Real-Time Traffic and Environment Risk Estimation for the Optimisation of Human-Machine Interaction

This chapter introduces a conceptual model for the design of Web 2.0 applications relying on rich Internet application (RIA) technologies. RIAs extend Web application features by allowing computation to be partitioned between the client and the server and support core Web 2.0 requirements, like real-time collaboration among users, sophisticated presentation and manipulation of multimedia content, and flexible human-machine interaction (synchronous and asynchronous, connected and disconnected). The proposed approach for the design of Web 2.0 applications extends a conceptual platform-independent model conceived for Web 1.0 applications with novel primitives capturing RIA features; the conceptual model can be automatically converted into implementations in all the most popular RIA technologies and frameworks like AJAX, OpenLaszlo, FLEX, AIR, Google Gears, Google Web toolkit, and Silverlight.

Machine Interaction

AbstractIn human-machine interaction, robotic hands are useful in many scenarios. To operate robotic hands via gestures instead of handles will greatly improve the convenience and intuition of human-machine interaction. Here, we present a magnetic array assisted sliding triboelectric sensor for achieving a real-time gesture interaction between a human hand and robotic hand. With a finger’s traction movement of flexion or extension, the sensor can induce positive/negative pulse signals. Through counting the pulses in unit time, the degree, speed, and direction of finger motion can be judged in real-time. The magnetic array plays an important role in generating the quantifiable pulses. The designed two parts of magnetic array can transform sliding motion into contact-separation and constrain the sliding pathway, respectively, thus improve the durability, low speed signal amplitude, and stability of the system. This direct quantization approach and optimization of wearable gesture sensor provide a new strategy for achieving a natural, intuitive, and real-time human-robotic interaction.

Human-machine Interaction (HMI) system plays a crucial role in borehole-to-surface electromagnetic surveys. In electromagnetic transmission system, real-time monitoring ability about transmitted parameters and states has benefit to prospect accuracy and efficiency improvement. The aim of this study is to develop a HMI software applied to borehole-to-surface electromagnetic transmission system. The HMI software programmed by C language controls transmission system to achieve several main functions, such as frequency transmission, transmission mode alteration, GPS time adjustment, RTC time display and battery power monitoring. From 2009 to 2010, there are four prospecting experiments did for this software. One is in the indoor laboratory, and the others are on the different mineral districts.
