Abstract:

Robotsystem har använts flitigt under de senaste årtiondena för att skapa automationslösningar i ett flertal områden. De flesta nuvarande automationslösningarna är begränsade av att uppgifterna de kan lösa måste vara repetitiva och förutsägbara. En av anledningarna till detta är att dagens robotsystem saknar förmåga att förstå och resonera om omvärlden. På grund av detta har forskare inom robotik och artificiell intelligens försökt att skapa intelligentare maskiner. Trots att stora framsteg har gjorts då det gäller att skapa robotar som kan fungera och interagera i en mänsklig miljö så finns det för nuvarande inget system som kommer i närheten av den mänskliga förmågan att resonera om omvärlden.

För att förenkla problemet har vissa forskare föreslagit en alternativ lösning till helt självständiga robotar som verkar i mänskliga miljöer. Alternativet är att kombinera människors och maskiners förmågor. Exempelvis så kan en person verka på en avlägsen plats, som kanske inte är tillgänglig för personen i fråga på grund av olika orsaker, genom att använda fjärrstyrning. Vid fjärrstyrning skickar operatören kommandon till en robot som verkar som en förlängning av operatörens egen kropp.

Segmentering och identifiering av rörelser skapade av en operatör kan användas för att tillhandahålla korrekt assistans vid fjärrstyrning eller samarbete mellan människa och maskin. Assistansen sker ofta inom ramen för virtuella fixturer där eftergivenheten hos fixturen kan justeras under exekveringen för att tillhandahålla ökad prestanda i form av ökad precision och minskad tid för att utföra uppgiften.

Den här avhandlingen fokuserar på två aspekter av samarbete mellan människa och maskin. Klassificering av en operatörs rörelser till ett på förhand specificerat tillstånd under en manipuleringsuppgift och assistans under manipuleringsuppgiften baserat på virtuella fixturer. Den specifika tillämpningen som behandlas är manipuleringsuppgifter där en mänsklig operatör styr en robotmanipulator i ett fjärrstyrt eller samarbetande system.

En metod för att följa förloppet av en uppgift medan den utförs genom att använda virtuella fixturer presenteras. Istället för att följa en på förhand specificerad plan så har operatören möjlighet att undvika oväntade hinder och avvika från modellen. För att möjliggöra detta estimeras kontinuerligt sannolikheten att operatören följer en viss trajektorie (deluppgift). Estimatet används sedan för att justera eftergivenheten hos den virtuella fixturen så att ett beslut om hur rörelsen ska fixeras kan tas medan uppgiften utförs.

En flerlagers dold Markovmodell (eng. layered hidden Markov model) används för att modellera mänskliga färdigheter. En gestemklassificerare som klassificerar en operatörs rörelser till olika grundläggande handlingsprimitiver, eller gestemer, evalueras. Gestemklassificerarna används sedan i en flerlagers dold Markovmodell för att modellera en simulerad fjärrstyrd manipuleringsuppgift. Klassificeringsprestandan utvärderas med avseende på brus, antalet gestemer, typen på den dolda Markovmodellen och antalet tillgängliga träningssekvenser. Den flerlagers dolda Markovmodellen tillämpas sedan på data från en trajektorieföljningsuppgift i 2D och 3D med en robotmanipulator för att ge både kvalitativa och kvantitativa resultat. Resultaten tyder på att den flerlagers dolda Markovmodellen är väl lämpad för att modellera trajektorieföljningsuppgifter och att den flerlagers dolda Markovmodellen är robust med avseende på felklassificeringar i de underliggande gestemklassificerarna.


Robot systems have been used extensively during the last decades to provide automation solutions in a number of areas. The majority of the currently deployed automation systems are limited in that the tasks they can solve are required to be repetitive and predicable. One reason for this is the inability of today’s robot systems to understand and reason about the world. Therefore the robotics and artificial intelligence research communities have made significant research efforts to produce more intelligent machines. Although significant progress has been made towards achieving robots that can interact in a human environment there is currently no system that comes close to achieving the reasoning capabilities of humans.

In order to reduce the complexity of the problem some researchers have proposed an alternative to creating fully autonomous robots capable of operating in human environments. The proposed alternative is to allow fusion of human and machine capabilities. For example, using teleoperation a human can operate at a remote site, which may not be accessible for the operator for a number of reasons, by issuing commands to a remote agent that will act as an extension of the operator’s body.

Segmentation and recognition of operator generated motions can be used to provide appropriate assistance during task execution in teleoperative and human-machine collaborative settings. The assistance is usually provided in a virtual fixture framework where the level of compliance can be altered online in order to improve the performance in terms of execution time and overall precision. Acquiring, representing and modeling human skills are key research areas in teleoperation, programming-by-demonstration and human-machine collaborative settings. One of the common approaches is to divide the task that the operator is executing into several sub-tasks in order to provide manageable modeling.

This thesis is focused on two aspects of human-machine collaborative systems. Classfication of an operator’s motion into a predefined state of a manipulation task and assistance during a manipulation task based on virtual fixtures. The particular applications considered consists of manipulation tasks where a human operator controls a robotic manipulator in a cooperative or teleoperative mode.

