Research on the Evaluation Index System of Autonomous Ship Berthing and Unberthing Function

, 2022
At present, there are no standards and specifications of evaluation for autonomous ships. In response to this problem, an evaluation index system for autonomous berthing and unberthing is established. By analyzing the factors affecting autonomous berthing and unberthing, combining the key points of operations and relevant conventions and norms, the ...

Attentional territories: The influence of gaze and interpersonal distance in the navigation of public space

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human gaze is a potent social signal; it communicates attention, intention and social engagement, and allows observers to infer not only where others are attending but also how they are socially related. Although gaze has been extensively studied in direct social interaction, far less is known about how it shapes the perceptions and actions of
