Multi-sensory autonomous cognitive systems interacting with dynamic environments for perceiving and learning affordances (MACS) Tekinalp, Ozan(2007-11-30) In Cognitive Science, an affordance is a resource or support that the environment offers an agent for action, which the agent can directly perceive and employ. Only rarely has this concept been used in Robotics and AI, although it offers an original perspective on coupling perception, action and reasoning, differing from standard hybrid robot control architectures. Perceiving affordances in the environment means perception as filtered through the individual capabilities for physical action and through th...
The negative effect of technology-driven product design on user-product interaction and product usability Gültekin, Pelin; Erbuğ, Çiğdem; Department of Industrial Design (2004) In the last decades, the rapid change and prevalent use of technology are concerning, as they induced effects which mainly altered various encompassing contexts like consumer market dynamics and product development processes. Evidently, these transformations also affect the way users interact with products. It is observed that, technological novelties are applied in the competitive market as a tool for product differentiation. In addition, the rapid development of these technologies is a dominating factor o...