A method for online task tracking using adaptive virtual fixtures is presented. Rather than executing a predefined plan, the operator has the ability to avoid unforeseen obstacles and deviate from the model. To allow this, the probability of following a certain trajectory sub-task) is estimated and used to automatically adjusts the compliance of a virtual fixture, thus providing an online decision of how to fixture the movement.

A layered hidden Markov model is used to model human skills. A gestem classifier that classifies the operator’s motions into basic action-primitives, or gestemes, is evaluated. The gestem classifiers are then used in a layered hidden Markov model to model a simulated teleoperated task. The classification performance is evaluated with respect to noise, number of gestemes, type of the hidden Markov model and the available number of training sequences. The layered hidden Markov model is applied to data recorded during the execution of a trajectory-tracking task in 2D and 3D with a robotic manipulator in order to give qualitative as well as quantitative results for the proposed approach. The results indicate that the layered hidden Markov model is suitable for modeling teleoperative trajectory-tracking tasks and that the layered hidden Markov model is robust with respect to misclassifications in the underlying gestem classifiers.

Abstract:
An area of study that has received much attention over the past few decades is simulations involving threat assessment in military scenarios. Recently, much research has emerged concerning the recognition of troop movements and formations in non-combat simulations. Additionally, there have been efforts towards the detection and assessment of various types of malicious intentions. One such work by Akridge addressed the issue of Strategic Intention Recognition, but fell short in the detection of tactics that it could not detect without somehow manipulating the environment. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to address the problem of recognizing an opponent's intent in a strategic environment where the system can think ahead in time to see the agent's plan. To approach the problem, a structured form of knowledge called Template-Based Interpretation is borrowed from the work of others and enhanced to reason in a temporally dynamic simulation.

In this thesis, we designed and implemented an algorithm to find approximate solutions to multi-agent systems. We model the problems with a Decentralized Markov Decision Process, and we make use of options and intention recognition to solve the problem. Rather than directly solving the Dec-MDP, which is NEXP-Complete, we instead solve a set of single-agent MDPs, that we can solve in P-Complete, and combine these solutions during execution time. We tested our algorithm on several instances of the Bribed Package Retrieval Problem and we were able to handle problems as large as our MDP solver would allow, which is a big improvement over what optimal Dec-MDP solvers can handle.

Abstract:
In order for assistive robots to collaborate effectively with humans for completing everyday tasks, they must be endowed with the ability to effectively perceive scenes and more importantly, recognize human intentions. As a result, we present in this dissertation a novel scene-dependent human-robot collaborative system capable of recognizing and learning human intentions based on scene objects, the actions that can be performed on them, and human interaction history. The aim of this system is to reduce the amount of human interactions necessary for communicating tasks to a robot. Accordingly, the system is partitioned into scene understanding and intention recognition modules. For scene understanding, the system is responsible for segmenting objects from captured RGB-D data, determining their positions and orientations in space, and acquiring their category labels. This information is fed into our intention recognition component where the most likely object and action pair that the user desires is determined. Our contributions to the state of the art are manifold. We propose an intention recognition framework that is appropriate for persons with limited physical capabilities, whereby we do not observe human physical actions for inferring intentions as is commonplace, but rather we only observe the scene. At the core of this framework is our novel probabilistic graphical model formulation entitled Object-Action Intention Networks. These networks are undirected graphical models where the nodes are comprised of object, action, and object feature variables, and the links between them indicate some form of direct probabilistic interaction. This setup, in tandem with a recursive Bayesian learning paradigm, enables our system to adapt to a user's preferences. We also propose an algorithm for the rapid estimation of position and orientation values of scene objects from single-view 3D point cloud data using a multi-scale superquadric fitting approach. Additionally, we leverage recent advances in computer vision for an RGB-D object categorization procedure that balances discrimination and generalization as well as a depth segmentation procedure that acquires candidate objects from tabletops. We demonstrate the feasibility of the collaborative system presented herein by conducting evaluations on multiple scenes comprised of objects from 11 categories, along with 7 possible actions, and 36 possible intentions. We achieve approximately 81% reduction in interactions overall after learning despite changes to scene structure.

