Zgonnikov, A. (author), Beckers, N.W.M. (author), George, A. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)Understanding behavior of human drivers in interactions with automated vehicles (AV) can aid the development of future AVs. Existing investigations of such behavior have predominantly focused on situations in which an AV a priori needs to take action because the human has the right of way. However, future AVs might need to proactively manage...journal article 2024

(author)How can humans remain in control of artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems designed to perform tasks autonomously? Such systems are increasingly ubiquitous, creating benefits - but also undesirable situations where moral responsibility for their actions cannot be properly attributed to any particular person or group. The concept of...journal article 2022

Beckers, N.W.M. (author), Cavalcante Siebert, L. (author), Bruijnes, M. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author)People seem to hold the human driver to be primarily responsible when their partially automated vehicle crashes, yet is this reasonable? While the driver is often required to immediately take over from the automation when it fails, placing such high expectations on the driver to remain vigilant in partially automated driving is unreasonable....journal article 2022

Andres, Alvaro Gil (author), Beckers, N.W.M. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Peternel, L. (author)We present a method for arbitration between human and robot involvement in a collaborative physical task execution based on ergonomic metrics. The existing methods for ergonomic control of physical human-robot collaboration perform the real-Time arbitration primarily based on a single type of ergonomic metric. The novelty of our approach is...conference paper 2022

Peternel, L. (author), Beckers, N.W.M. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author)The existing state-of-the-art interfaces for commanding a remote robot's endpoint stiffness ellipsoid in tele-impedance lack the ability to independently control its size, shape and orientation or they are not easily to implement due to the use of physiological signals, such as electromyography, to control the endpoint stiffness. We propose a...conference paper 2021

Beckers, N.W.M. (author), van Asseldonk, Edwin H.F. (author), van der Kooij, H. (author)Haptic interaction between two humans, for example, a physiotherapist assisting a patient regaining the ability to grasp a cup, likely facilitates motor skill acquisition. Haptic human–human interaction has been shown to enhance individual performance improvement in a tracking task with a visuomotor rotation perturbation. These results are...journal article 2020

Wani, Omar (author), Beckers, Joost V.L. (author), Weerts, Albrecht H. (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)A non-parametric method is applied to quantify residual uncertainty in hydrologic streamflow forecasting. This method acts as a post-processor on deterministic model forecasts and generates a residual uncertainty distribution. Based on instance-based learning, it uses a k nearest-neighbour search for similar historical hydrometeorological...journal article 2017

Beckers, R. (author), van der Voordt, Theo (author), DeWulf, Geert (author)Higher education learning and teaching methods have changed while most educational buildings are still rather traditional. Yet, there is an increasing interest in whether we can educate today's higher education students in yesterday's buildings. This paper aims to contribute to this debate by studying the learning space choices of higher...journal article 2016
