Service robotics is currently a pivotal research area in robotics, with enormous societal potential. Since service robots directly interact with people, nding natural" and ea...
We present a system capable of visually detecting pointing gestures and estimating the 3D pointing direction in real-time. We use Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) trained on different ...
Pointing gestures are a common and intuitive way to draw somebody’s attention to a certain object. While humans can easily interpret robot gestures, the perception of human beha...
We present as a contribution to the field of human-machine interaction a system that analyzes human movements online, based on the concept of Laban Movement Analysis (LMA). The im...