Abstract:
Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Doutor em Informática
The goal of this thesis is twofold. First, intention recognition is studied from an Arti cial Intelligence (AI) modeling perspective. We present a novel and e cient intention recognition method that possesses several important features: (i) The method is context-dependent and incremental, enabled by incrementally constructing a three-layer Bayesian network model as more actions are observed, and in a context-dependent manner, relying on a logic programming knowledge base concerning the context; (ii) The Bayesian network is composed from a knowledge base of readily speci ed and readily maintained Bayesian network fragments with simple structures, enabling an e cient acquisition of the corresponding knowledge base (either from domain experts or else automatically from a plan corpus); and, (iii) The method addresses the issue of intention change and abandonment, and can appropriately resolve the issue of multiple intentions recognition. Several aspects of the method are evaluated experimentally, achieving some de nite success. Furthermore, on top of the intention recognition method, a novel framework for intention-based decision making is provided, illustrating several ways in which an ability to recognize intentions of others can enhance a decision making process. A second subgoal of the thesis concerns that, whereas intention recognition has been extensively studied in small scale interactive settings, there is a major shortage of modeling research with respect to large scale social contexts, namely evolutionary roles and aspects of intention recognition. Employing our intention recognition method and the tools of evolutionary game theory, this thesis explicitly addresses the roles played by intention recognition in the nal outcome of cooperation in large populations of self-regarding individuals. By equipping individuals with the capacity for assessing intentions of others in the course of social dilemmas, we show how intention recognition is selected by natural selection, opening a window of opportunity for cooperation to thrive, even in hard cooperation prone games like the Prisoner's Dilemma. In addition, there are cases where it is di cult, if not impossible, to recognize the intentions of another agent. In such cases, the strategy of proposing commitment, or of intention manifestation, can help to impose or clarify the intentions of others. Again using the tools of evolutionary game theory, we show that a simple form of commitment can lead to the emergence of cooperation; furthermore, the combination of commitment with intention recognition leads to a strategy better than either one by itself. How the thesis should be read? We recommend that the thesis be read sequentially, chapter by chapter [1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8]. However, for those more interested in intention recognition from the AI modeling perspective, i.e. the rst subgoal of the thesis, Chapters 6 and 7 can be omitted and Chapters 4 and 5 are optional [1-2-3-(4)-(5)-8]. In addition, for those more keen on the problem of the evolution of cooperation, i.e. the second subgoal of thesis, Chapter 3 and even Chapter 2, can be omitted [1-(2)-4-5-6-7-8].

Abstract:
In this dissertation work, a methodology is proposed to enable a robot to identify an object to be grasped and its intended grasp configuration while a human is teleoperating a robot towards the desired object. Based on the detected object and grasp configuration, the human is assisted in the teleoperation task. The environment is unstructured and consists of a number of objects, each with various possible grasp configurations. The identification of the object and the grasp configuration is carried out in real time, by recognizing the intention of the human motion. Simultaneously, the human user is assisted to preshape over the desired grasp configuration. This is done by scaling the components of the remote arm end-effector motion that lead to the desired grasp configuration and simultaneously attenuating the components that are in perpendicular directions. The complete process occurs while manipulating the master device and without having to interact with another interface. Intention recognition from motion is carried out by using Hidden Markov Model (HMM) theory. First, the objects are classified based on their shapes. Then, the grasp configurations are preselected for each object class. The selection of grasp configurations is based on the human knowledge of robust grasps for the various shapes. Next, an HMM for each object class is trained by having a skilled teleoperator perform repeated preshape trials over each grasp configuration of the object class in consideration. The grasp configurations are modeled as the states of each HMM whereas the projections of translation and orientation vectors, over each reference vector, are modeled as observations. The reference vectors are the ideal translation and rotation trajectories that lead the remote arm end-effector towards a grasp configuration. During an actual grasping task performed by a novice or a skilled user, the trained model is used to detect their intention. The output probability of the HMM associated with each object in the environment is computed as the user is teleoperating towards the desired object. The object that is associated with the HMM which has the highest output probability, is taken as the desired object. The most likely Viterbi state sequence of the selected HMM gives the desired grasp configuration. Since an HMM is associated with every object, objects can be shuffled around, added or removed from the environment without the need to retrain the models. In other words, the HMM for each object class needs to be trained only once by a skilled teleoperator. The intention recognition algorithm was validated by having novice users, as well as the skilled teleoperator, grasp objects with different grasp configurations from a dishwasher rack. Each object had various possible grasp configurations. The proposed algorithm was able to successfully detect the operator's intention and identify the object and the grasp configuration of interest. This methodology of grasping was also compared with unassisted mode and maximum-projection mode. In the unassisted mode, the operator teleoperated the arm without any assistance or intention recognition. In the maximum-projection mode, the maximum projection of the motion vectors was used to determine the intended object and the grasp configuration of interest. Six healthy and one wheelchair-bound individuals, each executed twelve pick-and-place trials in intention-based assisted mode and unassisted mode. In these trials, they picked up utensils from the dishwasher and laid them on a table located next to it. The relative positions and orientations of the utensils were changed at the end of every third trial. It was observed that the subjects were able to pick-and-place the objects 51% faster and with less number of movements, using the proposed method compared to the unassisted method. They found it much easier to execute the task using the proposed method and experienced less mental and overall workloads. Two able-bodied subjects also executed three preshape trials over three objects in intention-based assisted and maximum projection mode. For one of the subjects, the objects were shuffled at the end of the six trials and she was asked to carry out three more preshape trials in the two modes. This time, however, the subject was made to change their intention when she was about to preshape to the grasp configurations. It was observed that intention recognition was consistently accurate through the trajectory in the intention-based assisted method except at a few points. However, in the maximum-projection method the intention recognition was consistently inaccurate and fluctuated. This often caused to subject to be assisted in the wring directions and led to extreme frustration. The intention-based assisted method was faster and had less hand movements. The accuracy of the intention based method did not change when the objects were shuffled. It was also shown that the model for intention recognition can be trained by a skilled teleoperator and be used by a novice user to efficiently execute a grasping task in teleoperation.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a framework for a mobile robot to escort a human to their destination successfully and efficiently. The proposed technique uses accurate path prediction incorporating human intention to locate the robot in front of the human while walking. Human intention is inferred by the head pose, an effective past-proven implicit indicator of intention, and fused with conventional physics-based motion prediction. The human trajectory is estimated and predicted using a particle filter because of the human's nonlinear and non-Gaussian behavior, and the robot control action is determined from the predicted human pose allowing for anticipative autonomous escorting. Experimental analysis shows that the incorporation of the proposed human intention model reduces human position prediction error by approximately 35% when turning. Furthermore, experimental validation with an omnidirectional mobile robotic platform shows escorting up to 50% more accurate compared to the conventional techniques, while achieving 97% success rate.

