This paper describes the outcome of a pilot study of deploying humanoid social robots as a teaching aid in preschool classroom. Sixteen K2 students each from two pre-schools were recruited to test commercially available robots, Pepper and Nao. The robots were assigned to different schools and were programmed to deliver 6 lessons over a span of 3 months. To assess the deployment and the performance...
The paper describes a Yoga training system that is built based on motion replication technique (MoRep), including hardware, virtual scenario and feedback design. The motion replication technique proposed here can determine the similarity between Yoga master and student's postures and then provide feedback on the incorrect body posture of the student through multimodal channels. The key innovations...
In this paper, a comprehensive online error compensation approach using offline calibration results is proposed for industrial manipulators (with closed control architecture), in order to improve its accuracy. The contents in this paper include a calibration algorithm based on the product-of-exponential formula, an online error compensation procedure for implementing the calibration results on industrial...
Monitoring and guiding real time body motion permits corrective measures to be implemented for more effective rehabilitation results. Taking the rehabilitation practice at home can help stroke patients with movement disability to regain the motor skill. Existing systems for rehabilitation is either too costly, or complicated and bulky to be efficiently employed for personal use at home. In this current...
This paper presents the design and validation of a wearable glove-based multi-finger motion capture device (SmartGlove) with a specific focus on the development of a new optical linear encoder (OLE). The OLE specially designed for this project has a compact size, light weight and low power consumption. The characterization tests also show that the OLE's digital output has good linearity and accuracy...
