Future of food innovation lies in the art and science of designing an interactive connected intelligent device that can detect how we feel and display the content suitable for individual consumers. We designed a smart dining table and chairs that can detect, sense, and analyze consumer's satisfaction, and interact with consumers. A team of furniture designer, software engineers, mechanical engineer,...
The most important task for maze solving robots is the fast and reliable finding of its shortest path from its initial point to its final destination point. This paper proposes an intelligent maze solving robot that can determine its shortest path on a line maze based on image processing and artificial intelligence algorithms. The image of the line maze is captured by a camera and sent to the computer...
In recent years, mobile cyber physical systems have found applicability in multiple areas such as mobile intelligent robots and robotics systems, intelligent transportation systems, environmental monitoring systems, healthcare systems and so on. Remote control of mobile objects is a very promising field which allows to improve the convenience and safety of human society life. According to the fact...
A general approach is proposed to determine the occupancy in a room using sensor data and knowledge coming respectively from observation and questioning are determined. Means to estimate occupancy include motion detections, power consumptions and acoustic pressure rewarded by a microphone. The proposed approach is inspired from machine learning. It starts by determining the most useful measurements...
Humankind encounters with unprecedented number and scales of disasters which stem from natural and human-made causes. So many victims have suffered severely in those catastrophes that compelled generation and development of search and rescue technology to help victims in future. One of the most important application areas within this scope is the search and rescue robots. The robots equipped with...
Human motion tracking, which requires both motion sensing hardware and algorithms based on computer vision, is an enjoyable and active research area with diverse applications. As a depth sensor device Kinect is a famous hardware component for this task. In this work, we studied using more than one Kinect camera to obtain better motion tracking which is applicable for motion capture. We synthetically...
The consumer automotive market is going through rapid changes. To preserve the competitiveness each new generation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) heavily adds to a complexity of the hardware platform. Analysis of the latest ADAS systems, their existing and missing requirements, is a foundation for the development of the Alpha board, the hardware platform for ADAS applications. In this...
In this paper we propose a neural network allowing a mobile robot to learn artwork appreciation. The learning is based on the social referencing approach. The robot acquires its knowledge (artificial taste) from the interaction with humans. We present and analyze specifically the visual system, its impact on the robot behavior, and at the end, we analyze the readability of our robot behavior according...
This paper puts forward a Human-Machine Interaction robot which can play chess games with human. Based on the existing Computer Games and Robot technology, the robot can accomplish more functions. The robot can recognize the human players' wrong, and send a signal to remind human players. Windows environment could run Artificial Intelligence software base on C language and LabVIEW. And the software...
Recently, smart robots and smart systems have acquired extensive research. Combination of control engineering along with automation engineering and artificial intelligence has given birth to the next generation robotic systems and modern control engineering. Intelligent agent which is considered as the basic building block is discussed in this paper then based on the theory of artificial intelligence,...
This paper presents a preliminary experimental result on a large-scale experiment on a cyber-physical hybrid discussion support environment in a panel discussion session in an international conference. Our research group has been studying supporting technologies for online large-scale discussions. Online large-scale discussion has been focused as a new methodology that enable people to discuss, argue,...
This paper addresses the use of heterogeneous sensors for target detection and recognition in maritime environment. An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle payload was assembled using hyperspectral, infrared, electro-optical, AIS and INS information to collect synchronized sensor data with vessel ground-truth position for conducting air and sea trials. The data collected is used to develop automated robust methods...
Image Processing is fundamental for any camerabased vision system. In order to automate the prototyping process of image processing solutions to some extend, we propose a holistic, adaptive approach that comprises concepts for specification, composition, recommendation, execution, and rating of image processing functionality. The fundamental idea is to realize image processing applications according...
In this article authors briefly describe the concept and an exemplary implementation of a scalable vision understanding system. In the practical implementation a popular humanoid robot NAO is being used. The robot's video processing algorithm is capable of connecting to a remote computational resource (server or cluster) for running more sophisticated image understanding algorithms. The novelty of...
This paper proposes an intelligence surveillance system in indoor environments, which support the functions of people detection, people tracking, and behavior analysis. Strong variation of lightness by switching lights and frequent crossing of people are two major design challenges of the proposed system, which will decrease the detection accuracy. Therefore, we propose a mechanism of updating background...
Currently artificial intelligence combined with computer vision has helped in performing daily activities, the current tendency of semi-autonomous vehicles assisted by artificial intelligence and computer vision has created a new field of image processing research. The image processing to support autonomous route tracking systems they have been tested in controlled media. In this investigation we...
Seventh Sense Technology is a technology used for the human electronic interaction using natural hand gestures. The hand gestures can be used to control any micro controller based devices or robots at distant places using Zigbee or GSM Module or Satellite transceiver. The "Seventh Sense Technology" is easy to implement with reduced implementation cost and it opens a wide area of research...
This security system provides a cost-efficient alternative solution to intelligent security systems by using a standard webcam, personal computer, and a PIC microcontroller. This system uses a program developed in NI-LabVIEW which uses image processing. The said program only records the camera input once motion is detected, which reduces the duration of the video footage, disk space needed, as well...
Many homes are still not considered environmentally friendly. In addition, home safety and comfort is still an issue today. Because of that, energy efficient, safe and comfortable home that can act intelligently in order to solve the problems and meet the needs of its users need to be created. That is to create a single unified management system in a home. In this thesis, intelligent home management...
Public speaking is a non-trivial task since it is affected by how nonverbal behaviors are expressed. Practicing to deliver the appropriate expressions is difficult while they are mostly given subconsciously. This paper presents our empirical study on the nonverbal behaviors of presenters. Such information was used as the ground truth to develop an intelligent tutoring system. The system can capture...
