Man-Man-Machine-Machine Etiquette: Towards an Environment to Investigate Behavioral Rules for Dynamic Man-Machine Teams

In order for a defense organization to gain understanding of their performance in complex tactical situations it is important to accurately model the way opposing and own forces operate. It is a significant challenge to develop such models due to the increasing interdependence between personnel and technology. To gain a clear insight in how personnel and technology (or a man-machine network) to...

Control of Man-Machine FES Systems

Movement disabilities due to spinal cord injury (SCI) are usually incomplete, leaving the patients with partially functioning movement system. As a result, functional electrical stimulation (FES) systems for restoration of movement to the paralyzed limbs must operate in parallel with the residual voluntary movements of the patient. In the resulting man-machine system, the central nervous system...

Emotion Analysis in Man-Machine Interaction Systems

Facial expression and hand gesture analysis plays a fundamental part in emotionally rich man-machine interaction (MMI) systems, since it employs universally accepted non-verbal cues to estimate the users’ emotional state. In this paper, we present a systematic approach to extracting expression related features from image sequences and inferring an emotional state via an intelligent rule-based s...
