EEG-based neuro-adaptive systems are becoming increasingly popular in the field of learning and education. Their ability to detect changes in brain activity in real-time makes them unique and enables monitoring mental workload (MWL) and fatigue. We present a neuro-adaptive system that combines an Augmented Reality (AR) piano tutorial with online EEG measurements of its user, delivered by a passive Brain computer Interface (BCI) system. The MWL was measured by means of EEG and a Filter Bank Common Spatial Patter algorithm (FBCSP) was trained to differentiate between low and high levels of MWL. Low levels were connected to the 0-back task and high levels to the 2-back task. The n-back task was a calibration task to train a binary Machine Learning (ML) classifier to differentiate between low and high MWL. This trained ML algorithm was then used as the central element of the passive BCI, which constantly classified small windows of the EEG during the piano tutorial and adapted the difficulty of the tutorial. 22 Participants were randomly separated into two groups: adaptive and non-adaptive piano tutorial. The results of the non-adaptive group showed significantly higher levels of classified MWL throughout the piano tutorial.

Robotic grippers are receiving increasing attention in various industries as essential components of robots for interacting and manipulating objects. While significant progress has been made in the past, conventional rigid grippers still have limitations in handling irregular objects and can damage fragile objects. We have shown that soft grippers offer deformability to adapt to a variety of object shapes and maximize object protection. At the same time, dynamic vision sensors (e.g., event-based cameras) are capable of capturing small changes in brightness and streaming them asynchronously as events, unlike RGB cameras, which do not perform well in low-light and fast-moving environments. In this paper, a dynamic-vision-based algorithm is proposed to measure the force applied to the gripper. In particular, we first set up a DVXplorer Lite series event camera to capture twenty-five sets of event data. Second, motivated by the impressive performance of the Vision Transformer (ViT) algorithm in dense image prediction tasks, we propose a new approach that demonstrates the potential for force estimation and meets the requirements of real-world scenarios. We extensively evaluate the proposed algorithm on a wide range of scenarios and settings, and show that it consistently outperforms recent approaches.

A better understanding of interactive pedestrian behavior in critical traffic situations is essential for the development of enhanced pedestrian safety systems. Real-world traffic observations play a decisive role in this, since they represent behavior in an unbiased way. In this work, we present an approach of how a subset of very considerable pedestrian-vehicle interactions can be derived from a camerabased observation system. For this purpose, we have examined road user trajectories automatically for establishing temporal and spatial relationships, using 110h hours of video recordings. In order to identify critical interactions, our approach combines the metric post-encroachment time with a newly introduced motion adaption metric. From more than 11,000 reconstructed pedestrian trajectories, 259 potential scenarios remained, using a post-encroachment time threshold of 2s. However, in 95% of cases, no adaptation of the pedestrian behavior was observed due to avoiding criticality. Applying the proposed motion adaption metric, only 21 critical scenarios remained. Manual investigations revealed that critical pedestrian vehicle interactions were present in 7 of those. They were further analyzed and made publicly available for developing pedestrian behavior models 3 3 https://***/10.3217/xytxf-kjn62. The results indicate that critical interactions in which the pedestrian perceives and reacts to the vehicle at a relatively late stage can be extracted using the proposed method.
