In this paper, we proposed a vision control system for a service robot which can provide navigation and assistance for daily activities. Compared with other sensors, vision sensor is cheap and practical, and can also perceive most of the information in the surrounding environment. Considering the variability of indoor objects, we choose an upward camera as the only sensor to extract objects and straight...
Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems can translate the human mind into control commands, which makes it feasible to improve the life quality of physically challenged people. However, in real-life situations, it is still difficult for users to utilize robots to provide basic services with BCI systems. We aimed to propose a BCI-based system with a visual servo module to operate a service robot. We...
Environment perception is a key technology for robot control and moving. Image information has the advantage of low-cost to perceive the indoor environment. Stitching multiple images is helpful to realize the full range of global view of indoor environment. Our research devotes to showing a large field of view by dynamic image stitching when there is a moving object in the environment. The images...
The health care is in increasingly high demand with the aging population. In this paper, we present a novel health care platform for elderly people and patients who need to be taken care. The platform consists of a walk-aid unit, medical apparatus for health monitoring, data storage unit and remote monitoring unit. The medical devices are used for the elderly or patients who are undergoing a rehabilitative...
In this paper, we proposed a hierarchical multiple intelligences architecture consisting of three intelligences: biology intelligence, space intelligence and robot intelligence. This new intelligence architecture aims to address defects of existing intelligence architecture for controlling mobile robots. The performers of the three intelligences are human, intelligent space and robot, respectively...
This paper proposes verification for the feasibility of human-robot coexistence and interaction simulation in SIGVerse environment. SIGVerse is a human-robot interaction environment, which can be also applied for virtual reality. It solves the problem for lacking of human-robot interaction in simulation software previously. In this paper, a robot following human task in the domestic indoor environment...
Recently, issues of power consumption at base stations (BSs) in wireless cellular networks have attracted great interest in both research communities and the industry. In this paper, we investigate the BS power consumption in multiple-input single-output (MISO) Poisson-Voronoi tessellation (PVT) random cellular networks. Taking into account the inter-cell interference, the impact of the traffic demands...
