Abstract:

A robot should be able to autonomously modify and utilize its environment to assist its task completion. While mobile manipulators and humanoid robots have both locomotion and manipulation capabilities, planning systems typically just consider one or the other. In traditional motion planning the planner attempts to find a collision free path from the robot's current configuration to some goal configuration. In general, this process entirely ignores the fact that the robot has manipulation capabilities. This is in contrast to how humans naturally act - utilizing their manipulation capabilities

Abstract:

Whilst considerable research has found that people tend to underestimate their task completion times (e.g., Buehler et al., 1994), factors that might influence the accuracy of temporal predictions have received little empirical treatment. The research presented in this thesis identified two distinct factors that mediated time estimation accuracy and bias. One factor was task duration, whereas the other factor was the person’s prior experience of the task. There was evidence that having prior experience of performing all or a substantial part of the same task enabled participants to more accura

Abstract:

The prevalence of childhood obesity, and its associated health and psychosocial implications, has risen and continues to be of concern. Children appear to hold anti-fat attitudes and stigmatise those who are seen as overweight or obese. Evidence suggests that children as young as three years old are known to hold anti-fat attitudes towards their obese peers, but as a result of the methodologies used in obesity studies, it is thought this may be an overestimation. The present study aimed to investigate young children’s obesity stigma in the context of a story completion task. It was hypothesise

Abstract:

Behavioral momentum theory (BMT) provides a theoretical framework for studying the persistence of behavior when challenged. The typical experimental arrangement to study persistence involves reinforcing a behavior according to a multiple schedules design. Unique schedules of reinforcement are programmed to each component. When steady-state responding occurs, the schedules of reinforcement are disrupted by a challenge condition (e.g., extinction, distraction, or prefeeding). The multiple schedules component that maintains the greatest level of responding during disruption is described as being

Abstract:

An effective autonomous robot performing dangerous or menial tasks will need to act under significant time and energy constraints. At task time, the amount of effort a robot spends planning its motion directly detracts from its total performance. Manipulation tasks, however, present challenges to efficient motion planning. Tightly coupled steps (e.g. choices of object grasps or placements) allow poor early decisions to render subsequent steps difficult, which this encourages longer planning horizons. However, an articulated robot situated within a geometrically complex and dynamic environment

Abstract:

When a robotic system executes a task, there are a number of responsibilities that belong to either the operator and/or the robot.

The system must also handle environmental constraints that limit the region of operability and complicate the execution of tasks.

More and more tasks need to be performed in our daily lives, and everyone is overwhelmed with a tremendous amount of duties, in both the private and/or work context. This master thesis represents research regarding reminders and if it influences motivation and task completion in the short-run of the Millennial generation. Data collection was gathered from 32 countries to have a source of comparison, but the focus is on Germans. Two scales suggested by Lynch Jr., et al., (2010) (propensity to plan) and Fries and Lang, (2006) (approach tendency [hope of success] and avoidance tendency [fear of
