Integration of socio-physiological sensors to estimate team functional state in mobile command and control

Teams in crisis management operate in uncertainty and time pressure conditions, which severely constrain team performance. Systems capable of detecting critical levels of cognitive functioning could help teams to adapt better to the situation they face by allowing an intelligent re-allocation of tasks across agents. Traditionally, adaptive systems are based on the operator behavioral response […]

Non-Contact condition monitoring system for outdoor ceramic insulators based on their radio frequency signatures

The research centers around the feasibility study of a method to detect faulty outdoor insulators and to classify the type of defects within the insulator. Every different type of defect results in a specific electromagnetic Signature that can be acquired using an antenna and oscilloscope. Using these Signatures some specific features (eg statistical or spectral […]

The Research on the Positioning of Virtual Humans in AR Collaboration Systems

Our research expands the paradigm of 1:1 AR collaboration systems to multi-party AR collaboration systems, enabling more flexible control over the positioning of the RU. We investigate multi-party conversations involving two or more participants and one VH replacing the RU. Specifically, we vary the distance between the two LUs and the VH to examine RU’s […]
