Presentation: Bridging Design and Perception: Novel Tools and Technologies for Creating Effective Human-Robot Interactions Abstract: Understanding human perception of robots is crucial for effective human-robot interaction, particularly as robots move into more collaborative roles with humans. Gaining an understanding of the multitude of factors that affect how a human perceives a robot requires a multifaceted approach. One method of investigating this perception involves evaluating novel methods for human-robot teaming. This talk will present the evaluation of an Augmented Reality interface for human-robot teaming, discussing its implications for effective interactions. Another method of approaching this topic concerns the effects of a robot’s design on how it is perceived. This talk also presents a novel interface for participatory robot design, aiming to provide researchers with tools and data for better understanding what aspects of their robot design influence how it is perceived.

Abstract: [] Cloud computing forms the backbone of modern ubiquitous computing services that we utilize on a daily basis across our many smart and connected devices. Today, general-purpose chat-bots, social media, online gaming, recommendation engines, and billions of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices rely heavily on cloud computing platforms. These platforms consist of data centers that can have hundreds of thousands of compute servers, as well as extensive networking and storage support to meet the growing performance needs of contemporary cloud applications. Over time, these data centers have become one of the largest energy consumers in the world, consuming up to 2% of the global energy supply, with experts estimating a rise to 13% by 2030. In the past, data center energy consumption was simply considered a cost burden to be minimized to increase profits for providers. However, with the increasing concern about climate change, and the rising CO 2 emissions and water use associated with energy production and data center operation, data centers are now seen as one of the biggest problems in achieving the goal of limiting global warming. In this talk, I will present my vision of how we can hope to achieve environmentally sustainable cloud computing. I will discuss the evolution of cloud computing, promising green computing approaches that are emerging, and the difficult open problems that must be addressed to meet climate goals in the future.

The presentation discusses the challenges in achieving digital privacy and the important role of technologists and policymakers while encouraging engagement from individuals and businesses. When talking about the complexity and the importance of digital privacy, there is currently a balancing act between privacy rights and technological advancements. As technologies in digital privacy, like encryption techniques, continue to evolve, it will be essential for policymakers, businesses, and individuals to work together ensuring that personal data is protected, and privacy rights are upheld in the digital age. In building trust, collaboration among technologists, policymakers and businesses must effectively address digital privacy challenges and protect consumer rights. To help bridge the digital privacy and communication gap between technologists and policymakers, as well as building trust among the public at large and businesses, this presentation will also include discussion on the IEEE Digital Privacy Model. The model is intended not to provide a prescription and implementation of solutions but serves as a vehicle for productive discussion on covering the broad and dynamic aspects of digital privacy issues.

The IEEE Student Branches of the Denver Metropolitan Area will have a chance to tour a 115kV distribution substation owned by United Power. The tour will be guided by United Power's Engineering Director, Donald McDaniel and CU Denver graduate Cory van Duyne. The substation is located about 30min north of the CU Denver campus. We will be able to see a few breakers hooked up in a ring bus configuration, a few instrument transformers (CTs and PTs), a 115/13.2kV transformer and the control room that has a few protective relays and etc. There is also a new 8MW battery installation at the substation.
