Obesity and overweight are two factors linked to various health problems that lead death in the long run. Technological advancements have granted chance create smart interventions. These interventions could be operated by Internet of Things (IoT) connects different home wearable devices, providing a large pool data. In this work, we use IoT with technologies present an exemplary nutrition monitoring intake system. This system integrates input from devices understand users' behavior better...
In order to acquire socially acceptable behaviors and seamlessly interact with humans, robots must employ robust solutions identify, track follow the interacting person in common environments. Robots nowadays typically are equipped a camera which can be used perform body as well face recognition. However, moves environment, robot might lose of individual, e.g., behind corners or obstacles. We report our experience design implementation solution that is able target re-identify if line sight...
Navigation is an essential task for social robots. However, certain rules must be followed to allow them move without causing distraction or discomfort people. Considering that the context surrounding robots and persons affects expected behavior, this work defines a area around person adapts real situation. In addition, of extended identify groups people, which robot should take into account while navigating. With understanding together with ability predict trajectory individuals as well...
Modern ubiquitous computing environments are increasingly populated with smart devices that need to know the identity of users interacting them. At same time, number authentications a user needs perform increases, as nowadays such TVs require authentication which was not case in earlier times. Even for single-person households, authenticate against present environment appears at regular intervals, ranging from voice assistants, gaming consoles. To reduce repeated authentication, we explore...
