A plug computer is essentially a cross between an embedded computer and a traditional computer, and with many of the same capabilities. However, the architecture of a plug computer makes it difficult to apply commonly...

theories of embodied cognition and active vision suggest that perception is constructed through interaction and becomes meaningful because it is grounded in the agent's activity. We developed a model to illustrate and implement these views, Following its intrinsic motivation, the agent autonomously learns to coordinate its motor actions withthe information received from its sensory system. Besides illustrating theories of active vision, this model suggests new ways to implement vision and intrinsic motivation in artificial systems. Specifically, we coupled an intrinsically motivated schema mechanism with a visual system. To connect vision with sequences, we made the visual system react to movements in the visual field rather than merely transmitting static patterns.

Mobile devices are rapidly becoming the default communication device of choice. the rapid advances being experienced in this area has resulted in mobile devices undertaking many of the tasks once restricted to desktop computers. One key area is that of voice recognition and synthesis. advances in this area have produced new voice-based applications such as visual voice mail and voice activated search. the rise in popularity of these types of applications has resulted in the incorporation of a variety of major languages, ensuring a more global use of the technology.

While Open Courseware (OCW) initiatives have been widely adopted by universities, little attention has been paid to whether the presentation formats and delivery modes of current OCW offerings are satisfying from end users' perspectives. To address this issue, we executed two surveys, the first one covering technical aspects of OCWs, such as presentation formats, delivery mode, and the second one inquiring about the users' perspective. From the technical survey, we find that while current OCWs use different kind of presentation formats, such as text, screencast video, all of them are delivered in asynchronous mode in which learners can only access courseware produced in advance. the second survey indicates that richness of the media and availability of live access in OCW are among the users' top concerns. Based on these results, we propose an optimized presentation format and a live open course model to further improve the users' satisfaction of OCW.

In this paper, we propose a novel environment called RoboTable2 that supports users with limited programming knowledge or experience in conducting robot programming. We have devised a tabletop platform that can simultaneously recognize multi-touch input and track physical robots, enabling users to conduct robotprogramming tasks in an intuitive manner. A user study comparing the proposed and a conventional graphical programming environment was conducted, involving ten university students with no programming experience. the effects of the proposed environment were clarified via video analysis, questionnaires and usage logs. A pilot study was also conducted to verify how easily users could design and develop applications on RoboTable2. the lessons learned with respect to design guidelines for the proposed programming environment and issues for investigation are discussed.