Abstract:
Den ständigt ökande mängden av smarta enheter i vår vardag har lett till nya problem inom HCI så som hur vi människor ska interagera med dessa enheter på ett effektivt och enkelt sätt. Än så länge har kontextuellt medvetna system visat sig kunna vara ett möjligt sätt att lösa detta problem. Om ett system hade kunnat automatiskt detektera personers aktiviteter och avsikter, kunde det agera utan någon explicit inmatning från användaren. Ögon har tidigare visat sig avslöja mycket information om en persons kognitiva tillstånd och skulle kunna vara en möjlig modalitet för att extrahera aktivitesinformation ifrån.I denna avhandling har vi undersökt möjligheten att detektera aktiviteter genom att använda en billig, hemmabyggd ögonspårningsapparat. Ett experiment utfördes där deltagarna genomförde aktiviteter i ett kök för att samla in data om deras ögonrörelser. Efter experimentet var färdigt, annoterades, förbehandlades och klassificerades datan med hjälp av en multilayer perceptron--och en random forest--klassificerare.Trots att mängden data var relativt liten, visade resultaten att igenkänningsgraden var mellan 30-40% beroende på vilken klassificerare som användes. Detta bekräftar tidigare forskning att aktivitetsigenkänning genom att analysera ögonrörelser är möjligt. Dock visar det även att det fortfarande är svårt att uppnå en hög igenkänningsgrad.
The increasing amount of smart devices in our everyday environment has created new problems within human-computer interaction such as how we humans are supposed to interact with these devices efficiently and with ease. So far, context-aware systems could be a possible candidate to solve this problem. If a system automatically could detect people's activities and intentions, it could act accordingly without any explicit input from the user. Eyes have previously shown to be a rich source of information about a person's cognitive state and current activity. Because of this, eyes could be a viable input modality for extracting information from. In this thesis, we examine the possibility of detecting human activity by using a low cost, home-built monocular eye tracker. An experiment was conducted were participants performed everyday activities in a kitchen to collect eye movement data. After conducting the experiment, the data was annotated, preprocessed and classified using multilayer perceptron and random forest classifiers.Even though the data set collected was small, the results showed a recognition rate of between 30-40% depending on the classifier used. This confirms previous work that activity recognition using eye movement data is possible but that achieving high accuracy is challenging.

Abstract:
What is the difference between intention and action? To start answering this complex question, we have created a serious game that allows us to capture a large quantity of experimental data and study human behavior. In the game, users catch flies, presented to the left or to the right of the screen, by dragging the tongue of a frog across a touchscreen monitor. The movement of interest has a predefined starting point (the frog) and necessarily transits through a via-point (a narrow corridor) before it proceeds to the chosen left/right direction. Meanwhile, the game collects data about the movement performed by the player. This work is focused on the analysis of such movements. We try to find criteria that will allow us to predict (as early as possible) the direction (left/right) chosen by the player. This is done by analyzing kinematic information (e.g. trajectory, velocity profile, etc.). Also, processing such data according to the dynamical movement primitives approach, allows us to find further criteria that support a classification of human movement. Our preliminary results show that individually considered, participants tend to create and use stereotypical behaviors that can be used to formulate predictions about the subjects’ intention to reach in one direction or the other, early after the onset of the movement.

