  • Systems and methods for multi-robot comedy

    Creator:
    Swaminathan, Janani
    Abstract:
    This thesis seeks to make developing multi-robot comedy performances more accessible to developers and performers, and suggests the use of duo comedy for robot-run research experiments. It involved four main steps: technology development, experimental deployments in the general public, the development of the Multi-Robot Comedy Performance System, and an analysis...

  • Socially Communicative Multi-Robot Motion and Formation: Algorithm Development and Validation

    Creator:
    Bacula, Alexandra
    Abstract:
    Expressive motion has been found to be a highly effective tool in communicating intent and motivation in single robot human-robot interaction, but work in exploring how groups of robots can use motion in interactions with humans is relatively nascent. There are many additional complexities to consider expanding from single robot...

  • Development and Testing of an Integrated Sensor Suite for Cookstove Monitoring and Evaluation

    Creator:
    Miller, Heather M.
    Abstract:
    The health and environmental impacts associated with traditional methods of household cooking and heating have driven the development and dissemination of many types of improved cookstoves and fuels. However, adoption rates, household cooking practices, and even household ventilation can directly influence the magnitude of real-world impacts. Given the highly contextual...

  • Robot vs. Stick: The Impact of Anthropomorphism on the Use of Hand Sanitizer

    Creator:
    Bana, Parthasarathy R.
    Abstract:
    Anthropomorphism is described as the human tendency to see human-like shapes in the environment and robots have the potential to be anthropomorphized. However, it is unclear if anthropomorphic robots are effective in human-robot interactions (HRI). Using the context of hand sanitizer service as an application, this work assessed whether a...

  • Designing and Evaluating a User Interface for Multi-Robot Furniture

    Creator:
    Stoddard, Brett
    Abstract:
    A chair, once placed, will stay put until moved. Or will it? With the rise of technology being embeddable into everyday objects, what if that chair could move itself? Such robotic furniture has been featured in advertisements, art, and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research. Existing methods for operating robotic furniture have...

  • Beyond Data and Learning Outcomes: Understanding the Personal and Social Dimensions of Citizen Science Volunteer Engagement

    Creator:
    Harwell, Todd A.
    Abstract:
    Citizen science is a term broadly used to describe activities that typically involve the public in the process, methods, and standards of scientific research with the aim of advancing scientific knowledge or application. Engagement in citizen science for project and program volunteers is influenced by much more than an individual’s...

  • Historical Change and the Hydrogeomorphic Context of Present-day Floodplain Forests in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

    Creator:
    Bervid, Heather D.
    Abstract:
    Floodplain forests play many important roles in the fluvial processes and environments of large alluvial rivers, including acting as geomorphological influences and habitat for native fish during high flows. Many large, gravel-bed river systems have undergone substantial change in recent centuries, resulting in loss of forested area to agriculture, reduction...

  • Going Beyond Hooked Participants: The Nibble-and-Drop Framework for Classifying Citizen Science Participation

    Creator:
    Fischer, Heather, Cho, Holly, and Storksdieck, Martin
    Abstract:
    Many citizen science (CS) programs aim to grow and sustain a pool of enthusiastic participants who consistently contribute their efforts to a specific scientific endeavor. Consequently, much research has explored CS participants’ motivations and their relationship to participant recruitment and retention. However, much of this research has focused on actively...

  • Olives in Oregon: Grower Survey, On-Farm Propagation, and Orchard Establishment in a Non-Traditional Growing Region

    Creator:
    Barker, Tessa A.
    Abstract:
    Olive production potential in Oregon was researched in a multi-disciplinary approach, including a grower survey, a propagation greenhouse study, and a field study, from 2018 through 2020. The Oregon Olive Grower Survey was designed to collect information relating to orchard establishment and management practices, knowledge and understanding of these practices,...

    Abstract:
    Oregon's estuaries are important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. For these reasons, the Guin Library...
