We present a user study analyzing head-gaze- based robot control and foveated visual augmentation in a simulated search-and-rescue task. Results show that foveated augmentation significantly improves task performance, reduces cognitive load by 38%, and shortens task time by over 60%. Head-gaze patterns analysed over both the entire task duration and shorter time segments show that near and far att
This paper explores the dynamics of human-robot collaboration through a comparative study of human-assisted and system-assisted approaches in a search and rescue application. Leveraging virtual environments and mixed-reality interfaces, the study evaluates task performance, workload, usability, and subjective experiences of participants. Results indicate that the system-assisted approach significa
In this paper we study how transforming regular reinforcement learning environments into goal-conditioned environments can let agents learn to solve tasks autonomously and reward-free. We show that an agent can learn to solve tasks by selecting its own goals in an environment-agnostic way, at training times comparable to externally guided reinforcement learning. Our method is independent of the un
The Academic Profession in Swedish HigherEducation: Continuity and Change in the New CenturyThe purpose of this article is to describe the composition and internal stratification of the university teaching staff at Swedish higher education institutions. We show that four fault lines shape the higher education field in the 21st century. These are, firstly, the resource hierarchies both between old

Simulation of conflict situations for autonomous driving research is crucial for understanding and managing interactions between Automated Vehicles (AVs) and human drivers. This paper presents a set of exemplary conflict scenarios in CARLA that arise in shared autonomy settings, where both AVs and human drivers must navigate complex traffic environments. We explore various conflict situations, foc
Robotic systems often face execution failures due to unexpected obstacles, sensor errors, or environmental changes. Traditional failure recovery methods rely on predefined strategies or human intervention, making them less adaptable. This paper presents a unified failure recovery framework that combines Vision-Language Models (VLMs), a reactive planner, and Behavior Trees (BTs) to enable real-time

Distributed MIMO and integrated sensing and communication are expected to be key technologies in future wireless systems, enabling reliable, low-latency communication and accurate localization. Dedicated localization solutions must support distributed architecture, provide scalability across different system configurations and meet strict latency requirements. We present a scalable message-passing
The tourism industry has the potential to bring sustainable growth to regions suffering from economic hardship. However, in order for tourism to live up to this potential, it is imperative that the traditional dynamics of tourism development are challenged. Decentralized decision-making and community empowerment have proven to be powerful factors in ensuring bottom-up development in the case of th
In the beginning of the 1990’s community service was introduced at a couple of Swedish courts as an experiment. It was to be a compliment to probation and together the two were supposed to be considered the equivalent in harshness of a shorter prison sentence. After a few years the experiment was extended to all Swedish courts and by the end of the decade community service was made a permanent par
The following paper examines the production of memory in Berlin Global, an exhibition housed at the Humboldt Forum in Berlin, through employing methods of discourse and narrative analysis. The analysis aims to deconstruct memories of the German Democratic Republic present in the exhibition and how these are integrated into greater national and international historical narratives through the use of
The aim of our study was to examine society‘s attitudes towards the causes of homelessness and to identify where the responsibility lies. We have compared the attitudes of men and women and also analysed our results from the perspective of stigma. We have conducted our study in a training facility using questionnaires. We have investigated what people believe is the reason why individuals become h
This paper examines the development of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) meta-debate in Sweden before and after the release of ChatGPT. From the perspective of agenda-setting theory, we propose that it is an elite outside of party politics that is leading the debate – i.e. that the politicians are relatively silent when it comes to this rapid development. We also suggest that the debate has become
When developing general-purpose robot software components, we often lack complete knowledge of the specific contexts in which they will be executed. This limits our ability to make predictions, including our ability to detect program bugs statically. Since running a robot is an expensive task, finding errors at runtime can prolong the debugging loop or even cause safety hazards. This paper propose
Code review is a well-established and valuable software development practice associated with code quality, interpersonal, and team benefits. However, it is also time-consuming, with developers spending 10–20% of their working time doing code reviews. With recent advances in AI capabilities, there are more and more initiatives aimed at fully automating code reviews to save time and streamline softw
