Abstract:
Information and Communication Technologies are driving the improvement of industrial processes. According to the Industry 4.0 (I4.0) paradigm, digital systems provide real-time information to humans and machines, increasing flexibility and efficiency in production environments. Based on the I4.0 Design Principles concept, Virtual Assistants can play a vital role in processing production data and offer contextualized and real-time information to the workers in the production environment. This systematic review paper explored Virtual Assistant applications in the context of I4.0, discussing the Technical Assistance Design Principle and identifying the characteristics, services, and limitations regarding Virtual Assistant use in the production environments. The results showed that Virtual Assistants offer Physical and Virtual Assistance. Virtual Assistance provides real-time contextualized information mainly for support, while Physical Assistance is oriented toward task execution. Regarding services, the applications include integration with legacy systems and static information treatment. The limitations of the applications incorporate concerns about information security and adapting to noisy and unstable environments. It is possible to assume that the terminology of Virtual Assistants is not standardized and is mentioned as chatbots, robots, and others. Besides the worthy insights of this research, the small number of resulting papers did not allow for generalizations. Future research should focus on broadening the search scope to provide more-significant conclusions and research possibilities with new AI models and services, including the emergent Industry 5.0 concept.

Abstract:
Intelligent cognitive assistants support people who need help performing everyday tasks by detecting when problems occur and providing tailored and context-sensitive assistance. Spoken dialogue interfaces allow users to interact with intelligent cognitive assistants while focusing on the task at hand. In order to establish requirements for voice interfaces to intelligent cognitive assistants, we conducted three focus groups with people with dementia, carers, and older people without a diagnosis of dementia. Analysis of the focus group data showed that voice and interaction style should be chosen based on the preferences of the user, not those of the carer. For people with dementia, the intelligent cognitive assistant should act like a patient, encouraging guide, while for older people without dementia, assistance should be to the point and not patronising. The intelligent cognitive assistant should be able to adapt to cognitive decline.

Abstract:
The work of personal assistants is crucial to the quality of life, health, and participation of consumers with spinal cord injuries. The purpose of this study was to describe the barriers and satisfaction experienced by consumers and personal assistants. Transcripts were taken from five focus groups conducted with 24 consumers with spinal cord injuries and 15 personal assistants. Results revealed that both groups experienced problems with the consumer and personal assistant relationship, inadequate reimbursement, and restrictive policies. Satisfaction was experienced when a positive working relationship existed for both groups. Assistants derived satisfaction from the altruistic nature of their work. Future research is needed to identify the most effective methods for personal assistant recruitment, training, and retention. Specific methods to be tested include increasing personal assistant reimbursement, providing training programs for both consumers and assistants, and increasing the flexibility of personal assistance services policies.

Abstract:
Numerous studies have been conducted on automated vehicles. Additionally, considerable research has been done to increase vehicle safety. The majority of safety-related research done in this field uses hardware and electronic components. Lane keep assistance, parking assistance, and city break assistance are a few instances that can be given. Only a small number of software-related parts are utilized in current automobiles, nevertheless. The primary illustration for this is vehicle assistants. However, current vehicle aides can carry out commands and carry out some specified responsibilities for drivers or passengers. In some aspects, this might be able to lessen driver stickiness and increase driving enjoyment. In contrast to the current vehicle assistants, this proposed assistant represents a fresh method. It can detect drivers' emotions and adjust behavior accordingly. The major goal of this research is to reduce accidents that are caused by driver distraction. Additionally, this suggested helper may recognize emotional states in drivers, such as fatigue, grief, and anger, and act accordingly to keep them focused on the road.

Abstract:
We consider a variant of the entanglement of assistance, as independently introduced by D.P. DiVincenzo et al. (quant-ph/9803033) and O. Cohen (Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 2493 (1998)). Instead of considering three-party states in which one of the parties, the assistant, performs a measurement such that the remaining two parties are left with on average as much entanglement as possible, we consider four-party states where two parties play the role of assistants. We answer several questions that arise naturally in this scenario, such as (i) how much more entanglement can be produced when the assistants are allowed to perform joint measurements, (ii) for what type of states are local measurements sufficient, (iii) is it necessary for the second assistant to know the measurement outcome of the first, and (iv) are projective measurements sufficient or are more general POVMs needed?

