Generalized geometric triangulation algorithm for mobile robot absolute self-localization
TL;DR: An improved version of the geometric triangulation algorithm, which does not require beacon ordering and works over the whole navigation plane except for a few well-determined lines where localization is not possible.
An improved version of the Generalized geometric triangulation algorithm
TL;DR: Simulations results suggest that a robot is able to localize itself, with small position and orientation errors, over a wide region of the plane, if measurement uncertainty is small enough.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skeleton Driven Action Recognition Using an Image-Based Spatial-Temporal Representation and Convolution Neural Network.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to automatically detect in real-time typical and stereotypical actions of children with ASD by using the Intel RealSense and the Nuitrack SDK to detect and extract the user joint coordinates.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Mirroring and recognizing emotions through facial expressions for a RoboKind platform
TL;DR: A system that uses the recent Intel RealSense 3D sensor to promote imitation and recognition of facial expressions, using a RoboKind Zeno R50 robot (ZECA) as a mediator in social activities.
Book ChapterDOI
