Restaurant chatbot is an automated system for carrying out day to day works in a restaurant such as ordering, reservations, FAQs at reception, and many more tasks which are not that much important but take much time of receptionist while working. Chatbot is a system backed by an Artificial Intelligence technology to learn, adapt and work according to surrounding environment. In this particular system, development of a chatbot is done with the help of API provided by IBM named as WATSON to create, train, and deploy AI and ML models for various purposes to cut down the too much efforts done while developing an AI/ML model. System helps out staff at restaurant to carry out above stated tasks with less to no efforts. Then, staff can give attention to other important tasks related to their routine. Many restaurants and similar organizations offer services like webpages for reservations, helplines with the help of call centers. But these systems are not much efficient and doesn’t answer much of the questions of customer. Chat bots form a solid surface for this situation, answers much of the questions of customers, carry out some operations available online like collecting online payments, reserving rooms, answering different questions like address of an organization, facilities provided by them, vacant rooms available or not and many more. For the development of a restaurant chatbot as a last year university project on experimental basis, adding large facilities is avoided. Data sets for training chatbot model is collected from a leading website KAGGLE, which provides various data sets for models. A chatbot is a conversation agent where a computer program is made to simulate an intelligent conversation. It can use user inputs in several formats such as text, voice. For such different open-source platforms can be found. A Chatbot plays an important role in human-machine interaction. A Chatbot has three modules: the user interface, an interpreter, and a knowledge base. It is a program that tries to simulate the typed text in such a manner that human feels like it's talking to another human, not a machine. There are many chatbots that are on the internet for different purposelike education, customer service, entertainment.

Face expression recognition (FER) has gained very much attraction to researchers in the field of computer vision because of its major usefulness in security, robotics, and HMI (Human-Machine Interaction) systems. We propose a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) architecture to address FER. To show the effectiveness of the proposed model, we evaluate the performance of the model on JAFFE dataset. We derive a concise CNN architecture to address the issue of expression classification. Objective of various experiments is to achieve convincing performance by reducing computational overhead. The proposed CNN model is very compact as compared to other state-of-the-art models. We could achieve highest accuracy of 97.10% and average accuracy of 90.43% for top 10 best runs without any pre-processing methods applied, which justifies the effectiveness of our model. Furthermore, we have also included visualization of CNN layers to observe the learning of CNN.

Electric power wheelchairs (EPWs) enhance the mobility capability of the elderly and the disabled, while the human-machine interaction (HMI) determines how well the human intention will be precisely delivered and how human-machine system cooperation will be efficiently conducted. A bibliometric quantitative analysis of 1154 publications related to this research field, published between 1998 and 2020, was conducted. We identified the development status, contributors, hot topics, and potential future research directions of this field. We believe that the combination of intelligence and humanization of an EPW HMI system based on human-machine collaboration is an emerging trend in EPW HMI methodology research. Particular attention should be paid to evaluating the applicability and benefits of the EPW HMI methodology for the users, as well as how much it contributes to society. This study offers researchers a comprehensive understanding of EPW HMI studies in the past 22 years and latest trends from the evolutionary footprints and forward-thinking insights regarding future research.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a broad, umbrella term that encompasses the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence. The aim of this study is to assess the radiology community’s attitude in Saudi Arabia toward the applications of AI. Methods: Data for this study were collected using electronic questionnaires in 2019 and 2020. The study included a total of 714 participants. Data analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics (version 25). Results: The majority of the participants (61.2%) had read or heard about the role of AI in radiology. We also found that radiologists had statistically different responses and tended to read more about AI compared to all other specialists. In addition, 82% of the participants thought that AI must be included in the curriculum of medical and allied health colleges, and 86% of the participants agreed that AI would be essential in the future. Even though human–machine interaction was considered to be one of the most important skills in the future, 89% of the participants thought that it would never replace radiologists. Conclusion: Because AI plays a vital role in radiology, it is important to ensure that radiologists and radiographers have at least a minimum understanding of the technology. Our finding shows an acceptable level of knowledge regarding AI technology and that AI applications should be included in the curriculum of the medical and health sciences colleges.

The European Directive on Safety and Health at Work and the following normatives have the scope to provide high levels of health and safety at work, based on some general principles managing activities and including the risk assessment to continuously improve processes and workplaces. However, the working area changes and brings new risks and challenges for workers. Several of them are associated with new technologies, which determine complex human–machine interactions, leading to an increased mental and emotional strain. To reduce these emerging risks, their understanding and assessment are important. Although great efforts have already been made, there is still a lack of conceptual frameworks for analytically assessing human–machine interaction. This paper proposes a systematic approach that, beyond including the classification in domains to explain the complexity of the human–machine interaction, accounts for the information processing of the human brain. Its validation is shown in a major accident hazard industry where a smart safety device supporting crane related operations is used. The investigation is based on the construction of a questionnaire for the collection of answers about the feeling of crane operators when using the device and the evaluation of the Cronbach’s alpha to measure of the reliability of the assessment.
