Visual-Inertial Odometry(VIO), which is critical to mobile robot navigation, uses cameras with a large number of pixels. Capturing and processing camera images requires significant resources. This work presents a minimalist approach to…
Future smart ocean applications require long distance and reliable communications to connect underwater sensors/robots with remote surface base stations. It is challenging to achieve such goal due to the harsh and dynamic underwater…
The proposed model aims to develop a speech recognition technology for hearing, speech, or cognitively disabled people. All the available technology in the field of speech recognition doesn't come with an interface for communication for…
An estimated 253 million people have visual impairments. These visual impairments affect everyday lives, and limit their understanding of the outside world. This can pose a risk to health from falling or collisions. We propose a solution to…
Robotics has shown significant potential in assisting people with disabilities to enhance their independence and involvement in daily activities. Indeed, a societal long-term impact is expected in home-care assistance with the deployment of…
Gaze tracking devices have the potential to greatly expand interactivity, yet miscalibration remains a significant barrier to use. As devices miscalibrate, people tend to compensate by intentionally offsetting their gaze, which makes…
We introduce a novel auditory brain-computer interface (BCI) paradigm, Auditory Intention Decoding (AID), designed to enhance communication capabilities within the brain-AI interface (BAI) system EEGChat. AID enables users to select among…
The lack of an accessible and effective system for blind individuals to create handwritten signatures presents a significant barrier to their independence and full participation in various aspects of life. This research introduces the…
Binaural audio gives the listener an immersive experience and can enhance augmented and virtual reality. However, recording binaural audio requires specialized setup with a dummy human head having microphones in left and right ears. Such a…
Visual feedback plays a crucial role in the process of amputation patients completing grasping in the field of prosthesis control. However, for blind and visually impaired (BVI) amputees, the loss of both visual and grasping abilities makes…
Deformable object manipulation requires computationally efficient representations that are compatible with robotic sensing modalities. In this paper, we present VIRDO:an implicit, multi-modal, and continuous representation for…
Passive beamforming for the intelligent surface (IS)-aided multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication is a difficult nonconvex problem. It becomes even more challenging under the practical discrete constraints on phase shifts.…
According to the World Federation of the Deaf, more than two hundred sign languages exist. Therefore, it is challenging to understand deaf individuals, even proficient sign language users, resulting in a barrier between the deaf community…
In the modern world of technology Internet-of-things (IoT) systems strives to provide an extensive interconnected and automated solutions for almost every life aspect. This paper proposes an IoT context-aware system to present an Ambient…
We present a system that raises awareness about users' inner state. Di\v{s}imo is a multimodal ambient display that provides feedback about one's stress level, which is assessed through heart rate monitoring. Upon detecting a low heart rate…
Several studies report that people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have low employment rates and major difficulties in maintaining occupation (Hendricks, 2010). Adopting smart and interactive technology, promoted by Industry…
One of the main challenges of gaze-based interactions is the ability to distinguish normal eye function from a deliberate interaction with the computer system, commonly referred to as 'Midas touch'. In this paper we propose, EyeTAP (Eye…
The objective of this paper is to develop and evaluate a directional vibrotactile feedback interface as a guidance tool for postural adjustments during work. In contrast to the existing active and wearable systems such as exoskeletons, we…
People with visual impairments often face significant challenges in locating and retrieving objects in their surroundings. Existing assistive technologies present a trade-off: systems that offer precise guidance typically require…
For visually impaired people, it is highly difficult to make independent movement and safely move in both indoors and outdoors environment. Furthermore, these physically and visually challenges prevent them from in day-today live…
