The following work presents an overview of smart sensors and sensor fusion targeted at
biomedical applications and sports areas. In this work, the integration of these areas is …

This article presents a people perception software architecture and its implementation,
focused on the information of interest from the point of view of a social robot. The key …

Automated human activity recognition is an essential task for Human Robot Interaction
(HRI). A successful activity recognition system enables an assistant robot to provide precise …

We present a novel hierarchical model for human activity recognition. In contrast with
approaches that successively recognize actions and activities, our approach jointly models …

In this paper, we propose a method to automatically align multiple cameras and track
multiple people observed in the multiple camera system. The proposed inter-camera …

We propose an institutional robotics approach to the design of socially-aware multi-robot
systems, where cooperation among the robots and their social interactions with humans are …

In activity recognition, sensor based errors or uncertainties induce a wrong statement in the
environment representation. To overcome these issues we introduce our ontology-based …

Recently, many automation processes make use of knowledge related to computer vision,
exploiting digital information in the form of images or data that assists the decision-making of …

The research presented in this thesis focuses on multiple aspects of activity understanding
in the context of assistive robotics, including human activity recognition, human activity …

In this paper, we present an efficient and adaptive method for detecting and tracking multiple
persons while providing real-time capability and high robustness to outlier noise. Given an …
