Abstract:
Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research is examining ways to make human-robot (HR) communication more natural. Incorporating natural communication techniques is expected to make HR communication seamless and more natural for humans. Humans naturally incorporate implicit levels of communication, and including implicit communication in HR communication should provide tremendous benefit. The aim for this work was to evaluate a model for human-robot implicit communication. Specifically, the primary goal for this research was to determine whether humans can assign meanings to implicit cues received

Abstract:
Human Body Communication (HBC) is a novel communication method between devices which use human body as a transmission medium. This idea is mostly based on the concept of wireless biomedical monitoring system. The on-body sensor nodes can monitor vital signs of a human body and use the body as a transmission medium. This technology is convenient for long durations of clinical monitoring with the option of more mobility and freedom for the user. In this thesis, IEEE 802.15.6-2012 physical (PHY) layer for the HBC was simulated. Simulation model is following the standard’s requirements and proces

The objective of this work is visual recognition of speech and gestures. Solving this problem opens up a host of applications, such as transcribing archival silent films, or resolving multi- talker simultaneous speech, but most importantly it helps to advance the state of the art in speech recognition by enabling machines to take advantage of the multi-modal nature of human communications. However, visual recognition of speech and gestures is a challenging problem, in part due to the lack of annotations and datasets, but also due to the inter- and intra-personal variations, and in the case of
