Abstract: We propose that biases in attitude and stereotype formation might arise as a result of learned differences in the extent to which social groups have previously been predictive of behavioral or physical properties. Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrate that differences in the experienced predictiveness of groups with respect to evaluatively neutral information influence the extent to which participants later form attitudes and stereotypes about those groups. In contrast, Experiment 3 shows no influence of predictiveness when using a procedure designed to emphasize the use of higher level reasoning processes, a finding consistent with the idea that the root of the predictiveness bias is not in reasoning. Experiments 4 and 5 demonstrate that the predictiveness bias in formation of group beliefs does not depend on participants making global evaluations of groups. These results are discussed in relation to the associative mechanisms proposed by Mackintosh (1975) to explain similar phenomena in animal conditioning and associative learning.

Abstract: The resolution of contact location is important in many applications in robotics and automation. This is generally done by using an array of contact or tactile receptors, which increases cost and complexity as the required resolution or area is increased. Tactile sensors have also been developed using a continuous deformable medium between the contact and the receptors, which allows few receptors to interpolate the information among them, avoiding the weakness highlighted in the former approach. The latter is generally used to measure contact force intensity or magnitude but rarely used to identify the contact locations. This paper presents a systematic design and characterisation procedure for magnetic-based soft tactile sensors (utilizing the latter approach with the deformable contact medium) with the goal of locating the contact force location. This systematic procedure provides conditions under which design parameters can be selected, supported by a selected machine learning algorithm, to achieve the desired performance of the tactile sensor in identifying the contact location. An illustrative ex le, which combines a particular sensor configuration (magnetic hall effect sensor as the receptor, a selected continuous medium and a selected sensing resolution) and a specific data-driven algorithm, is used to illustrate the proposed design procedure. The results of the illustrative ex le design demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed design procedure and the proposed sensing strategy in identifying a contact location. The resulting sensor is also tested on a robotic hand (Allegro Hand, SimLab Co) to demonstrate its application in real-world scenarios.

Abstract: Managing fuel to reduce wildland fire risk often creates substantial public debate. Although the acceptability of various fuel management strategies has been explored in some regions, particularly North America, the social acceptability of fuel management is less well understood in other countries. This paper begins to address this knowledge gap by exploring acceptability by residents living in and near the Australian Capital Territory, Australia of three fuel management strategies (prescribed burning, livestock grazing and mechanical thinning) used to reduce wildland fire risk to life and property. All three were considered acceptable by most survey respondents. Acceptability did not vary substantially between strategies or by the location in which the strategy was undertaken. Acceptability of fuel management was associated with trust in fire management agencies, having knowledge of fuel management, feeling vulnerable to wildland fire and respondent characteristics such as previous effects of wildland fires, location of residence, gender, age, income and employment status.

Abstract: It is well known that the central nervous system automatically reduces a mismatch in the visuomotor coordination. Can the underlying learning strategy be modified by environmental factors or a subject's learning experiences? To elucidate this matter, two groups of subjects learned to execute reaching arm movements in environments with task-irrelevant visual cues. However, one group had previous experience of learning these movements using task-relevant visual cues. The results demonstrate that the two groups used different learning strategies for the same visual environment and that the learning strategy was influenced by prior learning experience.

Abstract: Evidence suggests that patients with upper limb impairment following a stroke do not receive recommended amounts of motor practice. Robotics provide a potential solution to address this gap, but clinical adoption is low. The aim of this study was to utilize the technology acceptance model as a framework to identify factors influencing clinician adoption of robotic devices into practice. Mixed methods including survey data and focus group discussions with allied health clinicians whose primary caseload was rehabilitation of the neurologically impaired upper limb. Surveys based on the technology acceptance measure were completed pre ost exposure to and use of a robotic device. Focus groups discussions based on the theory of planned behaviour were conducted at the conclusion of the study. A total of 34 rehabilitation clinicians completed the surveys with pre-implementation data indicating that rehabilitation clinicians perceive robotic devices as complex to use, which influenced intention to use such devices in practice. The focus groups found that lack of experience and time to learn influenced confidence to implement robotic devices into practice. This study found that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of a robotic device in clinical rehabilitation can be improved through experience, training and embedded technological support. However, training and embedded support are not routinely offered, suggesting there is a discordance between current implementation and the learning needs of rehabilitation clinicians.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPatients do not receive adequate amounts of upper limb motor practice following a stroke, and although robotic devices have the potential to address this gap, clinical adoption is low.The technology acceptance model identified that clinicians perceive robotic devices to be complex to use with current implementation efforts failing to consider their training needs.Implementation adoption of robotic devices in rehabilitation should be supported with adequate training and technological support if sustainable practice change is to be achieved.

Abstract: Finding optimal operating modes for bioprocesses has been, for a long time, a relevant issue in bioengineering. The problem is of special interest when it implies the simultaneous optimization of competing objectives. In this paper, we address the problem of finding optimal steady states that achieve the best tradeoff between yield and productivity by using nonmodel-based extremum-seeking control with semiglobal practical stability and convergence properties. A special attention is paid to processes with multiple steady states and multivalued cost functions.

Abstract: This paper proposes robust controllers for a class of unmanned tracked ground vehicles (UTGVs), which are built to autonomously clean carryback or spillage from the conveyor belts used in the mining industry. The UTGV, a nonholonomic system in its nature, needs to follow a given path in a harsh environment with large uncertainties due to the time-varying mass and inertia when the UTGV loads and unloads as well as unknown frictions and flatness of the ground. Moreover, the input constraints coming from motors do exist. It is usually hard to design robust controllers for such complex systems. By utilizing the available autonomous driving system, which is designed to be compatible with the existing remote motion controller in unmanned systems to generate autonomous ability, this paper uses the off-the-shelf motion planner to calculate desired linear and angular velocities based on the given path and sensor perceptions. Consequently, the control design can be simplified as two decoupled linear time-invariant scalar dynamic systems with uncertainties, making the active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) applicable. By carefully designing the parameters of ADRC with the help of an extended state observer (ESO), it is shown that the proposed ADRC and ESO can achieve good tracking performance in the presence of input saturation and can handle nonsmooth disturbances. The proposed simulation results and experimental results support the theoretical findings.

Abstract: Multifrequency steady‐state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) have been developed to extend the capability of SSVEP‐based brain‐machine interfaces (BMIs) to complex applications that have large numbers of targets. Even though various multifrequency stimulation methods have been introduced, the decoding algorithms for multifrequency SSVEP are still in early development. The recently developed multifrequency canonical correlation analysis (MFCCA) was shown to be a feasible training‐free option to use in decoding multifrequency SSVEPs. However, the time complexity of MFCCA is shown to be , which will lead to long computation time as grows, where represents the input size in decoding. In this paper, a novel decoding algorithm is proposed with the aim to reduce the time complexity. This algorithm is based on linear Diophantine equation solvers and has a reduced computation cost while remaining training‐free. Our simulation results demonstrated that linear Diophantine equation (LDE) decoder run time is only one fifth of MFCCA run time under respective optimal settings on 5‐s single‐channel data. This reduced computation cost makes it easier to implement multifrequency SSVEP in real‐time systems. The effectiveness of this new decoding algorithm is validated with nine healthy participants when using dry electrode scalp electroencephalography (EEG).
