Reaching and pointing gestures calculated by a generic gesture system for social robots Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Greet Van de Perre, Albert De Beir, Pablo Gomez Esteban, Bram Vanderborght
Since the implementation of gestures for a certain robot generally involves the use of specific information about its morphology, these gestures are not easily transferable to other robots. To cope with this problem, we proposed a generic method to generate gestures, constructed independently of any configuration and therefore useable for different robots. In this paper, we discuss the novel end-effector mode of the method, which can be used to ...

GestureVLAD: Combining Unsupervised Features Representation and Spatio-Temporal Aggregation for Doppler-Radar Gesture Recognition Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Meshia Cédric Oveneke, Habib Khalid, Mitchel Alioscha-Perez, André Bourdoux
In this paper we propose a novel framework to process Doppler-radar signals for hand gesture recognition. Doppler-radar sensors provide many advantages over other emerging sensing modalities, including low development costs and high sensitivity to capture subtle gestures with precision. Furthermore, they have attractive properties for ubiquitous deployment and can be conveniently embedded into different devices. In this scope, current ...

Generic method for generating blended gestures and affective functional behaviors for social robots Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Greet Van de Perre, Albert De Beir, Pablo Gomez Esteban, Bram Vanderborght

Gesturing is an important modality in human–robot interaction. Up to date, gestures are often implemented for a specific robot configuration and therefore not easily transferable to other robots. To cope with this issue, we presented a generic method to calculate gestures for social robots. The method was designed to work in two modes to allow the calculation of different types of gestures. In this paper, we present the new developments of ...

Engineering gestures for multimodal user interfaces Hasselt University Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Florian Echtler, Dietrich Kammer, Davy VANACKEN, Lode Hoste, Beat Signer
Despite increased presence of gestural and multimodal user interfaces in research as well as daily life, development of such systems still mostly relies on programming concepts which have emerged from classic WIMP user interfaces. This workshop proposes to explore the gap between attempts to formalize and structure development for multimodal interfaces in the research community on the one hand and the lack of adoption of these formal languages ...

A new bedside test of gestures in stroke: The apraxia screen of TULIA (AST) KU Leuven

Ann Van de Winckel
Apraxia in stroke patients may be overlooked in busy hospital settings as dexterous difficulties and impaired gestural communication are often attributed to the frequently coexisting sensorimotor deficits and aphasia. Early and valid detection of apraxia by a bedside test may be relevant for functional outcome in stroke patients. The present study aimed to develop in 2 phases a new screening test for apraxia, called the Apraxia Screen of TULIA ...
