to engage the player inthree different modes. The first mode involves the robot tracking the player and serving ping pongballs to them at their location. The second phase involves the robot purposefully shooting balls atareas where the player is not present. The third mode alternates between serving ping pong balls atthe player's position and serving ping pong balls at areas where the player is not present. For thisreason, a convoluted neural network is utilized, and the model created was simulated withmatplotlib, where the model's accuracy was tested. The raspberry pi 4 b+ serves as the robot's brain,on which a generalized neural network was trained to detect the shape of a human player as well ashand signals for numbers one, two, and three

In some cases it is possible to use randomized experiments to pilot thesesolutions. A randomized experiment, also known as Randomized Control Trial, or A/B test, is anevaluation strategy that assigns participants into treatment and control groups randomly. Therandomization design is necessary to isolate the intervention as the cause of changes betweentwo groups (e.g., treatment and control), and not to some other co-occurring variation.

This time frame includes the early phase of theCOVID-19 pandemic lockdown that began in spring 2020. Thus, many students’ reflections werenot yet impacted by that event. We particularly focused on students’ reports in either technicalactivities or research activities and their career goals for analysis, which helped us answer theresearch questions. For technical work experience, we chose four open-ended questions from thesurvey to analyze in this study (see Appendix A).

student decision-making are likely to make the greatestimprovement in retention rates.Research has revealed that grades received in the first semester are strong indicators for studentpersistence [4, 5, 6]. This is especially true in mathematics courses; those who perform well (i.e.,receive an A or B) are likely to persist, whereas students who perform poorly (i.e., receiving a D,F, or W) are likely to leave (e.g., [7]).Understanding the factors that lead to persistence should help stakeholders (e.g., instructors and ad-visors) develop interventions to counteract these problems. The consequences of low first-semesterperformance can be many. Poor grades from the first semester can lower students’ self-perceptionsand restrict their eligibility for

For example,the alter “John Deer” could be referenced ‘Jon Deare’ in the name-generator data. In both cases,it is important for researchers to identify and correctly resolve name variants in the interactiondata to build correct ego-networks. While manual approaches to find name variances exist [20],several computational methods for identifying string similarity show promise in rapidlyresolving reference ambiguity.