Abstract:
Les humains et les robots travaillant en toute sécurité et en parfaite harmonie dans un environnement est l'un des objectifs futurs de la communauté robotique. Quand les humains et les robots peuvent travailler ensemble dans le même espace, toute une catégorie de tâches devient prête à l'automatisation, allant de la collaboration pour l'assemblage de pièces, à la manutention de pièces et de materiels ainsi qu'à leur livraison. Garantir la sûreté des humains nécessite que le robot puisse être capable de surveiller la zone de travail, déduire l'intention humaine, et être conscient suffisamment tôt des dangers potentiels afin de les éviter.Des normes existent sur la collaboration entre robots et humains, cependant elles se focalisent à limiter les distances d'approche et les forces de contact entre l'humain et le robot. Ces approches s'appuient sur des processus qui se basent uniquement sur la lecture des capteurs, et ne tiennent pas compte des états futurs ou des informations sur les tâches en question. Un outil clé pour la sécurité entre des robots et des humains travaillant dans un environnement inclut la reconnaissance de l'intention dans lequel le robot tente de comprendre l'intention d'un agent (l'humain) en reconnaissant tout ou partie des actions de l'agent pour l'aider à prévoir les actions futures de cet agent. La connaissance de ces actions futures permettra au robot de planifier sa contribution aux tâches que l'humain doit exécuter ou au minimum, à ne pas se mettre dans une position dangereuse.Dans cette thèse, nous présentons une approche qui est capable de déduire l'intention d'un agent grâce à la reconnaissance et à la représentation des informations de l'état. Cette approche est différente des nombreuses approches présentes dans la littérature qui se concentrent principalement sur la reconnaissance de l'activité (par opposition à la reconnaissance de l'état) et qui « devinent » des raisons pour expliquer les observations. Nous déduisons les relations détaillées de l'état à partir d'observations en utilisant Region Connection Calculus 8 (RCC-8) et ensuite nous déduisons les relations globales de l'état qui sont vraies à un moment donné. L'utilisation des informations sur l'état sert à apporter une contribution plus précise aux algorithmes de reconnaissance de l'intention et à générer des résultats qui sont equivalents, et dans certains cas, meilleurs qu'un être humain qui a accès aux mêmes informations
Humans and robots working safely and seamlessly together in a cooperative environment is one of the future goals of the robotics community. When humans and robots can work together in the same space, a whole class of tasks becomes amenable to automation, ranging from collaborative assembly to parts and material handling to delivery. Proposed standards exist for collaborative human-robot safety, but they focus on limiting the approach distances and contact forces between the human and the robot. These standards focus on reactive processes based only on current sensor readings. They do not consider future states or task-relevant information. A key enabler for human-robot safety in cooperative environments involves the field of intention recognition, in which the robot attempts to understand the intention of an agent (the human) by recognizing some or all of their actions to help predict the human’s future actions.We present an approach to inferring the intention of an agent in the environment via the recognition and representation of state information. This approach to intention recognition is different than many ontology-based intention recognition approaches in the literature as they primarily focus on activity (as opposed to state) recognition and then use a form of abduction to provide explanations for observations. We infer detailed state relationships using observations based on Region Connection Calculus 8 (RCC-8) and then infer the overall state relationships that are true at a given time. Once a sequence of state relationships has been determined, we use a Bayesian approach to associate those states with likely overall intentions to determine the next possible action (and associated state) that is likely to occur. We compare the output of the Intention Recognition Algorithm to those of an experiment involving human subjects attempting to recognize the same intentions in a manufacturing kitting domain. The results show that the Intention Recognition Algorithm, in almost every case, performed as good, if not better, than a human performing the same activity

Abstract:
Retention strategies in the nursing profession have been a significant subject among researchers for decades. The current shortages of these skilled professionals have reached an alarming extent globally, making it difficult for organisations to retain these workers, also in South Africa. It has become evident that nursing professionals from South Africa emigrate to other countries for more lucrative remuneration, sophisticated work resources and better career opportunities, impacting the South African economy and nursing workforce negatively. The general objective of the research was to determine whether a relationship exists between intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, job satisfaction, organisational commitment and turnover intention among a group of South African healthcare workers in the private healthcare sector. Specifically of interest was also to see if nurses’ turnover intention could be predicted by the other variables. A cross-sectional survey design was used. A convenience sample of 152 healthcare workers was obtained from three private hospitals in the Gauteng and North-West provinces. A measuring instrument for intrinsic and extrinsic rewards was adapted from a previous study, and applied with measures of job satisfaction, affective organisational commitment and turnover intention. Results indicated that the measure of rewards did not present with sufficient reliability, and it was subjected to factor analysis. This delivered two reliable factors, which were labelled Objective experience of rewards and Perceived lacking organisational support. Objective experience of rewards showed to be significantly related to job satisfaction and inversely to turnover intention, and Perceived lacking organisational support was significantly negatively related to job satisfaction and positively to turnover intention. It was also seen that both job satisfaction and objective experience of rewards showed predictive value in terms of nurses’ turnover intention. Conclusions and limitations regarding this study were made, and recommendations regarding the profession and future research are made.

