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.
In this paper, we present a method for detecting objects of interest, including cars, humans, and fire, in aerial images captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) usually during vegetation fires. To achieve this, we use artificial neural networks and create a dataset for supervised learning. We accomplish the assisted labeling of the dataset through the implementation of an object detection pipeline that combines classic image processing techniques with pretrained neural networks. In addition, we develop a data augmentation pipeline to augment the dataset with utomatically labeled images. Finally, we evaluate the performance of different neural networks.
Auf der Basis eines Wettbewerbs des BMBF von 1997 hat das Konsortium Virtuelle Fachhochschule (VFH) 43 Mio. DM erhalten und 1999 damit begonnen Online-Studiengänge zu entwickeln. Weitere Themenfelder dieses Bundesleitprojektes sind: Struktur und Organisation einer virtuellen Hochschule, Lehr- und Lernformen in Online-Studiengängen, etc. Beteiligt sind 10 Fachhochschulen, 2 Universitäten, sowie diverse Organisationen und Wirtschaftsunternehmen. Im Jahre 2001 startete der Bachelor-Online-Studiengang Medieninformatik (www.oncampus.de). Das Projekt läuft noch bis ins Jahr 2004. Der Autor ist Vizegesamtprojektleiter, Mitglied im Teilvorhaben Struktur und Organisation sowie Entwickler von 3 Lernmodulen zur Physik für das Medieninformatikstudium.
Am Beispiel dieses Großprojektes werden einige Besonderheiten und Erfahrungen zu den Themen: Organisationsformen, Betreuung, Lehrdeputat, Workload, Ergonomie, Evaluation, Akkreditierung und die Entwicklung der Physik-Online-Lernmodule dargestellt.
