TLDR
An application of eye tracking method to wheelchairs using the coherence algorithm, which tracks the movement of eye towards left or right, and the eye blinking feature is also used by the algorithm to control the starting and stopping of wheelchair.Abstract:
This paper proposes a new algorithm, the coherence algorithm, for eye movement tracking. Researchers continue to restore some functions lost by handicapped people using some powered electrical and robotic wheelchairs. This paper presents an application of eye tracking method to such wheelchairs. The coherence algorithm tracks the movement of eye towards left or right. The eye blinking feature is also used by the algorithm to control the starting and stopping of wheelchair.read more

Implicit Intention Communication in Human–Robot Interaction Through Visual Behavior Studies
Songpo Li,Xiaoli Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: The relationship of visual behaviors with the mental process during human intention expression was studied for the first time to build a fundamental understanding of this process and is expected to guide further design of accurate intention inference algorithms and intuitive HRI.
