Loss of Mobility is a common handicap to senior citizens. It denies them the ease of movement they would like to have like outdoor visits, movement in hospitals, social outgoings, but more seriously in the day to day in-house routine…

Wearable robotic devices have potential to assist and protect their users. Toward design of a Smart Helmet, this article examines the effectiveness of audio and visual warnings to help participants brace for impacts. A user study examines…

Abnormal gait, its associated falls and complications have high patient morbidity, mortality. Computer vision detects, predicts patient gait abnormalities, assesses fall risk and serves as clinical decision support tool for physicians. This…

The visual sensing system is one of the most important parts of the welding robots to realize intelligent and autonomous welding. The active visual sensing methods have been widely adopted in robotic welding because of their higher…

Camera parameters not only play an important role in determining the visual quality of perceived images, but also affect the performance of vision algorithms, for a vision-guided robot. By quantitatively evaluating four object detection…

Motorcycles face disproportionately high crash risks compared to cars due to limited protection and heightened sensitivity to surface hazards, yet Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS) remain underdeveloped relative to Advanced Driver…

This paper presents a standing support mobility robot "Moby" developed to enhance independence and safety for elderly individuals during daily activities such as toilet transfers. Unlike conventional seated mobility aids, the robot…

With an increasing number of elders living alone, care-giving from a distance becomes a compelling need, particularly for safety. Real-time monitoring and action recognition are essential to raise an alert timely when abnormal behaviors or…

Mobile robotic systems are increasingly used in various work environments to support productivity. However, deploying robots in workplaces crowded by human workers and interacting with them results in safety challenges and concerns, namely…

Detecting and preventing falls in humans is a critical component of assistive robotic systems. While significant progress has been made in detecting falls, the prediction of falls before they happen, and analysis of the transient state…

Fall detection and classification become an imper- ative problem for healthcare applications particularity with the increasingly ageing population. Currently, most of the fall clas- sification algorithms provide binary fall or no-fall…

Robots, along with sensors and telemedicine, have been identified as technologies that can assist and prolong independent living for older people, with robots especially being used to help prevent social isolation and depression.

Our transportation world is rapidly transforming induced by an ever increasing level of autonomy. However, to obtain license of fully automated vehicles for widespread public use, it is necessary to assure safety of the entire system, which…

Robots operating in populated environments encounter many different types of people, some of whom might have an advanced need for cautious interaction, because of physical impairments or their advanced age. Robots therefore need to…

Wastage of water is a critical issue amongst the various global crises. This paper proposes an architecture model for a low-cost, energy efficient SMART Shower system that is ideal for efficient water management and be able to predict…

Recent advancements in optimal control and reinforcement learning have enabled quadrupedal robots to perform various agile locomotion tasks over diverse terrains. During these agile motions, ensuring the stability and resiliency of the…

To have a robot actively supporting a human during a collaborative task, it is crucial that robots are able to identify the current action in order to predict the next one. Common approaches make use of high-level knowledge, such as object…

If a robot is supposed to roam an environment and interact with objects, it is often necessary to know all possible objects in advance, so that a database with models of all objects can be generated for visual identification. However, this…

The recognition of actions performed by humans and the anticipation of their intentions are important enablers to yield sociable and successful collaboration in human-robot teams. Meanwhile, robots should have the capacity to deal with…

This paper presents an experimental evaluation on the accuracy of indoor localisation. The research was carried out as part of a European Union project targeting the creation of ICT solutions for older adult care. Current expectation is…
