(author), Ibanez-Guzman, Javier (author), Li, Guofa (author), Piazzoni, Andrea (author), Wang, Pu (author), Santra, Avik (author)Automotive perception involves understanding the external driving environment and the internal state of the vehicle cabin and occupants using sensor data. It is critical to achieving high levels of safety and autonomy in driving. This article provides an overview of different sensor modalities, such as cameras, radars, and light detection and...journal article 2023

Gao, Yixuan (author), Song, Duanshu (author), Liu, Li (author), Huang, Y. (author)Affordances serve as design cues, facilitating users in effortlessly identifying the intended use of objects. However, due to the phenomenological nature of the affordance concept, its application and understanding in the human-computer interaction (HCI) domain remain uncertain, resulting in limited utilization in design practice. This study...journal article 2023

Howard, Thomas (author), Driller, K.K. (author), Frier, William (author), Pacchierotti, Claudio (author), Marchal, Maud (author), Hartcher-O'Brien, J. (author)Ultrasound mid-air haptic (UMH) devices are a novel tool for haptic feedback, capable of providing localized vibrotactile stimuli to users at a distance. UMH applications largely rely on generating tactile shape outlines on the users' skin. Here we investigate how to achieve sensations of continuity or gaps within such two-dimensional curves...journal article 2023

Achterberg, M.A. (author), Sensi, M. (author)The interplay between disease spreading and personal risk perception is of key importance for modelling the spread of infectious diseases. We propose a planar system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to describe the co-evolution of a spreading phenomenon and the average link density in the personal contact network. Contrary to...journal article 2023

Kantorowicz, Jaroslaw (author), Kantorowicz-Reznichenko, Elena (author), de Vries, G. (author)In democratic societies, governments cannot act in isolation from public opinion. This is especially true regarding terrorism, where public perception is the instrument targeted by terrorists to achieve their political goals. Nevertheless, governments must also be able to resist public pressure and preserve individual rights. All this suggests...journal article 2023

Hutton, James (author)Jonna Vance and Preston Werner argue that humans’ mechanisms of perceptual attention tend to be sensitive to morally relevant properties. They dub this tendency “Attentional Moral Perception” (AMP) and argue that it can play all the explanatory roles that some theorists have hoped moral perception can play. In this article, I argue that,...journal article 2023

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Koelmans, T.A. (author), Kokshoorn, M.H.J.L. (author), van der Valk, K.P. (author), Vos, Willem (author), Dodou, D. (author), Eisma, Y.B. (author)Chunking theory and previous eye-tracking studies suggest that expert chess players use peripheral vision to judge chess positions and determine the best moves to play. However, the role of peripheral vision in chess has largely been inferred rather than tested through controlled experimentation. In this study, we used a gaze-contingent paradigm...journal article 2023

Post, Ruben A.G. (author), Blijlevens, Janneke (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author), Saakes, Daniel (author), Arango, Luis (author)Tactile experiences are a pivotal part of consumer behavior and choice. However, very little is known about why consumers esthetically appreciate touching products. The principle of Unity-in-Variety, stating that consumers like to perceive variety but only when this variety is presented as a coherent whole, has been shown to partly explain...journal article 2023

Peters, Luka (author), Serhat, Gokhan (author), Vardar, Y. (author)Thermal feedback has been proven to enhance user experience in human-machine interactions. Yet state-of-the-art thermal technology has focused on the single finger or palm in static contact, overlooking dynamic and multi-finger interactions. The underlying challenges include incompatible designs of conventional interfaces for providing...journal article 2023

Cheng, Gang (author), Wu, S. (author), Shi, M. (author), Dong, W. (author), Zhu, H. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author)Autonomous navigation of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) in dynamic and unknown environments is a complex and challenging task. Current works rely on assumptions to solve the problem. The MAV's pose is precisely known, the dynamic obstacles can be explicitly segmented from static ones, their number is known and fixed, or they can be modeled with...journal article 2023

Monnoyer, Jocelyn (author), Willemet, L. (author), Wiertlewski, M. (author)Shortly after touching an object, humans can tactually gauge the frictional resistance of a surface. The knowledge of surface friction is paramount to tactile perception and the motor control of grasp. While potent correlations between friction and participants' perceptual response have been found, the causal link between the friction of the...journal article 2023

Kodak, B.L. (author), Vardar, Y. (author)The ever-emerging mobile market induced a blooming interest in stylus-based interactions. Most state-of-the-art styluses either provide no haptic feedback or only deliver one type of sensation, such as vibration or skin stretch. Improving these devices with display abilities of a palette of tactile feels can pave the way for rendering...journal article 2023

Yuan, Y. (author), Wang, X. (author), Calvert, S.C. (author), Happee, R. (author), Wang, M. (author)Current driver behaviour models (DBMs) are primarily designed for the general driver population under specific scenarios, such as car following or lane changing. Hence DBMs capturing individual behaviour under various scenarios are lacking. This paper presents a novel method to quantify individual perceived driving risk in the longitudinal...journal article 2023

(author)This letter introduces a dataset for training and evaluating methods for 6D pose estimation of hand-held tools in task demonstrations captured by a standard RGB camera. Despite the significant progress of 6D pose estimation methods, their performance is usually limited for heavily occluded objects, which is a common case in imitation learning...journal article 2023

(author)To offer engaging neurorehabilitation training to neurologic patients, motor tasks are often visualized in virtual reality (VR). Recently introduced head-mounted displays (HMDs) allow to realistically mimic the body of the user from a first-person perspective (i.e., avatar) in a highly immersive VR environment. In this immersive environment,...journal article 2022
