  • Implementation of Distributed Localized Communications

    Creator:
    Snyder, Thomas
    Abstract:
    Artificial collectives are useful for accomplishing tasks that require teamwork from multiple simple robots. Multiple robot and collective testbeds have been developed, yet none stay committed to leverage the local interactions, group size, and imperfect information assumptions that strengthen biological collectives. A review of the collective and multiple robot literature,...

  • Open, online, interactive visualizations for learning about Gaussian mixture models

    Creator:
    Allen, Stuart
    Abstract:
    We construct a website to explain how Gaussian mixture models can be optimized using the expectation maximization algorithm. Previous free, online material on this process has been extremely limited. All sources surveyed failed to entirely describe our identified criteria for an in-depth description and useful visualizations. After surveying a variety...

  • Designing surveys to investigate the impacts of wildfire smoke on human health

    Creator:
    Attridge, Samuel J.
    Abstract:
    Wildfires are increasing in frequency. One area of research interest centers on the pollutants within wildfire smoke, including but not limited to particulate matter and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These chemicals are associated with exacerbation of respiratory, cardiovascular, dermatological, reproductive, oncological, gastrointestinal, and infectious conditions. As wildfires becoming increasingly prevalent, it...

  • Writing A Detailed Introduction to String Theory

    Creator:
    Svesko, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    String theory, one of the more popular approaches to quantizing gravity, is a highly complex theory, involving high level mathematics and physics. But the basic ideas of string theory are not inaccessible, even to the undergraduate. This document acts as report to my thesis project, the writing of A Detailed...

  • A validity study for the kaizen event kick-off survey

    Creator:
    Mitchell, Rebecca M.
    Abstract:
    This study was conducted to support a research project sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The purpose of the NSF research project was to determine how to design kaizen events that result in both short term and long term performance improvements. One of the tools developed to evaluate the...

  • Rhizome: Towards An Information Centric OS Shell

    Creator:
    Corbett, Kira
    Abstract:
    Rhizome is an information-centric model that uses different interaction methods than traditional desktop systems. I built Rhizome with the specific use case of sharing a photo to observe people using the Rhizome operating system (OS) shell and modern OS shells. The purpose of this is to measure the cognitive load...

  • Innovative Experimental Methods in Human-Robot Interaction

    Creator:
    Wadgaonkar, Chinmay P.
    Abstract:
    User studies in human-robot interaction and social robotics in general involve human participants and their reactions, observations and expectations of robots. This thesis presents two innovative experimental methods aimed at gaining access to high-stakes social data not typically collectable with traditional user studies. The Actor Method provides access to data...

  • Creating and Assessing Cozmo Behaviors for Expressing Emotion

    Creator:
    Chan, Lilian C.
    Abstract:
    As human-robot interaction becomes more commonplace, roboticists should understand how robot behaviors are perceived by people to avoid misunderstandings. In our lab, we are exploring the use of a Cozmo as an interactive, break-taking aid in workplace settings. Before our interactive aid can be released into the wild, we must...

  • Fixing Inclusivity Bugs: Information Processing Styles and Learning Styles

    Creator:
    Steine-Hanson, Zoe K.
    Abstract:
    Most software systems today do not support cognitive diversity. Further, because of differences in problem-solving styles that cluster by gender, software that poorly supports cognitive diversity can also embed gender biases. To help software professionals fix gender bias “bugs” related to people’s problem-solving styles for information processing and learning of...