Abstract:
Das Gedächtnis speichert nicht nur Informationen, sondern mitunter auch die Umstände, in denen diese Informationen erworben wurden, sogenannte Kontextinformationen. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat daher zum Ziel, anhand von Laboraufgaben und anhand einer komplexen sporttechnischen Fertigkeit den Einblick in die Wirkweise von Kontextinformationen im motorischen Bereich zu vertiefen und theoretische Modelle zu prüfen. In zwei Experimenten wurde zunächst der Frage nachgegangen, ob in-zidentelle Kontextinformation eine diskriminative Funktion einnehmen und den Abruf zweier ähnlicher Sequenzen erleichtern kann. Es wurde ein Ausbleiben der Interferenz-Effekte aufgrund der inzidentellen Kontextinformationen vermutet. Beide Experimente erfolgten im Labor im Design des Interferenzparadigmas. In Laborexperiment 1 (N = 30) lernten die Probanden der Experimentalgruppen an zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen je eine dynamische Bewegungssequenz. Die Probanden der Kontrollgruppen lernten entweder nur die erste Sequenz (KG1) oder nur die zweite (KG2). Für alle Probanden waren die Sequenzen jeweils mit einer Kontextinformation verknüpft. An Tag 3 wurden Retentions- und Transfertests durchgeführt. Durch inzidentelle Kontextinformation alleine konnte keine Kontextabhängigkeit erzielt und retroaktive Interferenzeffekte nicht verhindert werden. In Laborexperiment II (N = 20) stellte sich für die zweite Bewegungssequenz durch zusätzlich erzeugte Intention eine höhere Wiedererkennungsleistung sowie Kontextabhängigkeit ein, dennoch wiesen die Probanden retroaktive Interferenzeffekte auf. Zusätzlich trat proaktive Interferenz auf (Experiment II). Zum anderen ermöglichte es eine umfangreiche Regeländerung im Basketball, eine mögliche Kontextabhängigkeit in einer komplexen sporttech-nischen Fertigkeit zu untersuchen. Im daraus entwickelten Feldexperiment mit N = 20 Basketballern mit hoher Expertise zum 3-Punkte-Wurf konnte gezeigt werden, dass Bodenmarkierungen als inzidentelle Kontextinformationen zu begreifen sind und Einfluss auf die Leistung haben. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit werden in Beziehung zu aktuellen Ergebnissen der Literatur sowie in Bezug auf das perception-control-Modell von Glover (2004) und dem MOSAIC-Modell von Wolpert und Kawato (1998) diskutiert. Praktische Ableitungen werden dargestellt
Our memory not only stores information that seem important to us but also circumstances, surroundings where information are gathered – so called contextual information. The present work therefore aims to sharpen the understanding of the mechanisms underpinning this phenomenon in the field of motor learning and to investigate different theoretical models by two experiments with sequence learning tasks and additionally by a complex sports skill. Two experiments were conducted to investigate any discriminative character of incidental context information which would facilitate the recall of two similar movement sequences. An absence of interference-effects was hypothesized. Both experiments took place in accordance with a pro-/retroactive interference design. In experiment 1 (N = 30) subjects of the experimental group (EG) learned two dynamic sequences (S1 and S2) on two successive days while members of the control groups only learned either S1 or S2. Incidental Context information was provided by different background colors. On day 3 retention and transfertests were conducted for all groups. Results showed that incidental Context information alone could not avoid retroactive interference effect (Experiment 1). Directing participants’ attention towards the incidental contexts (Experiment 2) resulted in higher recognition performance and context dependency. Nevertheless, retroactive interference effects were found. Surprisingly, participants of the EG additionally showed proactive interference effects. A substantial change in Basketball rules provided the chance to systematically study the influence of visual context information on complex motor skill. In the first step of this experiment twenty Basketball players took 3-point-shots from the old distance. In a second step these experts took 3-points shots from the new, greater distance with either the old floor-markings or the new floor-markings. Results of this experiment show that floor markings do serve as incidental context information and do influence athlete’s performance. The Results of the present work are discussed in reference to other studies and two models, namely Glover’s perception-control-model (2004) and the MOSAIC-modell from Wolpert and Kawato (1998)

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of manager behaviour on the turnover intentions of employees with scarce and critical skills in the mining industry. A cross-sectional survey design was used. A purposive sample (n = 505) was used to collect the data at a platinum operation. Questionnaires were given to employees with scarce and critical skills who fall within the C1 - D1 Patterson level range. Cronbach alpha coefficients were used to assess the reliability and validity of the measuring instruments. All the factors relating to manager's behaviour proved reliable, with the exception of feedback, and recommendations were made to improve the reliability of this specific scale. Results indicated statistically significant relationships between job satisfaction, recognition, feedback, communication from the manager and supervisor support, while a lack of job satisfaction, recognition, feedback, communication from the manager and supervisor support could be applied to predict turnover intentions of employees with scarce and critical skills. The moderating effect of supervisor social support between levels of recognition and turnover intention was supported. Based on the results obtained, conclusions were made after which recommendations were made for future research.

Abstract:
Psychological research has demonstrated that subjects shown animations consisting of nothing more than simple geometric shapes perceive the shapes as being alive, having goals and intentions, and even engaging in social activities such as chasing and evading one another. While the subjects could not directly perceive affective state, motor commands, or the beliefs and intentions of the actors in the animations, they still used intentional language to describe the moving shapes. The purpose of this dissertation is to design, develop, and evaluate computational representations and learning algorithms that learn to recognize the behaviors of agents as they perform and execute different activities. These activities take place within simulations, both 2D and 3D. Our goal is to add as little hand-crafted knowledge to the representation as possible and to produce algorithms that perform well over a variety of different activity types. Any patterns found in similar activities should be discovered by the learning algorithm and not by us, the designers. In addition, we demonstrate that if an artificial agent learns about activities through participation, where it has access to its own internal affective state, motor commands, etc., it can then infer the unobservable affective state of other agents.

