Humanoid robots might become more and more present in the most ordinary contexts of millions of people worldwide. Humans reason about these artificial agents mainly through the attribution of human characteristics, a process called ...

The purpose of this study is to extend the small number of applied research studies in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) sensor control to a more ecologically valid human performance application set (i.e., airborne object tracking). In ...

• This study is the first of its kind to systematically evaluate the impact of spatial discordance on human performance while in flight.

• I explore how people account for and experience the temporalities of their daily life changes through 16 semi-structured interviews.

The idea of time as an existential concern has found scarce attention in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community. Still, time in our life is mostly experienced in connection with important existential matters. Life changes are ...

Curiosity is an important factor that enables independent learning in children. Research suggests that it is also a competence that can be fostered by training specific metacognitive skills and information-searching behaviors. In this ...

• Learning technologies can be used to train children’s curiosity-driven behaviors.

Pre-compiled guidelines with a static question list can stimulate critical thinking while reading a scientific paper. However, they could be less engaging than taking live question prompts from others. In this paper, we develop CReBot ...

• This paper develops a CReBot that interactively prompts critical reading questions.

• Immersive virtual reality-based tasks are suitable tools for memory assessment.

Virtual Reality (VR) has the capacity to be used in cognitive rehabilitation interventions for diagnostic and training purposes. This technology allows the development of proposals that traditionally ...
