چکیده

People detection and tracking are important in many situations where robots and humans work and live together. But unlike targets in traditional tracking problems, people typically move and act under the constraints of their environment. The probabilities and frequencies for when people appear, disappear, walk or stand are not uniform but vary over space making human behavior strongly place-dependent. In this paper we present a model that encodes spatial priors on human behavior and show how the model can be incorporated into a people-tracking system. We learn a non-homogeneous spatial Poisson process that improves data association in a multi-hypothesis target tracker through more informed probability distributions over hypotheses. We further present a place-dependent motion model whose predictions follow the spaceusage patterns that people take and which are described by the learned spatial Poisson process. Large-scale experiments in different indoor and outdoor environments using laser range data, demonstrate how both extensions lead to more accurate tracking behavior in terms of data-association errors and number of track losses. The extended tracker is also slightly more efficient than the baseline approach. The system runs in real-time on a typical desktop computer.

Dual Space Control of a Deployable Cable Driven Robot: Wave Based Approach

Known for their lower costs and numerous applications, cable robots are an attractive research field in robotic community. However, considering the fact that they require an accurate installation procedure and calibration routine, they have not yet found their true place in real-world applications. This paper aims to propose a new controller strategy that requires no meticulous calibration and ...

Kinematic and Gait Analysis Implementation of an Experimental Radially Symmetric Six-Legged Walking Robot

As a robot could be stable statically standing on three or more legs, a six legged walking robot can be highly flexible in movements and perform different missions without dealing with serious kinematic and dynamic problems. An experimental six legged walking robot with 18 degrees of freedom is studied and built in this paper. The kinematic and gait analysis formulations are demonstrated by an e...

3D Scene and Object Classification Based on Information Complexity of Depth Data

In this paper the problem of 3D scene and object classification from depth data is addressed. In contrast to high-dimensional feature-based representation, the depth data is described in a low dimensional space. In order to remedy the curse of dimensionality problem, the depth data is described by a sparse model over a learned dictionary. Exploiting the algorithmic information theory, a new def...
