Road users' behavior at marked Crosswalks on channelized right-turn lanes at intersections in the state of Qatar
( MDPI AG , 2019 , Article)At non-signalized marked crosswalks, pedestrian priority is neither well-defined nor well acknowledged by drivers. This paper presents the findings of an investigation on both driver and pedestrian behavior at non-signalized ... -
Robostress, a New Approach to Understanding Robot Usage, Technology, and Stress
( Springer , 2019 , Conference Paper)Robostress is a user’s perceived or measured stress in relation to the use of interactive physical robots. It is an offshoot from technostress where a user perceives experience of stress when using technologies. We explored ... -
Robotic Trains as an Educational and Therapeutic Tool for Autism Spectrum Disorder Intervention
( springer link , 2019 , Conference Paper)Social robots are emerging to become useful assistive tools for use in the therapy and education of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The nature of ASD causes its symptoms and manifestations to vary widely, ... -
A robust experimental-based artificial neural network approach for photovoltaic maximum power point identification considering electrical, thermal and meteorological impact
