Citizen Social Lab: A digital platform for human behaviour experimentation within a citizen science framework

open access: yes, 2018
Cooperation is one of the behavioral traits that define human beings, however we are still trying to understand why humans cooperate. Behavioral experiments have been largely conducted to shed light into the mechanisms behind cooperation and other ...

A Time Comparison of Computer-Assisted and Manual Bathymetric Processing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We describe an experiment designed to determine the time required to process Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) data using the CUBE (Combined Uncertainty and Bathymetry Estimator) [Calder & Mayer, 2003; Calder, 2003] and Navigation Surface [Smith et al., 2002;

Sensor System for Rescue Robots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A majority of rescue worker fatalities are a result of on-scene responses. Existing technologies help assist the first responders in scenarios of no light, and there even exist robots that can navigate radioactive areas. However, none are able to be both
