Background: Priority during the SARS-CoV2 pandemic is that employees need to be protected from infection risks and business activities need to be ensured. New virus variants with increased infection risks require an evolved risk strategy.
Material and methods: Several standard measures such as testing, isolation and quarantine are com-bined to a novel risk strategy. Epidemiological model calculations and scientific knowledge about the course of SARS-CoV2 infectivity are used to optimize this strategy. The procedure is implemented in an easy-to-use calculator based on Excel.
Layout in practice and results: Alternative combinations of measures and practical aspects are dis-cussed. Example calculations are used to demonstrate the effect of the discussed measures.
Conclusion: That quarantine calculator derived from these principles enables even non-specialists to perform a differentiated risk analysis and to introduce optimized measures. Targeted testing routines and alternative measures ensure staff availability.
Recommendations for the Development of a Robotic Drinking and Eating Aid - An Ethnographic Study
(2021)
Being able to live independently and self-determined in one’s own home is a crucial factor or human dignity and preservation of self-worth. For people with severe physical impairments who cannot use their limbs for every day tasks, living in their own home is only possible with assistance from others. The inability to move arms and hands makes it hard to take care of oneself, e.g. drinking and eating independently. In this paper, we investigate how 15 participants with disabilities consume food and drinks. We report on interviews, participatory observations, and analyzed the aids they currently use. Based on our findings, we derive a set of recommendations that supports researchers and practitioners in designing future robotic drinking and eating aids for people with disabilities.
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.
Die wechselseitigen Beeinflussungen zwischen Werbungtreibenden und Journalist*innen werden auf Basis der empirischen Synchronisationsforschung dargestellt – mit Schwerpunkt auf Einflüsse durch Sonderwerbeformen der Online-Kommunikation. Die Argumentation richtet sich gegen eine Intensivierung der Beeinflussungsversuche. Sie spricht sich für kooperative und gekennzeichnete Produktentwicklungen aus, die zentrale Determinanten wie Personae oder Markenimages des beworbenen Produkts und des Mediums berücksichtigen. So wird der Trennungsgrundsatz eingehalten und der Charakter publizistischer Massenmedien respektiert.
This technical report is about the mission and the experience gained during the reconnaissance of an industrial hall with hazardous substances after a major fire in Berlin. During this operation, only UAVs and cameras were used to obtain information about the site and the building. First, a geo-referenced 3D model of the building was created in order to plan the entry into the hall. Subsequently, the UAVs were used to fly in the heavily damaged interior and take pictures from inside of the hall. A 360° camera mounted under the UAV was used to collect images of the surrounding area especially from sections that were difficult to fly into. Since the collected data set contained similar images as well as blurred images, it was cleaned from non-optimal images using visual SLAM, bundle adjustment and blur detection so that a 3D model and overviews could be calculated. It was shown that the emergency services were not able to extract the necessary information from the 3D model. Therefore, an interactive panorama viewer with links to other 360° images was implemented where the links to the other images depends on the semi dense point cloud and located camera positions of the visual SLAM algorithm so that the emergency forces could view the surroundings.
This technical report is about the architecture and integration of very small commercial UAVs (< 40 cm diagonal) in indoor Search and Rescue missions. One UAV is manually controlled by only one single human operator delivering live video streams and image series for later 3D scene modelling and inspection. In order to assist the operator who has to simultaneously observe the environment and navigate through it we use multiple deep neural networks to provide guided autonomy, automatic object detection and classification and local 3D scene modelling. Our methods help to reduce the cognitive load of the operator. We describe a framework for quick integration of new methods from the field of Deep Learning, enabling for rapid evaluation in real scenarios, including the interaction of methods.
At the beginning of the pandemic in Feb. 2020 I had a little time and wanted to do something new i.e. bring my 3D printer, AI and computer science together somehow. The result is a printed portrait with a lot of computer science. Using style transfer I transferred the etching style of a Göthe portrait to a young girl I call Carolin. By means of image processing I made a black and white picture out of it. Then, using the problem of the traveling salesman, each black point in the picture is interpreted as a city and the whole picture is drawn by only one line. Since this line is very long, it is optimized and shortened by a so-called simulated annealing algorithm. The result is printed in 5 layers on a 3D printer.
Durch Panoramen in Kombination mit dem ORB-SLAM ist ein schnelles Tracking möglich, liefert jedoch ausschließlich spärliche Daten. Durch die Kombination mit einem neuronalen Netz soll der SLAM Algorithmus zu einem RGBD-SLAM erweitert werden, um ein besseres Tracking und eine dichtere Punktwolke zu gewährleisten.
