The pandemic halted the in-person artwork selection typical of Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) exhibits. As an adaptation, PCAP invited artists incarcerated in Michigan state prisons to create small-scale artwork and send their entries by mail.

A link to the exhibit will be posted at https://myumi.ch/kxZ1D on May 19, 2021.

The exhibit includes 141 artworks, featuring a diversity of both artists and artistic choices. All the 2D artworks measure 4 in. x 6 in. and the 3D artworks no more than 4 in. x 6 in. x 4 in.

Artwork sales appointments are available May 20–27, 2021. Book your appointment on the exhibit website. Artwork will remain available for view after the sales period closes.

This exhibit is supported by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, Om of Medicine, and hundreds of individual donors. Thank you to everyone who made this show possible!

Join WISE in a fun, interactive workshop to figure out how to answer the question- so what is your thesis about?

We'll use journalism techniques to turn a complicated idea into a concise explanation that can be understood by lay audiences and other professionals outside your field of expertise. We'll then put it to the test with a version of the 3 Minute Thesis game called Thesis Half Life. Explain what you do in 6 minutes, 3 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds, and 15 seconds. We'll have a great time practicing your answer to the most common question a grad student gets.

This event will be offered in person and live online at two different times. Pick the version that works best for you!

Real-time Human Workload Estimation and Its Application in Adaptive Haptic Shared Control (May 25, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84054 84054-21619770@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, May 25, 2021 1:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Robotics

Automated vehicles (AVs) are promising to have the potential to reduce driving-related injuries and deaths. However, autonomous driving technology is currently limited in its scope and reliability, giving rise to the semi-autonomous driving model, where the autonomy and the human share the control of the vehicle. Workload, despite being an important human factor, has not yet been considered when designing adaptive shared control. Recently, researchers have started to apply machine learning techniques to classify mental workload into different levels. However, most of these studies have adopted either a single-model-single-feature approach or a single-model-all-features approach. However different machine learning models are suitable for different features, how to leverage different models for different features is critical.

To address these shortcomings and research gaps, the goals of this dissertation were to (1) examine whether and to what extent haptic shared control performance can be improved by incorporating operators' workload; (2) develop a computational model for workload estimation, and the model should be able to leverage different machine learning models that work best for different features; and (3) investigate the generalizability of the workload estimation model. To address these research goals, this dissertation was composed of four research phases with two pilot studies and four human subject experiments.

(1) Collaborating with Yifan Weng, Dr. Tulga Ersal, and Prof. Jeffrey Stein from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan, we developed a teleoperated dual-task shared control simulation platform where the human shared control of a ground vehicle with autonomy while performing a surveillance task simultaneously. In addition, we developed a real-time eye-tracking system based on Tobii Pro Glasses 2 to measure the human gaze points in a world frame and pupil sizes.

(2) We proposed a workload-adaptive haptic shared control scheme together with our collaborators. We conducted two human subject experiments during this phase. The results indicated that the proposed workload-adaptive haptic shared control scheme can reduce human workload, increase human trust in the system, increase driving performance, and reduce human effort without sacrificing surveillance task performance.

(3) We proposed a Bayesian inference model for workload estimation that can leverage the different machine learning models that work best for different features. Specifically, we used support-vector machines (SVMs) for pupil size change, the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) for gaze trajectory, SVMs for fixation feature, and Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) for fixation trajectory. The empirical results indicated that our proposed model achieved a 0.82 F1 score for workload imposed by varying surveillance task urgency.

(4) We investigated the generalizability of our proposed Bayesian inference model for workload estimation by conducting two human subject experiments with 24 participants and using different factors to impose human workload, i.e., obstacle headway and driving speed. The results indicated that our proposed model achieved a 0.70 F1 score for the workload imposed by obstacle avoidance and the personalized version of our proposed model can distinguish the workload imposed by different driving speeds under high surveillance task urgency.

Webinar: Can Oyster Aquaculture Help Restore Coastal Water Quality? (May 25, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84020 84020-21619597@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, May 25, 2021 3:00pm

Excess nitrogen in coastal waters can lead to a variety of problems, including algal blooms, fish kills and beach closures, but there aren’t easy solutions. In Massachusetts, towns along Cape Cod have been exploring the use of non-traditional methods for meeting nitrogen reduction requirements, such as establishing shellfish aquaculture operations in coastal waters. This webinar will feature a recently completed research project that addressed critical information gaps identified by water quality managers and regulators - specifically the needs to quantify the nitrogen removal rates of commercial shellfish growing practices, and to identify best practices for siting and maintaining aquaculture operations that maximize benefits for water quality.

Godspell (May 25, 2021 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83914 83914-21612992@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, May 25, 2021 8:00pm

Department of Musical Theatre

Broadway actor Telly Leung directs for the first time as he leads the Musical Theatre students in this fresh interpretation of this iconic show. Leung, who starred in Godspell during the 2011 revival, helped guide the cast in making the flexible script as relevant today as it was when Godspell first premiered in 1971. Featuring such showtune standards as “Turn Back, O Man,” “Day by Day,” and “Learn Your Lessons Well”, Godspell is a tribute to vaudeville, breathing parable, and protest piece all at the same time. Prepare ye for the Godspell you know and love from 50 years ago, but told through the perspective of these incredible young theater-makers.
