We propose an online iterative path optimisation method to enable a Baxter humanoid robot to assist human users to dress. The robot searches for the optimal personalised dressing path using vision and force sensor information: vision information is used to recognise the human pose and model the movement space of upper-body joints; force sensor information is used for the robot to detect external force...
Li0.63Zn0.37Fe2O4−xCaTiO3 (x=0wt%, 4wt%, 8wt%, 12wt%, 16wt%) composites were prepared by the solid state reaction method and sintered at 920 °C with slight Bi2O3 additive. The phase formations, structure, magnetic and dielectric properties of composites were investigated. The results revealed that the composites contained two phase formations, with no other phases. Scanning electron microscope and...
Assistive robots can improve the well-being of disabled or frail human users by reducing the burden that activities of daily living impose on them. To enable personalised assistance, such robots benefit from building a user-specific model, so that the assistance is customised to the particular set of user abilities. In this paper, we present an end-to-end approach for home-environment assistive humanoid...
A novel optimization algorithm, Group Area Search (GAS), is proposed, which is inspired by searching behavior patterns of human beings and social animals. In GAS, the search area of each individual is automatically adjusted and gradually shrunk to the most promising region. A cruising-following mechanism is introduced to GAS, which allows individuals with low fitness chances to follow the historical...
