Since research in intelligent autonomous road vehicles gets more and more popular, many interested researchers are confronted with the needs to setup a commercially available vehicle with drive-by-wire. Up-to-date road vehicles contain many mechatronical components, sensors and driver assistance systems, which can be interfaced and thus reduce the needs of expensive modifications and additional...

This paper describes MyInfo, a novel interface for a personal news demonstrator that processes and combines content from TV and the web. We detail our design process from concept generation to focus group exploration to final design. Our design focuses on three issues: (i) ease-of-use, (ii) video summarization, and (iii) news personalization. With a single button press on the remote control, us...

A two phase research study was done to investigate remote work and remote management issues. In Phase 1, focus groups were carried out with remote managers and remote employees to identify key issues. The most common key issues dealt with communications, information technology, leadership and coaching, teamwork, building trust, and performance management. In the second phase, a questionnaire wa...

This paper reports on our early experiences with the design of Social TV for senior citizens. Even though there seems to be a straight forward match between new interactive TV technologies on the rise and the notion of supporting social interaction amongst elderly TV viewers it is not at all clear how these technologies can accommodate the specific challenges related to the everyday life of eld...

Consider the question of building a system of commands remotely controlled robot that can perform motion stabilization in the presence of a constant delay of the control signal.
