SUMMARY:ISE Seminar: Promote safety through ubiquitous sensing - Dr. Xu Xu\
 , North Carolina State University
DESCRIPTION:UF ISE Spring Seminar Series\n2/10/23 at 10:40 AM\nIn Person: W
 eil Hall 406\nOr Zoom: https://ufl.zoom.us/j/97583979403\nDr. Xu Xu\, Ph.D
 . with North Carolina State University\nTitle: "Promote safety through ubi
 quitous sensing"\nAbstract: Ubiquitous sensing is a thriving research topi
 c in recent years\, thanks to the proliferation of low-cost portable senso
 rs such as cameras and inertial measurement units. With ubiquitous sensing
 \, a human-centric intelligent system uses signals collected from sensors 
 to perform context-aware computing with respect to humans’ physical and 
 cognitive activities. In this talk\, we will discuss a few applications of
  ubiquitous sensing with an emphasis on safety improvement. The first appl
 ication sought to identify occupational tasks with high risk of musculoske
 letal disorder through a camera\, the second application focused on recogn
 izing distractive driving behaviors through a wearable sensor\, and the th
 ird application focused on collision avoidance between human workers and c
 ollaborative robots. The talk will also cover some recent studies where au
 gmented reality is integrated with ergonomics and biomechanics.\nBio: Dr. 
 Xu is an associate professor in Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial a
 nd Systems Engineering at North Carolina State University (NCSU). He recei
 ved his MS and PhD degrees from NCSU before moving on to a postdoc in the 
 School of Public Health at Harvard University. From there he became a rese
 arch scientist at Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety. He joined 
 the faculty of NCSU in 2016 to pursue his research interests in the areas 
 of biomechanical modeling\, optimization\, simulation\, and data mining wi
 th respect to human daily activities to promote injury prevention and safe
 ty.\nPlease contact Barbara Martin with any questions or information neede