Abstract:
This thesis is about the development of a function that assists the driver of a heavy vehicle to do an estimation over the possibilities to overtake a preceding heavy vehicle. The function utilizes Look-Ahead and vehicle-to-vehicle communication to do a calculation of the distance between the vehicles in some road distance ahead. Consequently the report also contains an investigation of what data that is needed to be known about a vehicle to be able to do a satisfying estimation about this vehicle. The most vital problem is to estimate what velocity the vehicle will get in an uphill/downhill slope. A Simulink model is developed to simulate the function with two independent vehicles. Real tests are also performed to evaluate the velocity estimation part of the function.

Abstract:
L'assistance est la forme primitive de l'assurance. On constate actuellement la multiplication des societes de service dites d'assistance, dont l'objet est de porter une aide materielle et morale a toute personne en difficulte, notamment en cas de voyages a l'etranger. Ces societes empruntent la technique de l'assurance. Si l'assistance a bien preexiste a l'assurance, il y a aujourd'hui une renaissance de l7assistance. Celle-ci est devenue, depuis l'adoption de la directive communautaire "assistance touristique", une nouvelle branche d'assurance. Comparer l'assistance a l'assurance conduit a observer les differences de leurs regimes. Cependant, le contrat d'assistance presente les memes principaux caracteres que le contrat d'assurance; de plus, nombre de contrats d'assistance, proposes par des entreprises d'assurance, ne sont autres que des contrats d'assurance. L'etude du regime juridique de l'assurance conduit a affirmer l'identite de nature des activites d'assistance et d'assurance
Assistance is the primitive form of insurance. We may see to day the multiplication of services companies called assistance companies whose purpose is to give a material and moral aid to any people in difficulty, especially in case of travels abroad. These companies have adopted the insurance technic. If assistance has effectively preceded insurance, there is now a renewal of assistance. Assistance has become, since the adoption of the e. E. C. Directive the "touristic assistance", a new branch. To compare assistance and insurance leads to observe the differences of their schemes. However, the assistance contracts offerts the same characteristics as the insurance contract. Many of the assistance contracts proposed by the insurance companies are nothing else but insurance contracts. The survey of the juridic scheme of assistance contrives to assert the identity of nature between assistance and insurance activities

Abstract:
Les travaux présentés dans ce mémoire traitent du développement d'une assistance robotisée comportant un bras préhenseur (Manus®) monté sur un porteur mobile capable de suivre de façon automatique le fauteuil roulant du patient afin de mettre à la disposition de l'utilisateur le bras Manus®. La première partie de ces travaux concerne la création d'un algorithme permettant la modélisation de capteurs catadioptriques omnidirectionnels particuliers. Ils répondent à des contraintes prédéfinies permettant d'observer différents éléments de l'environnement sans déformations radiales. Dans un second temps, nous exposons deux méthodes de suivi automatique de fauteuil roulant à l'aide des seuls capteurs de vision omnidirectionnelle stéréoscopique. La méthode mise en application dans le projet permet d'effectuer un suivi d'objet suivant une méthode probabiliste basée sur le MeanShift et le CAMShift. Dans ce mémoire, nous adaptons le CAMShift de façon à travailler directement sur les images omnidirectionnelles afin d'obtenir une méthode rapide baptisée OmniCAMShift. Cette méthode comprend également une initialisation simple par soustraction d'image, prenant en compte les ombres et les sur illuminations. Le troisième point concerne l'ensemble de la navigation. Nous y traitons la cartographie, apportant ici une nouvelle méthode d'appariement robuste d'amers utilisant des capteurs omnidirectionnels stéréoscopiques. L'exploitation de ces appariements permet de construire une grille d'occupation absolue de l'environnement, et d'inclure des procédures d'évitement d'obstacle et de passage de porte automatique. Ce mémoire ayant pour caractéristique d'être fortement appliqué, une dernière partie expose l'ensemble des résultats et travaux d'ergonomie dans le cadre d'interactions homme machine liés à l'utilisation de cette assistance
The work presented in this memory deals with the development of an aid for disabled people. This aid is the bundle of a Manus arm and a mobile robot, which is able to follow automatically the user's wheelchair. When the user wishes to use the Manus®, the mobile robot comes in front of the wheelchair and its occupant can use the Manus® arm. The first part of this work is the creation of an algorithm able to generate particular kind of omnidirectional catadioptric sensors. Those sensors allow to observe different parts of the environment without any radial deformation. In the second point, we explain two methods of automatic following of the wheelchair thanks to the sole stereoscopic omnidirectionals vision sensors. The method used in the project allows the tracking of an object using a probabilistic method based on the MeanShift and the CAMShift. In this work, we adapt the CAMShift in order to work directly on the omnidirectional images in order to get a method that we named OmniCAMShift. This method also embeds a simple initialisation of the model by subtracting images, taking into account shadows and highlights. The third point concerns the whole navigation. We deal with map generation, and we expose a new way to match the natural beacon using stereoscopic omnidirectional sensors. The use of those results enables to build an absolute occupation grid of the environment. Then we include the avoiding of obstacles and going through doors functionalities. This work has the particularity of being highly practical. A last part consequently shows the whole results and ergonomic work in the field of human-computer interface linked to the use of this aid for disabled people

