The proliferation of consumer health devices such as smart watches, sleep monitors, smart scales, etc, in many countries, has not only led to growing interest in health monitoring, but also to the development of a countless number of…
People who are blind perceive the world differently than those who are sighted, which can result in distinct motion characteristics. For instance, when crossing at an intersection, blind individuals may have different patterns of movement,…
The objective assessment of gait kinematics is crucial in evaluating human movement, informing clinical decisions, and advancing rehabilitation and assistive technologies. Assessing gait symmetry, in particular, holds significant importance…
While walking meetings offer a healthy alternative to sit-down meetings, they also pose practical challenges. Taking notes is difficult while walking, which limits the potential of walking meetings. To address this, we designed the Walking…
This paper reports on a data-driven, interaction-aware motion prediction approach for pedestrians in environments cluttered with static obstacles. When navigating in such workspaces shared with humans, robots need accurate motion…
In our project we have designed an Android application to obtain mobility data of the citizens in the metropolitan area of Barcelona. Our implementation synchronously obtains in background on the one hand, periodic location updates and, on…
Gait speed is a vital health indicator for older adults, as changes in gait speed can reflect physiological and functional decline. Ambient sensors offer a promising, privacy-preserving solution for continuous in-home monitoring of gait…
Personalized longitudinal disease assessment is central to quickly diagnosing, appropriately managing, and optimally adapting the therapeutic strategy of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is also important for identifying the idiosyncratic…
Wearable sensors have permeated into people's lives, ushering impactful applications in interactive systems and activity recognition. However, practitioners face significant obstacles when dealing with sensing heterogeneities, requiring…
Mobile applications increasingly rely on sensor data to infer user context and deliver personalized experiences. Yet the mechanisms behind this personalization remain opaque to users and researchers alike. This paper presents a sandbox…
With the proliferation of imaging sensors, the volume of multi-modal imagery far exceeds the ability of human analysts to adequately consume and exploit it. Full motion video (FMV) possesses the extra challenge of containing large amounts…
Over the years, the separate fields of motion planning, mapping, and human trajectory prediction have advanced considerably. However, the literature is still sparse in providing practical frameworks that enable mobile manipulators to…
We introduce Sense{\mu} (pronounced "sense me"), a mobile application that aims at supporting awareness in parent- child relationships through the sensing capabilities of mobile devices. We discuss the relevance of three types of awareness…
Rollator walkers allow people with physical limitations to increase their mobility and give them the confidence and independence to participate in society for longer. However, rollator walker users often have poor posture, leading to…
Wearable collaborative robots stand to assist human wearers who need fall prevention assistance or wear exoskeletons. Such a robot needs to be able to constantly adapt to the surrounding scene based on egocentric vision, and predict the ego…
We develop two statistical models for space-time abundance data based on a stochastic underlying continuous individual movement. In contrast to current models for abundance in statistical ecology, our models exploit the explicit connection…
Round-the-clock monitoring of human behavior and emotions is required in many healthcare applications which is very expensive but can be automated using machine learning (ML) and sensor technologies. Unfortunately, the lack of…
Forecasting a typical object's future motion is a critical task for interpreting and interacting with dynamic environments in computer vision. Event-based sensors, which could capture changes in the scene with exceptional temporal…
As we are moving towards the Internet of Things (IoT), the number of sensors deployed around the world is growing at a rapid pace. Market research has shown a significant growth of sensor deployments over the past decade and has predicted a…
Accurate prediction of future person location and movement trajectory from an egocentric wearable camera can benefit a wide range of applications, such as assisting visually impaired people in navigation, and the development of mobility…
