Investigating the human impact of perceptually optimized motions for immersive telepresence robots
No full textAbstract
Telepresence is the ability to be in a remote location using technology. Robotic telepresence through a Virtual Reality (VR) Head-Mounted Display (HMD), here referred to as immersive robotic telepresence, increases the field of view for the person aboard the telepresence robot and thus improves the illusion of being present at the robot’s location. Immersive robotic telepresence is used for many applications, including remote education, remote exploration, search-and-rescue, clinical care, therapeutics, and assistive technology for aging and physical limitation. However, a significant barrier to the further use of this technology is VR sickness, a constellation of symptoms similar to motion sickness which can result from VR HMD use. Other aspects related to the motions of the telepresence robot, such as the forward speed and number of turns, can also have a positive or negative impact.
To address these concerns, this article-based dissertation investigates user experience in immersive robotic telepresence. First, a mathematical framework for robot motion planning that accounts for user comfort criteria, called "Human Perception-Optimized Planning" (H-POP), is introduced. Robot paths created with H-POP were compared to a path created with a traditional path planning algorithm, the Rapidly exploring Random Tree (RRT). VR sickness and other aspects of the paths were examined to determine how these factors impacted the users. One of the optimized paths and the RRT path were then used to induce VR sickness in another set of participants while their brain activity was measured. Self-reported levels of VR sickness were found to be associated with a measure of cognitive function, the P3b, and the amount of errors on a secondary task, indicating that VR sickness induced in current generation HMDs had quantifiable impacts on cognition and performance. Changes in the P3b can be used to evaluate many types of VR experiences, and H-POP can be used for motion planning for any type of vehicle, so both provide value beyond the scope of this work.
In sum, this dissertation provides three major contributions to the research and development community. First, it offers a framework for motion planning which accounts for user comfort criteria. Second, it discusses an evaluation of different features, such as the turns and distance from objects, that affect user experience. Finally, it provides evidence of the deleterious consequences of VR sickness on attention and performance. These results can inform developers of immersive telepresence so that VR sickness can be ameliorated and the comfort and enjoyment for users can be improved.

Etäläsnäolo on kyky olla etäyhteyden päässä teknologiaa hyödyntäen. Virtuaalitodellisuus (VR) –lasien (HMD) kautta tapahtuva etäläsnäolo, jota kutsutaan tässä yhteydessä immersiiviseksi etäläsnäoloksi robotin avulla, kasvattaa näkökenttää etäyhteysrobotissa "olevalle" henkilölle ja parantaa siten illuusiota siitä, että hän on läsnä robotin sijaintipaikassa. Immersiivista etäläsnäoloa käytetään monissa eri sovelluksissa, kuten etäopetuksessa, etsintä- ja pelastustoiminnassa, kliinisessä hoidossa, terapiassa sekä ikääntymistä ja vammaisuutta tukevassa apuvälineteknologiassa. Merkittävä este tämän tekniikan jatkuvalle käytölle on kuitenkin VR-sairaus, liikuntapahoinvointia muistuttava oireyhtymä, joka voi johtua VR-lasien käytöstä. Myös muilla etäläsnäolorobotin liikkeisiin liittyvillä seikoilla, kuten etenemisnopeudella ja käännösten määrällä, voi olla myönteisiä tai kielteisiä vaikutuksia.
Näiden huolenaiheiden käsittelemiseksi tässä artikkelipohjaisessa väitöskirjassa tutkitaan käyttäjäkokemusta immersiivisessa robottietäläsnäolossa. Ensin esitellään matemaattinen kehys robotin liikesuunnittelua varten, jossa otetaan huomioon käyttäjän mukavuuskriteerit ja jota kutsutaan nimellä "Human Perception-Optimized Planning" (H-POP). H-POP:n avulla luotuja robottipolkuja verrattiin perinteisellä polkusuunnittelualgoritmilla, Rapidly exploring Random Tree (RRT) -algoritmilla luotuun polkuun. VR-pahoinvointia ja muita polkujen aiheuttamia vaikutuksia tutkittiin sen määrittämiseksi, miten nämä tekijät vaikuttivat käyttäjiin. Yhden optimoidun polun ja RRT-polun avulla aiheutettiin sitten VR-pahoinvointi toiselle joukolle osallistujia, samalla kun heidän aivotoimintaansa mitattiin. Itseraportoidun VR-pahoinvoinnin tason havaittiin olevan yhteydessä kognitiivisten toimintojen mittariin, P3b:hen, ja virheiden määrään toissijaisessa tehtävässä, mikä osoittaa, että nykyisen sukupolven HMD-laitteilla aiheutetulla VR-pahoinvoinnilla oli mitattavissa olevia vaikutuksia kognitioon ja suorituskykyyn. P3b:n muutoksia voidaan käyttää monenlaisten VR-kokemusten arviointiin, ja H-POP:ta voidaan käyttää minkä tahansa ajoneuvotyypin liikesuunnitteluun, joten molemmilla on arvoa tämän työn soveltamisalan ulkopuolella.
Yhteenvetona voidaan todeta, että tämä väitöskirja tarjoaa kolme merkittävää panosta tutkimus- ja kehitysyhteisölle. Ensinnäkin se tarjoaa liikesuunnittelun kehyksen, jossa otetaan huomioon käyttäjän mukavuuskriteerit. Toiseksi siinä käsitellään eri ominaisuuksien, kuten käännösten ja kohteiden etäisyyden, arviointia, jotka vaikuttavat käyttäjien kokemukseen. Lopuksi se tarjoaa näyttöä VR-sairauden haitallisista seurauksista tarkkaavaisuuteen ja suorituskykyyn. Nämä tulokset voivat antaa tietoa immersiivisen etäläsnäolonkehittäjille, jotta VR-pahoinvointia voidaan lievittää ja käyttäjien mukavuutta ja nautintoa parantaa.