Strong, effective, economic assistance programs are a crucial part of U.S. foreign policy. They are a primary instrument for advancing U.S. national interests, enhancing global stability, expanding economic opportunities, and promoting American democratic values. From 2004 through 2010, the United States donated more than $16 billion in economic assistance to countries in the Western Hemisphere. Some ask why the United States spends so much money abroad on humanitarian programs and infrastructure investments in developing states. To address this question, this thesis looks at Colombia and Mexico, both of which are of crucial strategic importance to the United States. Under Plan Colombia (20002006), U.S. economic assistance and staunch political will enabled Colombia to improve from 14th (2005) to 57th (2013) on the Failed State Index scale. As a result, Colombia has also emerged as a stronger U.S. partner in the Western Hemisphere. The Colombian experience was historically specific, but lessons can be extracted for Mexico, even though its history and relationship with Washington is very different. In particular, the recent Merida Initiative (Plan Mexico; 2008present) can benefit immensely from being carefully evaluated in light of the earlier success of Plan Colombia.

In this thesis a simple and low-cost aided inertial navigation system is presented which can be used to automate underwater search operations. The system is designed and implemented to be compatible with a VideoRay Pro 3 tethered mini-ROV. Inertial-, compass- and pressure measurements are collected with a dedicated embedded system and transferred to the surface for processing. System states are estimated, compared against a user specified pattern and used to generate path-following control inputs. The system is tested on a small scale and the results obtained through camera-based measurements show acceptable performance for short time intervals.

As part of a Naval Postgraduate School's capstone project in Systems Engineering, the project team from Cohort 311-101O of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), performed a Systems Engineering analysis and verified the analysis with the acquisition and partial testing of the Humanitarian Assistance Shelter System (HASS). The HASS was developed in response to a need for a rapidly deployable mid-term shelter solution for disaster victims. There exists immediate shelter solutions for the victims, yet there is no transitional shelter available for the period between the demise of the immediate shelter and acquisition of permanent housing. For example, the displaced Haiti earthquake victims are still living in tents more than a year after the disaster has struck. This report documents the disciplined Systems Engineering approach used to determine the requirements, trade-offs, cost-effective solution, and testing required of the solution to fulfill the HASS stakeholders needs. Due to time constraint, partial testing on the HASS components was done with findings documented as well as recommendation for further testing and future work.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis presents three reluctance machines with flux assistance. These machines provide alternative novel geometries that provide high efficiencies with a reduction in the ampere turns in the armature windings for torque production, lowering armature winding switching losses and reducing the power electronic rating. The Dual Stack Variable Reluctance Machine is a switched reluctance variant of the homopolar inductor alternator topology. The Single Stack Variable Reluctance Machine is a simplification of the Dual Stack machine. Both machines use a toroidal field winding to provide additional flux. The methods of connecting armature coils on each stator pole to utilise the armature flux and the choice of power electronic circuitry are important. Testing shows that such machines favour unipolar excitation with single coil per pole for the armature windings. Use of the field winding in series with the armature windings improves torque production. The Dual Stack Variable Reluctance Machine can have the mechanical angular displacement between the two stator stacks varied to provide an improved back emf waveshape for smoother torque production. The Single Stack Variable Reluctance Machine has parasitic and axial air gaps that pose interesting design issues (e.g. end thrust). Magnets can be placed in steel sections where flux is unidirectional. An ideal candidate for magnet insertion is the Flux Switching Motor. A Permanent Magnet Flux Switching Motor has been built that replaces the field windings with ferrite magnets. The Permanent Magnet Flux Switching Motor achieves efficiencies of over 80%. It adds no additional cost to the fan application as cost savings in lower temperature rated thermoplastics offsets the cost of magnets. A prototyping circuit incorporating a novel micro-processor program to alter the commutation timings as the machine operates has been designed to allow fast optimisation of each machine for minimum input power.

