Q&A for Wearable Sanitizer: Design and Implementation of an Open-source, On-body Sanitizer

Abstract: We present an open-source, wearable sanitizer that provides just-in-time, automatic dispensing of alcohol to the wearer's hand or nearby objects using sensors and programmable cues. We systematically explore the design space for wearable sanitizer aiming to create a device that not only seamlessly integrates with the user's body.

Q&A for Dual Body: Method of Tele-Cooperative Avatar Robot with Passive Sensation Feedback to Reduce Latency Perception

Abstract: Dual Body was developed to be a telexistence system, one in which the user does not need to continuously operate an avatar robot but is still able to passively perceive feedback sensations when the robot performs actions. Such a method can highly reduces the latency perception and the fatigue feelings.
