Robust real-time vision for a personal service robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address visual perception for personal service robotic systems in the home. We start by identifying the main functional modules and their relationships. This includes self-localization, long range people detection and tracking, and short range human interaction. We then discuss various vision based tasks within each of these modules, along with our implementations of these tasks. Typical results are shown. Finally, STEVI v.1, a demonstration computer vision subsystem that performs real-time people detection and tracking from stereo color video, illustrates our modular and scalable approach to integrating modules into working systems. 2007 Elsevier Inc.

Robot 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 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...
متن کاملDiscrete time robust control of robot manipulators in the task space using adaptive fuzzy estimator
This paper presents a discrete-time robust control for electrically driven robot manipulators in the task space. A novel discrete-time model-free control law is proposed by employing an adaptive fuzzy estimator for the compensation of the uncertainty including model uncertainty, external disturbances and discretization error. Parameters of the fuzzy estimator are adapted to minimize the estimat...
متن کاملVision-based short range interaction between a personal service robot and a user
Interaction between a personal service robot and a human user is contingent on being aware of the posture and facial expression of users in the home environment. In this work, we propose algorithms to robustly and efficiently track the head, facial gestures, and the upper body movements of a user. The face processing module consists of 3D head pose estimation, modeling nonrigid facial deformati...
