Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStroke Motion Learning for a Humanoid Robotic Ping-Pong Player Using a Novel Motion Capture SystemC. H. Lai, T.I. James TsayProblem statement: Human ping-pong players determine the stroke trajectory according to their experience before the ball enters their court. However, to enable a humanoid robot to select the appropriate stroke motion based on skills learned from 3D motion, important patterns must be generated to simplify the complex 3D motion. Approach: This study developed an effective strategy for teaching ping-pong skills … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMulti-View RGB-D Video Analysis and Fusion for 360 Degrees Unified Motion ReconstructionNaveed AhmedWe present a new method for capturing human motion over 360 degrees by the fusion of multi-view RGB-D video data from Kinect sensors. Our method is able to reconstruct the unified human motion from fused RGB-D and skeletal data over 360 degrees and create a unified skeletal animation. We make use of all three streams: RGB, depth and skeleton, along … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 23 Dec 2017 · 7,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Synergy Based Analysis to Control of Rehabilitation Robot for Adaptive AssistanceGyanendra Nath TripathiAdaptive assistance is needed to support mobility of disabled person due to weakened muscles and loss of joint control. Assistive robot requires coordinated motion trajectory of its joint, similar to human joint trajectory. A robot trajectory planning mechanism, based on comparative analysis between robot trajectory and human joint trajectory data is important to find coordinated trajectory for assistive robot joint. … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 8 Oct 2025 · 3,052 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Elements at MP3RRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.Mechatronic robotic systems are today widely used worldwide to ease human work, but especially where work is dangerous, in toxic, radioactive, chemical, explosive atmospheres, without air such as underwater or in the cosmos, or in places hard to reach the man. Robots can take the tedious repetitive work under any circumstances and they can perform a difficult operation for a … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 23 Nov 2017 · 7,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTRACKING THE POSITION OF MULTIPLE HUMAN GESTURES USING CONTOUR MAPPING ALGORITHMT. S. Arulananth, T. Jayasingh, S. RaviThis study relates to a method for determining the position variation (for example a moving object, facial gesture tracking) using markers. The movement is determined based on the periodic frames captured using a camera. The experimental results show that this algorithm can accurately segment human movements from complex background and can greatly reduce the computational workload with less storage memory, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 22 May 2014 · 6,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShot Detection Using Genetic Edge Histogram and Object Based Video Retrieval Using Multiple FeaturesR. Kanagavalli, K. DuraiswamyAs the usage of multimedia data increasing rapidly, how to get the video data we need efficiently become so important. Recent advances in multimedia technologies allow the capture and storage of video data with relatively inexpensive computers. Problem Statement: However, without appropriate search techniques all these data are hardly usable. Users want to query the content instead of the raw … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 3 Aug 2012 · 6,853 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObject Identity, Apparent Motion, Transformation GeometryFelice L. Bedford, Birgitta E. ManssonProblem statement: A classic question in cognition was addressed on how two glimpses separated in time are determined to refer either to the same object or to two different objects, without which coherent perception of the world is not possible. Approach: A general solution was offered in which observers exploit an entire family of geometries. It was argued that a … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,618 accessesView PDFCite
