Traditional joint-space models used to describe equations of motion for humanoid robots offer nice properties linked directly to the way these robots are built. However, from a computational point of view and convergence properties, these models are not the fastest when used in planning optimizations. In this letter, inspired by Cartesian coordinates used to model molecular structures, we propose...
Smartphones nowadays are customized to help users with their daily tasks such as storing important data or making transactions through the internet. With the sensitivity of the data involved, authentication mechanism such as fixed-text password, PIN, or unlock patterns are used to safeguard these data against intruders. However, these mechanisms have the risk from security threats such as cracking...
Mobile applications (apps) are mostly driven by touch gestures whose interactions are natural to human beings. However, generating gesture events for effective and efficient testing of such apps remains to be a challenge. Existing event generation techniques either feed the apps under test with random gestures or exhaustively enumerate all possible gestures. While the former strategy leads to incomplete...
Gestures and postures are a non-verbal communication because it is translated through human's physical gestures and not through oral communication. This research focuses on creating a variety of human gestures and postures that are applied into a robotic form. The objective is to apply elements of human gestures and postures to robotic form and create an industrial ceramic art ware hence produce the...
A remote control is presented that enables finger disabled people to easily control various types of devices and appliances. It uses an Android smartphone, a Bluetooth/infrared conversion unit, and user gestures. Experimental evaluation demonstrated that it is easily usable by non-disabled people, except for the electronic program guide function.
This paper describes a novel approach towards recognizing of Indian Sign Language (ISL) gestures for Humanoid Robot Interaction (HRI). An extensive approach is being introduced for classification of ISL gesture which imparts an elegant way of interaction between humanoid robot HOAP-2 and human being. ISL gestures are being considered as a communicating agent for humanoid robot which is being used...
With personal robotics and assistance to dependant people, robots are in continuous interface with humans. To enable a more natural communication, based on speech and gesture, robots must be endowed with auditive and visual perception capacities. This paper describes a modular multimodal interface based on speech and gestures in order to control an interactive robot called Jido. In this paper we describe...
