Profesjonelle interpersonlige kompetanser i samsvar med yrkesetiske normer og verdier
- 2008

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The research aims at gaining knowledge about interpersonal competencies at work when professionals lead and counsel the change processes of other individuals in accordance with the norms and values of the profession. Norms and values are disclosed from the ethical guidelines for five professions (physicians, nurses, social workers, psychologists and teachers). Critical incidents in the five professions are analysed to obtain knowledge about norms and values in a working relationship between the professional and the other individual. The personal competencies that meet the requirements of the ethical guidelines are discussed. The examination of norms and values concludes with three primary categories to denote ways of performing: Recognition, treatment and exercising authority. The analysis of critical incidents shows similarities in value working relationships across professions in aspects of time, personal qualities, relations, autonomy and motivation. Competencies, in accordance with ethical guidelines, are disclosed when the professional's respect for the other individual's dignity interacts with the other's trust in the professional's authority. The interaction establishes a context for the other’s change process. The context is maintained in the way the professional pays attention to the other individual's flow of experience. The maintenance depends on the professional's awareness of the other in his/her communication and judgment. The research brought forth knowledge of what makes up the competencies and their interactions. The knowledge contributes to education where professionals lead and counsel the other's change process.

- The aim of this paper is to create an interface for human-robot interaction. Specifically, musical performance parameters (i.e. vibrato expression) of the Waseda Flutist Robot No.4 Refined IV (WF-4RIV) are to be manipulated. Our research is focused on enabling the WF-4RIV to interact with human players (musicians) in a natural way. In this paper, as a first approach, a vision processing algorithm, that is able to track the 3D-orientation and position of a musical instrument, was developed. In particular, the robot acquires image data through two cameras attached to its head. Using color histogram matching and a particle filter, the position of the musicianpsilas hands on the instrument are tracked. Analysis of this data determines orientation and location of the instrument. These parameters are mapped to manipulate the musical expression of the WF-4RIV, more specifically sound vibrato and volume values. We present preliminary experiments to determine if the robot may dynamically change musical parameters while interacting with a human player (i.e. vibrato etc.). From the experimental results, we may confirm the feasibility of the interaction during a performance, although further research must be carried out to consider the physical constraints of the flutist robot

- The aim of our research is to develop an anthropomorphic flutist robot that on the one hand reproduces the human motor skills required for playing the flute, and on the other hand displays cognitive capabilities for interacting with other (human) musicians. In this paper, we detail the recent mechanical improvements on the Waseda Flutist Robot (WF-4RIV), enhancing the realistic production of the flute sound. In particular, improved lips, oral cavity and tonguing are introduced and their mechanisms described: The possibility to deform the lip shape in 3-DOF, allows us to accurately control the characteristics of the air-stream (width, thickness and angle). An improved tonguing mechanism (1-DOF) has been designed to reproduce double tonguing. Furthermore we present the implementation of a real-time interaction system with human partners. We developed, as a first approach, a vision processing algorithm to track the 3D-orientation and position of a musical instrument: Image data is recorded using two cameras attached to the head of the robot, and processed in real-time. The proposed algorithm is based on color histogram matching and particle filter techniques to follow the position of a musicianpsilas hands on an instrument. Data analysis enables us to determine the orientation and location of the instrument. We map these parameters to control musical performance parameters of the WF-4RIV, such as sound vibrato and sound volume. A set of experiments were proposed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed tracking system during interaction with a human player. We conclude, that the quality of the musical performance of the WF-4RIV and its capabilities to interact with musical partners, have been significantly improved by the implementation of the techniques, that are proposed in this paper

- Our research aims to develop an anthropomorphic flutist robot as a benchmark for the better understanding of interaction between musicians and musical performance robots from a musical point of view. As a long-term goal of our research, we would like to enable such robots to play actively together with a human band, and create novel ways of musical expression. For this purpose, we focus on enhancing the perceptual capabilities of the flutist robot to process musical information coming from the aural and visual perceptual channels. In this paper, we introduce, as a first approach, a hands-free gesture-based control interface designed to modify musical parameters in real-time. In particular, we describe a set of virtual controllers, that a composer can manipulate through gestures of with a musical instrument. The gestures are identified by 2-D motion sensitive areas which graphically represent common control interfaces used in music production. The resulting information from the vision processing is then transformed into MIDI messages, which are subsequently played by the flute robot. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed gestural interface, we performed experiments to musically interact with musical partners. iquestFrom the experimental results we concluded that our method satisfies the technical and idiosyncratic requirements for being a suitable tool for musical performance.
