Inaccessibility of the buildings is the most common obstacle which presents barriers for older adults with different motor abilities. An inclusive design process, where elderly and designers work together, is required to overcome this obstacle. To do so, this study proposes a user-oriented model (i) to define a knowledge presentation for designers; (ii) to assist them during the development of accessible homes and (iii) to accommodate exemplary home attributes for activities of daily living (ADL). The ontology for this model was first constructed by collecting user information through LEGO® Serious Play® on the four subdomains of motor abilities: (1) strength; (2) balance; (3) locomotion; and (4) endurance. The findings of this study are significant for future aging studies and mobile computing researches in terms of indicating that diverse motor ability difficulties are associated with different requirements of accessibility attributes, and structured knowledge is required to diagrammatize their association with ADL.

Fragility analysis of flat-slab structures Erberik, Murat Altuğ (2004-06-01) Flat-slab RC buildings exhibit several advantages over conventional moment-resisting frames. However, the structural effectiveness of flat-slab construction is hindered by its alleged inferior performance under earthquake loading. Although flat-slab systems are widely used in earthquake prone regions of the world, fragility curves for this type of construction are not available in the literature. This study focuses on the derivation of such fragility curves using medium-rise flat-slab buildings with masonry...
Augmented reality activities for children: a comparative analysis on understanding geometric shapes and improving spatial skills Gecü-Parmaksız, Zeynep; Delialioğlu, Ömer; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2017) The main purpose of this study is to compare the use of virtual manipulatives such as Augmented Reality (AR) applications to traditional techniques (physical manipulatives) for teaching geometric shapes and improve spatial skills to preschool children. The lesson content was determined, and the materials were designed for children. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in a public primary school with 72 participants. The children were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Spatial abil...
An Adaptive Approach for Road Boundary Detection Using 2D LIDAR Sensor Demir, S. O.; Ertop, T. E.; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan (2017-11-18) Robotic ground vehicles are commonly used in various road conditions for performing special tasks with different levels of autonomy. This requires the robots to possess a certain degree of perception about the road conditions up ahead and make plans accordingly. It is essential for the robots to be able to quickly adapt their perception for various road conditions they operate. In this paper, an adaptive method for road boundary extraction using 2D LIDAR sensor is presented. A three-stage detection algorith...
Adaptive structured and unstructured road detection using LIDAR and dome-camera Demir, Sinan Özgün; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017) Robotic ground vehicles are widely used in different road conditions to perform various tasks under semi- or fully-autonomous operation. To accomplish the given tasks, the vehicle should detect road regions accurately. Also, for a successful operation, the mobile robot requires a quick adaptation for changing road conditions. The objective of this study was developing an adaptive road detection algorithm for a semi-autonomous mobile platform (GOAT). For that purpose three different methods were developed fo...
Eliciting Children’s Expectations for Hand Prostheses through Generative Design Tools Dursun, Melis; Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2021-07-27) When designing assistive devices for children with disabilities, designers mostly consider technical and functional aspects and overlook factors that affect their usage from children’s perspective. Therefore, in most cases, assistive devices do not fully meet the needs of the children and may create a negative effect on children’s well-being. To explore the opinion’s of children using 3D printed hand prosthetics in Country-Xx, individual generative sessions were conducted with four children with limb defici...
