How can I help you? Comparing engagement classification strategies for a robot bartender (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Foster, M. E., Gaschler, A., & Giuliani, M. (2013, December). How can I help you? Comparing engagement classification strategies for a robot bartender. Paper presented at 15th International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces (ICMI 2013), Sydney, Australia

A robot agent existing in the physical world must be able to understand the social states of the human users it interacts with in order to respond appropriately. We compared two implemented methods for estimating the engagement state of customers for... Read More about How can I help you? Comparing engagement classification strategies for a robot bartender.

Improvement of spin flight test quality by evaluation of measured data (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Schrader, S., Hoffmann, J., Toomer, C., Luo, T., Kuenzer, J., & Cheng, P. (2013, November). Improvement of spin flight test quality by evaluation of measured data. Paper presented at Quality Control, Moscow, Russia

The aim is to equip an aeroplane with different sensor systems to acquire data from spin flight tests. One sensor system contains an acceleration sensor and electronic gyroscopes to determine the attitude and position and another sensor system contai...

Sliding mode hybrid impedance control of robot manipulators interacting with unknown environments using VSMRC method (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Jafari, A., Ryu, J., Rezaei, M., Monfaredi, R., Talebi, A., & Shiry Ghidary, S. (2013, October). Sliding mode hybrid impedance control of robot manipulators interacting with unknown environments using VSMRC method. Paper presented at The 44th IEEE International Symposium on Robotics (ISR 2013), Seoul, Korea

In the present paper, the objective of hybrid impedance control is specified and a robust hybrid impedance control approach is proposed. Based on the concept of hybrid control, the task space is decomposed into position and force controlled subspaces...

Using nasal curves matching for expression robust 3D nose recognition (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Emambakhsh, M., Evans, A., & Smith, M. (2013, September). Using nasal curves matching for expression robust 3D nose recognition. Paper presented at IEEE Conference on Biometrics: Theory, Applications and Systems (BTAS2013), Washington DC, USA

The development of 3D face recognition algorithms that are robust to variations in expression has been a challenge for researchers over the past decade. One approach to this problem is to utilize the most stable parts on the face surface. The nasa... Read More about Using nasal curves matching for expression robust 3D nose recognition.

The initial robustness analysis of designed U-pole placement control systems (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Peng, Y., Liu, X., Zhu, Q., Xu, F., & Zhao, D. (2013, August). The initial robustness analysis of designed U-pole placement control systems. Paper presented at 2013 International Conference of Modelling, Identification & Control (ICMIC), Cairo, Egypt

In this study, an initial robust stability analysis procedure is proposed to test the performance of the designed U-pole placement control systems. Unlike the classical design procedures for non-linear control systems, the control-oriented U-model b... Read More about The initial robustness analysis of designed U-pole placement control systems.

BRDF estimation for faces from a sparse dataset using a neural network (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Hansen, M. F., Atkinson, G., & Smith, M. (2013, August). BRDF estimation for faces from a sparse dataset using a neural network. Paper presented at Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns, CAIP 2013, York, UK

We present a novel �ve source near-infrared photometric stereo 3D face capture device. The accuracy of the system is demonstrated by a comparison with ground truth from a commercial 3D scanner. We also use the data from the �ve captured images to mo... Read More about BRDF estimation for faces from a sparse dataset using a neural network.
