understanding how team players interact with each other and with teleoperated robots has a significant potential to improve human–robot team performance. This study used a naturalistic observation method to explore group interactions with robots during a qualifying robotics tournament. Teams of high school students had six weeks to design, build, and program a robot that plays a field game against other robots. In each match, three robot teams played collaboratively as an alliance against the other three-team alliance, gaining points by defending their stronghold and conquering the opponent’s stronghold. The study identified five areas where groups interacted with robots in a typical tournament (e.g., pit, queuing hall, and match field) and major team roles (e.g., mechanical, programming, electrical work, marketing, and driving). Critical group interactions with robots were captured in several situations, varying according to activity areas and individuals’ roles on their robotic teams. Potential cognitive and emotional issues, future research directions, and implications of the study were discussed.

Trust should be learnt from history and context sensitive. It should not be absolute in nature. Due to the conglomeration of various technologies in a secure cyber physical system it is quite a challenge to handle trust issues in a cyber physical system. Trust management in cyber physical system is needed due to increase in the degree of autonomy, decentralized policies ,dynamic environment, decision-making based on social rules,customs,laws,values, and ethics. This chapter brings light into the existing strategies already applied by few organizations, their inherent benefits and consequent shortcomings too. There are many factors contributing towards the establishment, expression, evaluation ,maintenance of trustworthiness. In this chapter we advocate a novel framework for trust management which stands up to the research directions of how to build a unified framework for trust management, how to modify the way we compute trust, how to decide the right granularity for a trust model

Virtual Interactions

Middleverse de Español (MdE) is an evolving platform for foreign language (FL) study, aligned to the goals of ACTFL’s National Standards and 2007 MLA report. The project simulates an immersive environment in a virtual 3-D space for the acquisition of translingual and transcultural competence in Spanish meant to support content-based and communicative classroom practices. This paper describes the design of MdE on Second Life as a dynamic environment of integrated technologies and its selection criteria, including the pedagogical principles guiding design and practices. Pedagogy is further explored conceptually in addressing language acquisition and cultural immersion within the broader communication’s system of language, images and symbols of the digitalized age. The initial pilot demonstrates that negotiations of meaning and negative feedback intrinsic to virtual interactions promote repair moves. Furthermore, students’ reconfiguring of conventionalized norms of participation results in increased exchanges in the classroom that stimulate student-centered discussions and meaningful collaborative work.

Assessment And Treatment

Current ambulatory technologies are highly relevant for neuropsychological assessment and treatment as they provide a gateway to real life data. Ambulatory assessment of cognitive complaints, skills and emotional states in natural contexts provides information that has a greater ecological validity than traditional assessment approaches. This issue presents an overview of current technological and methodological innovations, opportunities, problems and limitations of these methods designed for the context-sensitive measurement of cognitive, emotional and behavioral function. The usefulness of selected ambulatory approaches is demonstrated and their relevance for an ecologically valid neuropsychology is highlighted.

Methodological Principles

The educative experience of people with disability leads the inter­na­tio­nal debate towards the value of inclusive learning contexts. Nonetheless, the theoretical and methodological principles of an inclusive education approach have to be outlined. Data collected using explorative questionnaires during a five-years survey in an Italian region's schools show a slow evolution of the scholastic context. From the perspective of Special Pedagogy, the qualitative investigation on three macro-dimensions (the diversity perception, the didactic and methodological means, the wellbeing of pupils) reveals an emerging development of solid awareness among teachers. Findings confirm that the inclusion processes at school are attainable only throughout a series of clear methodological elements: 1) a valorising attitude towards diversity; 2) an orienting learning process; 3) a plural and flexible use of both methodologies and strategies; 4) a collaborative work environment; 5) a continuous training process; 6) a deontological approach. These are the principles that allow teachers to support each student in the manifold itineraries of identity fulfilment, encouraging pupils to express their needs and to develop their abilities in a welcoming and participative context.
