Fast gesture recognition based on a two-level representation.
(Elsevier, 2009-10-01)Towards developing an interface for human–robot interaction, this paper proposes a two-level approach to recognise gestures which are composed of trajectories followed by different body parts. In a first level, individual ... -
Real-time object tracking using bounded irregular pyramids.
(Elsevier, 2007)Target representation and localization is a central component in visual object tracking. In this paper a new approach for target representation and localization is presented. This approach tackles two of the most important ... -
Pyramid segmentation algorithms revisited.
(Elsevier, 2006-08)The main goal of this work is to compare pyramidal structures proposed to solve segmentation tasks. Segmentation algorithms based on regular and irregular pyramids are described, together with the data structures and ... -
Combining boundary and region features inside the combinatorial pyramid for topology-preserving perceptual image segmentation
(Elsevier, 2012)Combinatorial pyramids represent the image as a stack of successively reduced combi- natorial maps, which encode the whole image at different levels of abstraction. Within this framework, this paper proposes to conduct ... -
Hierarchical segmentation of range images inside the combinatorial pyramid
(Elsevier, 2015)RGB-D cameras are not only able to provide color (Red-Green-Blue -RGB-) informa- tion from the scene but also a relatively accurate cloud of 3D points. Using information coming from this organized cloud, it is possible ... -
Extending the evaluation of social assistive robots with accessibility indicators. The AUSUS evaluation framework
(IEEE, 2021)The introduction of robots in the real world requires previous evaluation of the envisaged performance. Factors like usability, user experience, social acceptance or societal impact among others have been taken into ... -
QoS metrics-in-the-loop for endowing runtime self-adaptation to robotic software architectures
(Springer, 2022-01-13)The design of a robot that is capable of operating autonomously in a changing and unstructured scenario is based on complex software architec- tures, in which perceptual and actuation components, as well as deliberative ones, ... -
Perceptions or Actions? Grounding How Agents Interact Within a Software Architecture for Cognitive Robotics.
(Springer, 2019-11-09)One of the aims of cognitive robotics is to endow robots with the ability to plan solutions for complex goals and then to enact those plans. Additionally, robots should react properly upon encountering unexpected changes ... -
Combining segmentation and attention: a new foveal attention model.
(Frontiers, 2014-08-14)Artificial vision systems cannot process all the information that they receive from the world in real time because it is highly expensive and inefficient in terms of computational cost. Inspired by biological perception ... -
A Novel Biologically Inspired Attention Mechanism for a Social Robot.
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010-11-30)In biological vision systems, the attention mechanism is responsible for selecting the relevant information from the sensed field of view. In robotics, this ability is specially useful because of the restrictions in ... -
Measuring Quality of Service in a Robotized Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment Scenario.
(MDPI, 2020-09-22)Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is an integrated clinical process to evaluate frail elderly people in order to create therapy plans that improve their quality and quantity of life. The whole process includes the ... -
Bounded Irregular Pyramid: a new structure for color image segmentation.
(Elsevier, 2003-10-13)This paper presents a new segmentation technique for color images. It relies on building an irregular pyramid into a regular one, presenting only nodes associated to homogeneous color regions. Hence, the size of the irregular ... -
A new concept of a transparent photocapacitor
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)A solid-state transparent photocapacitor has been prepared for the first time by the use of two transparent electrodes (TiO2 and LiFeO2) and also a transparent ion gel-based electrolyte between them, reaching a transmittance ... -
An User-Centered Evaluation of Two Socially Assistive Robots Integrated in a Retirement Home
(Springer, 2024)Socially assistive robots are receiving a growing interest in the health and social care sectors. They are considered a promising technology to add value to the work of caregivers, and relieve them of simple and repetitive ... -
The CORTEX Cognitive Robotics Architecture: use cases
(Elsevier, 2019-01-19)CORTEX is a cognitive robotics architecture inspired by three key ideas: modularity, internal modelling and graph representations. CORTEX is also a computational framework designed to support early forms of intelligence ... -
Case-based reasoning emulation of persons for wheelchair navigation.
(Elsevier, 2012)Our approach is based on extracting meaningful data from real users driving a power wheelchair autonomously. This data is then used to train a case-based reasoning (CBR) system that captures the specifics of the driver via ... -
Audio-Visual Perception System for a Humanoid Robotic Head.
(MDPI, 2014-05-28)One of the main issues within the field of social robotics is to endow robots with the ability to direct attention to people with whom they are interacting. Different approaches follow bio-inspired mechanisms, merging audio ... -
On the construction of a skill-based wheelchair navigation profile.
(IEEE, 2013)Assisted wheelchair navigation is of key importance for persons with severe disabilities. The problem has been solved in different ways, usually based on the shared control paradigm. This paradigm consists of giving the ... -
Wheelchair collaborative control for disabled users navigating indoors.
(Elsevier, 2011)Objective: Mobility is of key importance for autonomous living. Persons with severe disabilities may be assisted by robotic wheelchairs when manual control is not possible. However, these persons should contribute to control ... -
Smart care home system: a platform for eAssistance
(Springer, 2019)In response to the increasing need of assistance services for people with disabilities and elderly, eAssistance focuses on the development of tools to increase their autonomy and self-sufficiency. In this paper, we present ...
