An Active Vision System for a Social Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motivation: Much of human social behavior is influenced by the directional, foveated nature of our visual perception. We have developed characteristic eye and head movements to serve the functional requirements of acquiring information through vision, and we intuitively “read” those movements in others. A humanoid robot whose vision system follows the human organization can enter into this implicit protocol. This introduces an extra dimension to the control problem, where we must design for the social significance that people will assign to the robot’s behavior – such as making and breaking eye contact during conversational turn-taking.

Effective Mechatronic Models and Methods for Implementation an Autonomous Soccer Robot
Omni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. However, Omni directional navigation system, Omni-vision system and solenoid kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. This situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensi...
متن کاملRobot Motion Vision Part II: Implementation
The idea of Fixation introduced a direct method for general recovery of shape and motion from images without using either feature correspondence or optical flow [1,2]. There are some parameters which have important effects on the performance of fixation method. However, the theory of fixation does not say anything about the autonomous and correct choice of those parameters. This paper presents ...
متن کاملRobot Motion Vision Pait I: Theory
A direct method called fixation is introduced for solving the general motion vision problem, arbitrary motion relative to an arbitrary environment. This method results in a linear constraint equation which explicitly expresses the rotational velocity in terms of the translational velocity. The combination of this constraint equation with the Brightness-Change Constraint Equation solves the gene...
متن کاملAn Intelligent Vision System on a Mobile Manipulator
This article will introduce a robust vision system which was implemented on a mobile manipulator. This robot has to find objects and deliver them to pre specified locations. In the first stage, a method which is named color adjacency method was employed. However, this method needs a large amount of memory and the process is very slow on computers with small memories. Therefore since the previou...

In this paper, the uncertain dynamic parameters of an experimental target tracker robot are identified through the application of genetic algorithm. The considered serial robot is a two-degree-of-freedom dynamic system with two revolute joints in which damping coefficients and inertia terms are uncertain. First, dynamic equations governing the robot system are extracted and then, simulated nume...
متن کاملAn Active Vision System with Facial Expression
In recent decades, active vision systems have been studied widely because they can control the gaze direction of their mounted vision sensors and overcome many shortcomings of passive vision systems which have fixed vision sensors. Due to an increasing interest in humanoid robots and social robots, many researchers in the active vision area are focusing their research on developing active visio...
