assistive technology

 

This video was recently presented by Roberto Baptista in ICRA 2013 in a workshop on Computational Techniques in Natural Motion Analysis and Reconstruction. The video demonstrates a simple methodology to facilitate learning of specialized movements using Kinect to provide real-time feedback.

 

 

This video by Carlos Gonçalves demonstrates the operation of a virtual keyboard using a regular webcam and readings of the user's head movement. The idea is to design an input system for people with impairments that cannot use conventional mouse or keyboard. Following developments include more robust techniques to detect command gestures.

 

Campus Party Brasil 2012 was a great event devoted to technology and internet with more than 7000 enthusiasts camping in Anhembi. I had the opportunity to give a talk about human-centered robotics. Below are the slides presented on the occasion.

The slides, that may take some time to load, contain several videos from other authors (credits are given within the presentation). The clips are available on the internet, but please contact me if you do not want to see your video in the presentation.

 

Our work on human-robot interaction presented on IROS 2011 was depicted in the online version of IEEE Spectrum and in the Brazilian newspaper Estado de São Paulo. It was a collaborative work between Bruno V. Adorno, Philippe Fraisse, and myself. Below you may access both articles.
