The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Sociophysical Interactions: understanding the role of social and tangible technologies in maintaining good habits into old age. How can technology help us 'age well'? The project will study, design and evaluate novel information systems that integrate and support social engagement and physical activity in order to build foundational knowledge about these technologies and maintain the opportunities for social engagement and physical activity in our ageing population.
Non-intrusive human activity sensing with radio signals. This project aims to develop a theoretical framework for sensing and detecting human activities based on wireless radio signals. The framework advances the state-of-the-art by discovering the fundamental theory, and defining a set of principles to guide practical system design. The framework will be validated and its scientific merit demonstrated through building several applications such as contactless human activity detection and vital s ....Non-intrusive human activity sensing with radio signals. This project aims to develop a theoretical framework for sensing and detecting human activities based on wireless radio signals. The framework advances the state-of-the-art by discovering the fundamental theory, and defining a set of principles to guide practical system design. The framework will be validated and its scientific merit demonstrated through building several applications such as contactless human activity detection and vital signs monitoring. This should benefit existing hospital and clinical patient services and promote home-care and self-care services at nationwide.Read moreRead less

Human-Centred Robot Training. This project aims to address the challenge of effectively enabling novice users to train robots on complex tasks using instructional methods and gamification. With the recent advances of AI research, robots have now better cognitive and functional skills, research in robot training also now allows them to learn interactively from human. Since these robots are expected to provide assistance in different domains including education and healthcare, it is crucial to eff ....Human-Centred Robot Training. This project aims to address the challenge of effectively enabling novice users to train robots on complex tasks using instructional methods and gamification. With the recent advances of AI research, robots have now better cognitive and functional skills, research in robot training also now allows them to learn interactively from human. Since these robots are expected to provide assistance in different domains including education and healthcare, it is crucial to effectively engage human in robot’s instruction. Expected outcomes include new methods for trainers to assess robot learning, and to improve their engagement and feedback. This should provide significant human-robot interaction benefits for accessibility of learning robots.Read moreRead less
Growing old and staying connected: touch screen technology for ameliorating older people’s experience of social isolation. Social isolation affects many older people. This project investigates novel technologies to prevent and to ameliorate social isolation experienced by older adults. This project will implement and trial a software application over an 18 month period, using a 3G connected touch-screen tablet, and evaluate its impact on alleviating social isolation.
