4TU.H&T Hectic Haptics Hackathon on telepresence, teleoperation, embodiment and haptics
4TU.H&T Hectic Haptics Hackathon on telepresence, teleoperation, embodiment and haptics
On Wednesday, 21st of March, we held our first 4TU Hackathon on telepresence, teleoperation, embodiment and haptics. Fifteen researchers and students with various backgrounds, ranging from from control engineering to philosophy, met up in the DesignLab at the University of Twente. Besides researchers with 4TU H&T affiliation, there was also a group of researchers from TNO who collaborate with the UTwente on this topic in the context of the I-Botics project (www.i-botics.com).

Writhe-athon
The second 4TU write-athon was held in Voorthuizen, the Netherlands and attended by students from Delft, Twente, and Eindhoven. The invited writing coach was Dave Randall, an Emeritus professor at University of Siegen. PhD students prepared drafts to be reviewed before the write-athon and Dave shared feedback as well as additional resources for each student’s writing. The presentation by  Dave at the write-athon was on writing techniques and tips on the publication process.

Two-day workshop on Virtual and Augmented Reality
Two-day workshop on Virtual and Augmented Reality
Virtual and augmented reality technologies offer people immersive experiences by exposing their senses to computer-generated imagery, sound, and haptic stimulations. Virtual reality temporarily isolates people from the real world and offers them a computer-generated environment. Augmented reality, on the other hand, blends the real world with computer-generated objects. In two days of workshops, key interaction concepts behind these technologies will be discussed, as well as their applications in the mental health domain.

Research meet: Fitter, happier, more productive? The Science and Technology of Behavior Change
Research meet: Fitter, happier, more productive? The Science and Technology of Behavior Change
Technology is seen to help countless people in many ways, but does it actually help people become fitter, happier or more productive? The road to a healthier life can be interpreted in more than one way and sometimes with unforeseen contingencies when technology is involved. The research meet "Fitter, happier, more productive? The Science and Technology of Behavior Change" that took place on September 25th at TU Eindhoven addressed this topic.

Workshop on Agent-Based Modeling
Workshop on Agent-Based Modeling
Agent-based modeling (ABM) has gradually become an asset for scientists working in many different fields to understand complex systems. Its popularity has also been raising in behavioral and social sciences, when researchers start to formally model human social behaviors as interactions between human agents. On September 11th, 2017, Paul E. Smaldino, an expert of ABM from UC Merced gave a timely needed workshop on the topic at TU Eindhoven.
