Current physical biometric verification systems are hampered by a major vulnerability: spoofing. Keeping biological information, such as the face, fingerprints, and irises, concealed from others in daily life is difficult, and therefore theft and counterfeit of exposed biological information can be relatively easily accomplished by first capturing an individual's targeted information as an image and...
CEOs of big companies may travel frequently to give their philosophies and policies to the employees who are working at world wide branches. Video technology makes it possible to give their lectures anywhere and anytime in the world very easily. However, 2-dimensional video systems lack the reality. If we can give natural realistic lectures through humanoid robots, CEOs do not need to meet the employees...
We propose a new method of biometric identification using the bending motion of fingers that is one of the highest repeated motions of the body. Forefingers consist of hinge joints that enable them to move in one direction only. They also have a tendon that helps the first joint of the finger move in tandem with the second joint. It causes high repeatability. In the algorithm, curvature, one of the...
In order to predict of accuracy of movement just before the onset of movement using biological signals, the relationships between MRCP measured as a physiological index and the accuracy of task performance were investigated. As experiments, subjects touched the target appearing 300 pixels away from a start point in a vertical direction on a touch-sensitive screen with the forefinger. During experiments,...
A design guide for the combination of character color and background color on a Web page has not been researched specifically. Previous research only investigated a limited number of color contrast combination. However, through this research subjects are able to see a huge number of combinations.We developed the color combinations system that continuously changed hue, chroma, and brightness of the...
Projects such as new product development have the similar uncertainty about the job sequence/duration of the project. In order to complete the project by the desired date with a certain confidence, the variable times or branching probabilities should be designed appropriately. In this paper, we will propose a new planning method for the branching probabilities to realize the desired project duration...
In near future, autonomous robots will be used in factories and offices. Since there are many stationary/moving obstacles in these environments, autonomous robots are require to make the path plans that can avoid moving objects such as people and robots. In this paper, we propose the path planning method to avoid the collisions with these obstacles. The proposed method consists of two planning steps...
