This Article introduces two research projects towards assistive robotic arms for people with severe body impairments. Both projects aim to develop new control and interaction designs to promote accessibility and a better performance for people with functional losses in all four extremities, e.g. due to quadriplegic or multiple sclerosis. The project MobILe concentrates on using a robotic arm as drinking aid and controlling it with smart glasses, eye-tracking and augmented reality. A user oriented development process with participatory methods were pursued which brought new knowledge about the life and care situation of the future target group and the requirements a robotic drinking aid needs to meet. As a consequence the new project DoF-Adaptiv follows an even more participatory approach, including the future target group, their family and professional caregivers from the beginning into decision making and development processes within the project. DoF-Adaptiv aims to simplify the control modalities of assistive robotic arms to enhance the usability of the robotic arm for activities of daily living. lo decide on exemplary activities, like eating or open a door, the future target group, their family and professional caregivers are included in the decision making process. Furthermore all relevant stakeholders will be included in the investigation of ethical, legal and social implications as well as the identification of potential risks. This article will show the importance of the participatory design for the development and research process in MobILe and DoF-Adaptiv.
We investigate the possibility to use update propagation methods for optimizing the evaluation of continuous queries. Update propagation allows for the efficient determination of induced changes to derived relations resulting from an explicitly performed base table update. In order to simplify the computation process, we propose the propagation of updates with different degrees of granularity which corresponds to an incremental query evaluation with different levels of accuracy. We show how propagation rules for diferent update granularities can be systematically derived, combined and further optimized by using Magic Sets. This way, the costly evaluation of certain subqueries within a continuous query can be systematically circumvented allowing for cutting down on the number of pipelined tuples considerably.
Membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) developed at the Westphalian Energy Institute for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are high tech systems containing various materials structured in nanoscale, at which electrochemical reactions occur on catalyst nano particle surfaces. For low reactance homogeneous compression of the MEA’s layers is necessary. A novel stack architecture for electrochemical cells, especially PEMFC as well as PEM electrolysers, has been developed according to achieve ideal cell operation conditions. Single cells of such a stack are inserted into flexible slots that are surrounded by hydraulic media. While operation the hydraulic media is pressurised which leads to an even compression and cooling of the stack’s cells. With this stack design it has been possible to construct a test facility for simultaneous characterisation of several MEA samples. As compression and temperature conditions of every single sample are equal, with the novel test system the effect of e.g. different electrode configurations can be investigated. Furthermore, the modular stack design leads to the development of hybrid energy applications combining fuel cells, electrolysers, batteries as well as metal hydride tanks in one system.