No full textA partir de la información obtenida de
la red georreferenciada de freatímetros se
determinó el comportamiento de la profundidad
freática en el Departamento Lavalle y
en particular en el Distrito Costa de Araujo.
Se agruparon las profundidades freáticas en
intervalos 0,5 m desde la superficie hasta los
2,5 m. Se calcularon y analizaron las profundidades
medias y mínimas de cada freatímetro
para la serie 1983-2002 (19 años) y las medias
correspondientes a marzo, junio, septiembre
y diciembre. Utilizando el software Arc View
se representaron gráfica y numéricamente
las superficies de terreno para los diferentes
intervalos. Con esta información se confeccionaron
tablas de intervalos de profundidad
freática y en base a ello se calificó el Riesgo
Freático en Bajo, Medio y Alto, asumiendo
un valor de profundidad mínima admisible de
1,5 m para prácticas de cultivos perennes. Se
presenta la discusión referente a la salinidad
de las aguas freáticas y su vinculación con la
clorosis en vid.
Resultados: el 32 y 41% de las superficies
del Distrito Costa y Dpto. Lavalle, respectivamente,
tienen el nivel freático medio
entre 1,5 y 2,0 m de profundidad, resultando
el Riesgo Freático Bajo para el Distrito Costa
y Medio para el Dpto. Lavalle; septiembre es
el mes más crítico con el 43 y 40% de las
superficies del Distrito Costa y Dpto. Lavalle,
respectivamente, con niveles freáticos medios
entre 1,0 y 1,5 m de profundidad, resultando
el Riesgo Freático para dicho mes Bajo para
el Distrito Costa y Alto para el Dpto. Lavalle;
la Subárea Costa posee las mejores condiciones
de profundidad freática y edáfica para la
agricultura del Departamento Lavalle; la red
principal de colectores es insuficiente para
producir el abatimiento general de los niveles
freáticos del Departamento Lavalle.According to the information obtained
from a georeferenced network of piezometers,
it was determined the water table depth behavior
in the Department of Lavalle and specially
in the District of Costa de Araujo. The water table
depths were grouped at intervals of 0.5 m,
from surface to 2.5 m deep. The minimum
and medium depths of each piezometer were
calculated from 1983 to 2002 and also the
medium depths corresponding to the months
of March, June, September and December.
The surface for different intervals were represented
graphic and numerically by the use of
Arc View software. With this information there
were made tables of water table depths intervals
and based on them, the phreatic risk was
classified into low, medium and high assuming
1.5 m as the minimum admissible depth value
for perennial crops practices. A discussion on
water table salinity and its connection with vine
chlorosis is presented.
Results: 32 and 41% of the areas of the
District Coast and Dpto. Lavalle, respectively,
have the water table between 1.5 and 2.0 m
deep, resulting Phreatic Low Risk for the District
Coast and for the Middle Dpto. Lavalle;
September is more critical with 43 and 40% of
the areas of the District Coast and Dpto. Lavalle,
respectively, with average groundwater
levels between 1.0 and 1.5 m deep, resulting
Risk Low water table for that month for the
Dstrict Coast and High for the Dpto. Lavalle;
the subarea Costa possesses the better conditions
of phreatic and edaphic depth for the
agriculture of the Department Lavalle; the main
network of collectors is insufficient to produce
the general depression of the phreatic levels
of the Department of Lavalle.Fil: Ortíz Maldonado, Gonzalo.

Rivaroxaban in atrial fibrillation cardioversion: an update
No full textCarlo Lavalle, Martina Straito, Annalisa Caroli, Agostino Piro, Giuseppe Giunta, Marco Valerio Mariani, Francesco FedeleDepartment of Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Nephrological, Anesthesiological and Geriatric Sciences, “Sapienza” University of Rome, Policlinico Umberto I, Rome, ItalyAbstract: Currently, atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, with a prevalence of about 2–3% in the general population, representing a powerful risk factor for stroke and systemic thromboembolism and increased mortality and morbidity. Restoration of sinus rhythm is an important treatment option in AF and has a high success rate, but there is the need for an effective anticoagulation strategy to reduce the risk of embolic events. Anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists is often associated with failure to achieving effective international normalized ratio. In this setting, recent data have led to extended approval for rivaroxaban in clinical practice, because it is effective and safe in patients with AF undergoing cardioversion, avoiding additional health costs and related time loss, while improving patient satisfaction. The present report provides an overview of the main randomized controlled trial and the main real-life studies, documenting the use of rivaroxaban in patients with non-valvular AF who underwent the cardioversion procedure. Considering that novel non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants in left atrial appendage thrombi resolution is still unknown in the real-world practice, the main findings on the use of rivaroxaban in this setting are also discussed.Keywords: atrial fibrillation, cardioversion, novel oral anticoagulants, rivaroxaban, thrombu
Learning combinatorial information from alignments of landmarks
No full textThis paper characterizes the information space of a robot moving in the plane with limited sensing. The robot has a landmark detector, which provides the cyclic order of the landmarks around the robot, and it also has a touch sensor, that indicates when the robot is in contact with the environment boundary. The robot cannot measure any precise distances or angles, and does not have an odometer or a compass. We propose to characterize the information space associated with such robot through the swap cell decomposition. We show how to construct such decomposition through its dual, called the swap graph, using two kinds of feedback motion commands based on the landmarks sensed.This paper characterizes the information space of a robot moving in the plane with limited sensing.