This dissertation addresses the computational implementation of intentional attention and automated recognition in the human vision. An Intention-oriented Computational Visual Attention (ICVA) model is proposed to extract intentional features from images and eventually to find out attentive spots. An intention about favorite colors or target objects is expressed as a combination of preference vectors and topological relationships. Intentional features are extracted from the optical excitation data by matching the preference vectors. Attentive spots are found by fuzzy inference to fulfill the topological relationships. Synthesized Affine Invariant Function (SAIF) is derived to uniquely represent two-dimension shapes subject to affine transformations. SAIF is essentially a parameterized contour signal derived with the Synthesized Feature Signals (SFSs). It is shown Wavelet, Fourier, or Fourier cosine transforms can be used to deduce SFSs from a contour signal. Specifically, SAIF uses SFSs involving every component except translation of the contour signal. Hence, SAIF has minimum information loss in representing the contour signal for automated recognition. The invariance property, representative property, robustness against noise and correctness in the shape recognition of several significant SAIFs are compared experimentally. It is shown SAIFs outperform other affine invariant functions and the SAIF using four SFSs calculated with the dyadic wavelet transform is the most practical implementation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of consumer involvement on sports lottery and the relation between service recognition and repurchase behavior intention. A total of 290 valid responses, out of 400 distributed questionnaires, from customers of sports lottery aged 18 or older in Taipei region were returned. The study concluded: 1. The respondents of this study were mostly males, aged 21-30 years old, purchasing 3 times or more a week with less than NT$1,000 each, making less than NT$18,000 monthly, and spending 0.005%-0.6% of their total income for sports lottery. 2. The respondents demonstrated above average degree of involvement towards sports lottery. Male, unmarried and high purchasing frequency customers tended to have a higher involvement level than female, married, and low frequent and first-time buyers, respectively. 3. Respondent demonstrated having high expectation on service quality, with “Assurance” being the most desirable service aspect. However, the overall service quality failed to meet respondents’ expectation, with the “Tangibles” factor scoring the least and “Empathy and Responsiveness” the highest. 4. “Empathy and Responsiveness”, “Interest”, “Pleasure”, “Prize” and “Male” were most effective predictors of customers’ repurchasing behavior intention, whereas “Empathy and Responsiveness” and “Interest” were most effective variables in predicting “Recommending to Others” intention.

There are a lot of documents regarding service recovery presented in the domestic literatures. Most of them focused upon the issues of customer responses involving customer satisfaction , customer relationship , and future intentions etc. However ,those documents rarely probed into the change of repurchasing intentions under the disconfirmation of recognition with service recovery between suppliers and customers in the actual situation .This study will provide the influences of repurchasing intention under the disconfirmation of recognition with service recovery by way of compensation effectiveness on the recovery attribution through perceived fairness. This study also finds out the disconfirmation of the perceived service recovery would produce the different satisfaction through data analysis and influence the repurchasing intention indirectly. It means that positive satisfaction through the distributive justice among justice levels would take place while the perceived perfor- mance consisted with expectation after service recovery . On the other hand , It would enhance the satisfaction via distributive justice while the performance are larger than expectation . On the contrary , it would shape a clear decline on the satisfaction via distributive justice , only when the perceived performance are less than the expectation , even impacted customer’s repurchasing intention directly. Integrated satisfaction would be produced by service recovery attribution via distributive justice. Owing to the disconfirmation of recognition with service recovery , the influence for repurchasing intention through the perceived justice are not alike as well. In essence , to the fastener industries , the disconfirmation among recognition with service recovery could make somewhat influences on repurchasing intentions. Different satisfactions with service recovery would affect repurchasing intentions. The higher satisfaction degree is , the higher repurchasing intention is. Satisfaction , trust , and commitment are the antecedent index to future intention. Trust and commitment are also the primary variable for future intentions besides the factor of satisfaction. Therefore , the higher trust or commitment is to the organization , the higher repurchasing intention is to customer. The viewpoint mentioned above had been proved in the text written by Garbarrino and Johnson (1999). Trust and commitment have been viewed as a determinant of future intention on the repurchased products. It meant that studying customer’s repurchasing intention may convert integrated satisfaction into relationship marketing. Key Words : Service Recovery , Perceived Justice , Satisfaction , Trust , Commitment , Repurchasing Intention .

In 2017, Taiwan government plans to initiate a comprehensive renewal of the seventh generation electronic identity card (eID), combined with existing cards, including automobile driver license, health insurance card, individual certificate and electronic wallet. In view of the imminent implementation of new government policies, this study aims to explore the general public attitudes toward the new electronic identification with electronic money. With the adoption of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as a research framework, factors of privacy, trust and security were also included to develop a questionnaire to investigate research objectives. Survey with the developed questionnaire was applied across various age, gender, occupation, and income groups. Partial least squares analysis with the software Smart PLS was adopted to evaluate the users’ acceptance of the electronic identification. The results show that of the five studied factors (attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, privacy, and trust and security), attitude and security confidence are the most significant factors affecting the willingness of acceptance. Therefore, in the implementation of e-government services and related policies, government needs to focus on offering substantive incentives and the assurance of the information security, to enhance user’s attitude toward the new eID.

In recent years, financial technology (FinTech), turning into a popular term, has had innovative applications in various sectors and continuously creates actual application value. Meanwhile, FinTech has become a trend; it is inevitable that life insurance companies are working on digitization, especially for mobile insurance applications and service efficiency. On the other hand, the popularity of tablet has led to the rise of digital services. Therefore, in order to investigate the perceptions, differences, acceptance and satisfaction when solicitors provide mobile insurance services, the study conducts literature analysis and digital questionnaires. A sampling survey was carried out on both staff and field staff in a life insurance company located in east Taiwan. The data of the sampling questionnaire was used to analyze the users’ cognitive intention of the mobile insurance services and the level of acceptance on promotion, and to study the development of life insurance companies in the mobile services. Above all, time cost shows significantly when using mobile insurance services are able to deal with more business but it takes the same time as before. The study investigates the influences on both the solicitors’ willingness using the mobile services and the acceptance of mobile service users. The results of the study could provide a guideline for life insurance companies that choosing mobile insurance services based on the company's strategies and goals is able to promote effectively the users’ willingness and solicitors’ work performance.

