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

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

Lenzi, Sara (author), Spagnol, S. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)There is an increased awareness of how the quality of the acoustic environment impacts the lives of human beings. Several studies have shown that sound pollution has adverse effects on many populations, from infants to adults, in different environments and workplaces. Hospitals are susceptible environments that require special attention since...review 2023

Yurrita Semperena, M. (author), Draws, T.A. (author), Balayn, A.M.A. (author), Murray-Rust, D.S. (author), Tintarev, N. (author), Bozzon, A. (author)Recent research claims that information cues and system attributes of algorithmic decision-making processes affect decision subjects' fairness perceptions. However, little is still known about how these factors interact. This paper presents a user study (N = 267) investigating the individual and combined effects of explanations, human...conference paper 2023

Chen, Gang (author), Dong, Wei (author), Peng, Peng (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author), Zhu, Xiangyang (author)Particle-based dynamic occupancy maps were proposed in recent years to model the obstacles in dynamic environments. Current particle-based maps describe the occupancy status in discrete grid form and suffer from the grid size problem, wherein a large grid size is unfavorable for motion planning while a small grid size lowers efficiency and...journal article 2023

ter Haar, Jeroen (author)The rapid development of technology gives many opportunities but brings threats as well. The digitization of the financial sector has made the threat for cyber attacks significant. Cyber attacks such as the Petya virus or the Wannacry attack have exposed the vulnerability of the critical infrastructure. The financial sector is especially prone...master thesis 2022

Venema, Ilja (author)Current speech-encoding strategies in cochlear implants (CI’s) do not provide their users with sufficient spectral resolution for complex listening tasks and pitch perception. This paper presents a new test that has been developed to assess pitch perception: the glide tone test (GTT). A total of 25 normal hearing (NH) participants were tested to...master thesis 2022

Hehn, T.M. (author)that do not require any action from the drivers for a short period of time. Although these systems are still limited and only reliable in certain situations, it shows the general trend: cars will become more and more autonomous. The reasons why people and companies are eagerly anticipating fully autonomous cars are manifold: self-driving...doctoral thesis 2022

van Houwelingen, Eva (author)The intensive care unit (ICU) is a dehumanizing technical environment causing complications that are all captured in the term post-intensive-care syndrome (PICS). The patient’s well-being could be improved by moving away from this hostile environment toward more patient-centred care. Therefore this report explores how to improve the daily ICU...master thesis 2022

Güngen, Berna (author)In current spatial orientation models, vertical acceleration (heave) is not coupled with pilot pitch perception, although such a coupling may be present. Therefore, in this study it is investigated whether a heave cue can increase perceived pitch in pilots.<br/><br/>Airline pilots (n = 20) performed a pitch perception task in a hexapod simulator...master thesis 2022

ALIYEVA, ZIVAR (author)Preconceived notions about the scope of architecture and its definition as a purely spatial dimension produced or analysed through one-to-one translated two-dimensional images and drawings do not convey the true experience of space. It lacks movements, emotions, human activities, memories, experiences and perceptions. Perceptions that transcend...master thesis 2022

Kronstadt, Lufther (author)In our digital society, having computer science skills is becoming imperative, yet there is a shortage of computer science professionals and teachers. This shortage is linked to the perception people have of computer science and computer science professionals. This research paper answers two questions through a mixed-method study: to what extent...master thesis 2022

Schot, Rick (author)Heavy-duty trucks (HDTs) are a significant contributor to global anthropogenic carbon emissions. In contrary to passenger cars, HDTs have to cope with decarbonization complications due to range and weight characteristics. Overhead catenary electric road systems (ERS-OC) can aid in decarbonizing this sector. Here, trucks are equipped with a...master thesis 2022

Westermann, Helena (author)The following paper explores the use of chromostereopsis for the purpose of enhancing the perceived depth in photos. Contrary to previous work, this is achieved by using a continuous depth map as input and creating a natural-looking photo with enhanced depth even when viewed without any type of three dimension technology. This is the first...bachelor thesis 2022
