Social-aware Planning and Control for Automated Vehicles Based on Driving Risk Field and Model Predictive Contouring Control: Driving through Roundabouts as a Case Study

The gradual deployment of automated vehicles (AVs) results in mixed traffic where AVs will interact with human-driven vehicles (HDVs). Thus, social-aware motion planning and control while considering interactions with HDVs on the road is critical for AVs’ deployment and safe driving under various maneuvers. Previous research mostly focuses on...

Accurate Scene Text Detection via Scale-Aware Data Augmentation and Shape Similarity Constraint

Scene text detection has attracted increasing concerns with the rapid development of deep neural networks in recent years. However, existing scene text detectors may overfit on the public datasets due to the limited training data, or generate inaccurate localization for arbitrary-shape scene texts. This paper presents an arbitrary-shape scene...

A modular aquaponic system designed for company canteens

Aquaponics is the combination of two existing techniques, hydroponics (soilless farming), and aquaculture(aquatic animals growing). This symbiosis process of recycling wastes and recirculating water creates potentials for aquaponics in future vegetable and aquaculture produce. The vision of Riverfood (client company) is to make aquaponics...

CitRec 2017: International Workshop on Recommender Systems for Citizens

The "International Workshop on Recommender Systems for Citizens" (CitRec) is focused on a novel type of recommender systems both in terms of ownership and purpose: recommender systems run by citizens and serving society as a whole.

Look together: Using gaze for assisting co-located collaborative search

Gaze information provides indication of users focus which complements remote collaboration tasks, as distant users can see their partner’s focus. In this paper, we apply gaze for co-located collaboration, where users’ gaze locations are presented on the same display, to help collaboration between partners. We integrated various types of gaze...

Conceptualization of a real-time information processing platform for context-aware informing cyber-physical systems

Informing cyber-physical systems (I-CPSs) are designed to accomplish sensing, reasoning and informing activities in dynamic context. In order to<br/>simplify and accelerate the design and implementation process of multiple context-aware ICPSs, we are developing an information sensing,<br/>computing and actuating (SCA) platform that can be used...