In today's already competitive global market, companies are continually building stronger relationships with consumers to enhance consumer purchase motivating factors. This leaves the already overpopulated market with increased decision-making situations. As such, effective advertising appeal and a unique brand image can trigger consumer emotions, attitudes and feelings towards a brand's level of recognition and trust, which in turn can influence purchasing motivation. By examining these relationships and through reference to previously published papers, this paper analyzes and discusses advertising appeal, brand image, brand recognition, brand attitude and trust in consumer purchasing decisions. In addition, this paper presents primary research findings developed through consumer research in order to ascertain the correlation between advertising appeal and brand image; and how they can in turn shape brand recognition, brand attitude and trust. This research is based on both independent and intervening variables. Independent variables including: advertising appeal (rational and emotional), brand image (functional and symbolic) and brand experience. Intervening variables including: brand recognition, brand attitude and trust. The main methods of analysis are Cronbach's alpha reliability and validity test, and both correlative analysis and regressive analysis. These methods allows for formulation of statistical evidence leading to the understanding of these variables. The final research findings suggest there is an obvious link between a brand's rational advertising and its functional image; and a brand's emotional advertising and its symbolic image. Therefore, the most effective impact on brand image can be made through these means. Overall, there exist true relationships between advertising strategies, brand image, brand recognition, brand attitude and trust in consumer purchasing decisions.

The aging of the population causes a great focus on health consciousness and brings huge business opportunities to massage chairs. This research aims to examine the effect of product recognition on purchase intention of the consumers. The mediating effect of perceived value on the relationship between product recognition and purchase intention is also investigated. We collected 501 customers through a convenience sampling method and analyzed these relationships by using the multiple regression model. The results confirm that product recognition does have a positive influence on the purchase intention of massage chairs, and that Perceived value also has a positive effect on the purchase intention. Moreover, perceived value has a mediating effect on the relationship between product recognition and purchase intention. That is, product recognition facilitates the perceived value of consumer, and perceived value in turn enhances his purchase intention. Finally, in addition to the implication of the empirical results, the directions for future research on related issues are also suggested.

In recent years, China's economy is growing rapidly and which potential is attracting worldwide attention. As the saturation and popularity of smartphones, the numbers of apps also grow fast. However, the developers have to face the challenge is how to make an app which can stand out from numerous apps and attract user's attention in the golabl market. Users will see the icon at first sight when they search for apps. Therefore, icon would be a crucial role to attract user's attention. There are two purposes on our study. The first one is using five kinds of icon design attributes in twelve app categories to observe which attribute is most attractive. The second one is exploring the relation among icon design attributes, recognition, and subjective familiarity for download intention in China. In our result, we found there had a most influential icon design attribute in different categories of apps. Besides, recognition and subjective familiarity can affect download intention significantly and positively. Through our study, we can provide helpful suggestions for developers to design suitable icons on apps, and further to let users have wonderful impressions and increase users’ download intentions.

The continuous rise in unemployment rate and decline in economic growth have been a strong contrast to the skyrocketing house prices and inflation. Young men in all corners of the world are faced with the same predicament—low wage and high unemployment rate. In the US, entrepreneurship education has been used as one of the effective means to combat this unemployment problem. In this era of knowledge economy, entrepreneurship has become a universal trend. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of individual “creativity”, “prior knowledge”, “self-efficacy” and “social capital” in social networks on “entrepreneurial alertness” and “opportunity identification” as well as how “entrepreneurial alertness” is related to “opportunity identification” and “entrepreneurial intention”. Based on the theory of entrepreneurial opportunity identification and development introduced by Ardichivili et al. (2003), this study developed a questionnaire to collect empirical evidence. This theory suggests that personality traits, social networks and prior knowledge of entrepreneurs are antecedents of entrepreneurial alertness to opportunity identification. However, very few domestic researchers have probed into the relationship between entrepreneurial alertness and opportunity identification and factors affecting this relationship. Therefore, this study further integrated the entrepreneurial alertness model proposed by Tang et al. (2012) into the research model to investigate the effects of each subdimension of entrepreneurial alertness. Results showed that entrepreneurship is a gradual process. Among college students, only those with sufficient creativity and social capital (i.e., environmental support) are able to search and collect needed information. Not everyone is able to organize entrepreneurial information obtained from various sources and identify opportunities for entrepreneurship. Self-efficacy and prior knowledge are elements essential to identification of entrepreneurial opportunities. Lack of self-confidence and self-efficacy is still the main barrier to entrepreneurship of most college students. Therefore, this study suggested that the government contemplate how to encourage entrepreneurship, cultivate job competencies, and assist students in career planning and decision-making through family education and school education.