Abstract:
In human-machine cooperation, machines may assist operators in a variety of ways. This paper discusses the coordination of various assistances on cognitive basis through a PID-based control approach. Cognitive assistance can be viewed as a two-dimensional problem. The question of when to provide assistance can be viewed as a control problem, and the question of what assistance to provide can be viewed as an interface problem. This research proposes pairing cognitive engagement level and performance relevant situation criticality with a PID control approach to determine the appropriate moment to provide proper assistance. Based on the stage of human cognitive processing, the interfaces of cognitive assistance are grouped into three levels: soft aid, soft intervention, and hard intervention. This paper took driving assistance as an exemplary application to validate the approach of cognitive assistances coordination. In the experiment, an intelligent machine driver monitored drivers’ real-time performance by measuring the time headway to front obstacles and the lateral deviation to lane center. Simultaneously, it monitored drivers’ cognitive state by measuring the eye movement with an eye tracker. With five sessions of driving, coordinated cognitive assistance was compared with no aid, soft aid, soft intervention, and hard intervention, respectively. The experimental results confirmed that coordinated cognitive assistance is the most effective approach to assist both primary and secondary tasks. It also proves to be a more enjoyable and less obtrusive assistance system when compared to other individual types of assistance. In addition, coordinated cognitive assistance can be extended to other real-time control relevant tasks.

Abstract:
A key aspect of robotic assistants is their ability to contextualize their behavior according to different needs of assistive scenarios. This work presents an ontology-based knowledge representation and reasoning approach supporting the synthesis of personalized behavior of robotic assistants. It introduces an ontological model of health state and functioning of persons based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. Moreover, it borrows the concepts of affordance and function from the literature of robotics and manufacturing and adapts them to robotic (physical and cognitive) assistance domain. Knowledge reasoning mechanisms are developed on top of the resulting ontological model to reason about stimulation capabilities of a robot and health state of a person in order to identify action opportunities and achieve personalized assistance. Experimental tests assess the performance of the proposed approach and its capability of dealing with different profiles and stimuli.

Abstract:
The winter navigation system in the Northern Baltic Sea is globally one of the largest regional arrangements to ensure year-round maritime transports in a sea area challenged by ice every year. Thousands of assistance operations, including hundreds of tows, are dependent on the regions’ relatively small amount of icebreakers’ capability to perform assistances in a safe and efficient manner. For the winter navigation system to work efficiently, high assistance speeds are necessary to release icebreakers from their previous assistance task to their next one.

Abstract:
Small family farms account for 72 percent of the farms in the world. Most of these farms, in developing countries, face labor productivity gaps. One of the strategies to increase agricultural productivity focuses on implementing technical assistance programs. Using agriculture microdata, we estimate the marginal treatment effect of receiving technical assistance services. We find that technical assistance generates heterogeneous effects. On average, agricultural units receiving technical assistance increased their agricultural production by 50.4 percent. However, there is important heterogeneity of technical assistance’s effects across the production units’ unobserved and observed characteristics.
