Off-the-Shelf Vision Based Mobile Robot sensing

The goal of this research is to enable a mobile robot using vision sensing technology to navigate in both outdoor and indoor environments, following such as a specified path, following a specified person, and detecting doorways to enter a room. The focus is upon real-time algorithm using off-the-shelf cameras. First, a simple approach for vision-based path following for a mobile robot is presen...

Adding Tactile Reaction to Hologram

In this paper, a hologram with tactile reactions is presented. The developed system consists of three components; a holographic display, a hand tracker, and a tactile display. The tactile display, which is our original device, produces force on user’s bare hand without any contact by using radiation pressure of airborne ultrasound. It adds the sense of touch to optical images floating in mid-ai...
