The document discusses three common assumptions that often lead humanitarian technology projects to fail:
1) That a community will benefit from a new technology even if it does not meet an actual need.
2) That the quality standards for technologies in developing communities can be lower than in developed markets.
3) That installing a technology and leaving is sufficient, rather than maintaining long-term community engagement.
It argues these assumptions ignore important social science principles. To succeed, projects require expertise in both technology and social sciences, and should prioritize understanding community needs and priorities over predetermined solutions. The document outlines five principles for more effective community engagement.
A Methodological Variation For Acceptance Evaluation Of Human-Robot Interacti...Heather Strinden

This document discusses the use of robots in education. It begins by defining robots and robotics, and describes how robots are being used increasingly in fields like manufacturing, healthcare, military, and more. Educational robots help teach STEM concepts to students of all ages, playing roles like teaching assistants, tutors, and peer learners. The document outlines several applications of educational robots, from elementary to higher education and for students with special needs. Benefits include improving STEM learning, coding skills, and teamwork. Challenges include cost and engaging all genders. The conclusion is that robotics education should be compulsory to prepare students for robot-integrated careers and lives.
This document summarizes a presentation by Giulio Sandini on human-robot interaction. Sandini discusses two approaches to developing more human-like robots: improving compliance to make interactions less dangerous, and improving cognitive skills to make interactions more human-like. Sandini uses the iCub humanoid robot as a "wind tunnel" to study human-robot interaction and develop technologies for learning, adaptation, and ultimately mutual understanding between humans and machines. The challenges include ensuring safety by enabling robots to predict the outcomes of their own and others' actions, and developing technologies that will make robots more predictable and useful to humans.
The ability of intuition and self- learning in humans is responsible for developing their
intelligence, reasoning and socialising. All this human characteristics can enable the robots to
volve into humans. In this context i explain that robots with developing intelligence can solve the problems of various scientific phenomenon such as black-hole, time travels and even in robotics the problems in sensors and actuators which do not impart human level DOF and movement thus making them do everything we can do. Imagine a robot doing yoga, karate, even a ballet all by itself without the rusty old controls and commands. Researchers have come with all kinds of robots and best of all social robots for social interaction so we have come with all kinds of robots what’s next? Robot scientists and researchers! Why not? It is highly evident that robot can think in new dimensions to solve issues.
Hiroshi Ishiguro is a Japanese roboticist who has created highly human-like androids in his own image and the images of others. His research focuses on developing humanoid robots that can serve as social partners for humans. He believes that as robots become more human-like in their interactions, humans will be able to form genuine emotional attachments to them. However, fully realizing his vision will require overcoming significant technical challenges in areas like movement, speech recognition, and integrating all of a robot's sensors.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy.

The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Editor's Notes
It is important to recognize that humans are a profoundly social species. Our social-emotional intelligence is a useful and powerful means for understanding the behavior of’ and for interacting with some of the most complex entities in our world – people and other living creatures . Faced with non-living things of sufficient complexity (i.e. when the observable behavior is not easily understood in terms of its underlying mechanisms)’ we oftern apply a social model to explain ‘ understand and predict their behabior as well. For instance’ we are all familiar that people anthoropomotrphize all sorts of technologies( e.g. cars’ computers ect.) . The studies of Premack and Premack show that people attribute mental state (i.e. intents’ beliefs ‘ feelings desires ect( to describe the bejavior of his ingenious vehicles. Right or wrong’ people rely on social modeels (* or fluidly seitch between using a social model with other mental models( to make complex behavior more familiar and understandable and more intuitive with which to interact. We do this because it is enjoyable forr us ‘ and it is often surprisingly wuite useful.
We take the position that dogs are another socially responsive species- socially intelligent in a genuine sense, althought their social sophistication is less than that of a human. Hence this criterion for success should not be confused with trying to build a robot that is indistinguishable from a human inside and out. – the appearance of the robot and its internal design details can be quite different from the human couterpart, what mattes is how it interacts face to face with people and how people interact with it in a human environment.
3 DOF – directs the robot’s gaze
3DOF – Controls the head orientation
15 DOF more – move the facial features (e.g eyelids, eyebrows, lips and ears)

A lavalier mic. Is worn on the person interacting with kismet to process the vocalization
Given that a robotic implementation is limited by perceptual, motor and computational resources, we have found that theses social cues are usful in regulating the turn –taking of humans and robots.
These limitations force the robot to exchange speaking turns at a slower rate than a regular human. The times specified are the interval time of response after pause after the speech has ended.
Humans seem to intuitively read Kismet’s cues and use them to regulate the rate of exchange at a pace where both partners perform well.
The robot uses a Kismet-esque babble for its speaking turn. Hence, the envelope displays are used to regulate the dynamics of interaction during the exchange of speaking turns rather than focus on the content of what is said.
The same holds true for proto dialogs between human care-givers and their prelinguistic infants.
Well studied by discourse theorists, human employ avariety of para-linguistic social cues, called envelope displays’ to regulate the exchange of speaking turns. They involve facial displays, gestures, shifts in gaze and eye blinks – such as raising one’s brows and establishing eye contact to relinquish one’s speaking turn’ or looking aside to hold one’s speaking turn even when speech is paused.
Given that a robotic implementation is limited by perceptual ‘ motor and computational resources’ we have found that these social cues are useful in regulating the turn-taking of humans and robots. This has proven particularly important for Kismet because its speech processing limitations force the robot to exchange speaking turn s at a slower rate thatn is typical for human adults.
Invitation of 4 naïve subjects ranged in age from 12 to 28 years old.
2 male and 2 female
They were asked to carry on a “play” conversation with the robot.
All was video recorded for later analysis. They were told that the robot does not speak nor understands English, but babbles in a characteristic manner.
Here I should explain what does it mean to hold the floor ect…
This table shows that the robot is engaged in a smooth proto-dialog with the human partner the majority of the time (approx. 82.5% of the time) .
At first they use only the vocals of the robot to gauge their speaking turn
They expect the robot to start talking immediately after they finish talking.
And the robot is most likely to interrupt them (common at the first phrases the people perform)
They call it “Hiccups” in the flow – they appear in short clusters of mutual interruptions and pauses (over 2-4 utterances of the speaker) before the turn phases become coordinated and the flow of the exchange of speaking turns smoothes out.
As the subject seem to adjust their behavior according to Kismet’s envelope displays these “hiccups” within speaking turns become less frequent.
As we can see in this table, for each subject there are progressively onlger runs of cleanly exchanged turns as time progresses. The flow of communication becomes smoother (e.g. fewer interuuptions, pauses, and significant flow disturbances), as people read and entrain to Kismet’s envelope displays.
Then the rate of vocal exchange is well matched to the robot’s perceptual limitations.
This table shows that the robot is engaged in a smooth proto-dialog with the human partner the majority of the time (approx. 82.5% of the time) .
