Applying behavioral strategies for student engagement using a robotic educational agent
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-10)
Adaptive learning is an educational method that utilizes computers as an interactive teaching device. Intelligent tutoring systems, or educational agents, use adaptive learning techniques to adapt to each student’s needs ...
Non-contact versus contact-based sensing methodologies for in-home upper arm robotic rehabilitation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-06)
In recent years, robot-assisted rehabilitation has gained momentum as a viable means for improving outcomes for therapeutic interventions. Such therapy experiences allow controlled and repeatable trials and quantitative ...
Examining the learning effects of a low-cost haptic-based virtual reality simulator on laparoscopic cholecystectomy
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-06)
Virtual reality (VR) surgical training can be a potentially useful method for improving practicing surgical skills. However, the current literature on VR training has not discussed the efficacy of VR systems that are useful ...
Validation of Accuracy of the Super Pop VR™ Kinematic Assessment Methodology Using Markerless Versus Marker-Based Motion Capture Systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016)
Therapists and clinicians have been combining virtual reality (VR) systems for rehabilitation purposes with motion capture systems to
accurately keep track of the users' movements and better analyze their
kinematic ...
Terrain Reconstruction of Glacial Surfaces via Robotic Surveying Techniques
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-12)
The capability to monitor natural phenomena using mobile sensing is a benefit to the Earth science community given the potentially large impact that we, as humans, can have on naturally occurring processes. Observable ...
Using Haptic and Auditory Interaction Tools to Engage Students with Visual Impairments in Robot Programming Activities
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-01)
The robotics field represents the integration of multiple facets of computer science and engineering. Robotics-based activities have been shown to encourage K-12 students to consider careers in computing and have even been ...
Robots learn to play: robots emerging role in pediatric therapy
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-05)
There is an estimated 150 million children worldwide living with a disability. For many of these children in the U.S., physical therapy is provided as an intervention mechanism to support the child’s academic, developmental, ...
Applying gaming principles to virtual environments for upper extremity therapy games
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-10)
Home-based care modalities may yield many advantages in therapy and rehabilitation. Virtual systems for rehabilitation are an emerging technology that may be used to enhance the effectiveness of home-based care while ...
Engaging children in math education using a socially interactive humanoid robot
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-10)
Studies have shown that teaching processes, which incorporate robotic-based engagement methods, can approach the effectiveness of human tutors. Not only have these socially engaging robots been used in education, but also ...
The iceberg observation problem: using multiple agents to monitor and observe ablating target sources
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-10)
Ships that operate in polar regions continue to face the threat of floating ice sheets and icebergs generated from an ice ablation process. Systems have been implemented to track these threats, with varying degrees of ...
