This paper discusses the possibility of using the geometric shape of a pedestrian's head to shoulder region as a feature to identify individuals. The main aim is to track humans in a high density crowd using a 3D laser range finder (3D-LRF). One of the most critical problems of human tracking in a high density crowd is the occurrence of occlusion. Occlusion might occur because of the lack of features on tracking objects and the fragmentation of trajectories. When the trajectories are fragmented, they should be associated correctly in order to realize robust and accurate tracking. To improve the robustness of human tracking in a crowded environment, we consider features of a tracking object that can recognize individuals to be useful when combining trajectories fragmented by occlusion. In this paper, the geometric shape of a pedestrian's head to shoulder region was applied as a feature of a tracking object. The applicability of the feature to the tracking in dynamic environments was done through experiments using a 3D-LRF.

Robots that live with a person for a long term need to build social relationships with the user. We focus on the human-dog relationship because a dog will be attached to the human owner. The dog and the human will then build social relations with each other. This paper proposes an approach to update the relationship between a person and a robot based on the experiences of communication with the person. The relationship between the person and robot is expressed using three types of behavioral factors: degree of attachment with the owner, degree of acceptance to a non-owner, and degree of sensitivity of anxiety. The three behavioral factors determine the behavioral characteristics of the robot. The problem with the previous model is that the parameters of the factors are given as fixed numerical values. As a result, the relationship between persons and robots never change, even though a person treats the robot with affection. More specifically, no mechanism is used in the previous model to change the robot behaviors according to the history of human-robot communication, which causes problems. For example, persons cannot appropriately interpret and estimate the relationship with the robot because the robot behaviors never change. In this paper, we propose a mechanism to update the relationship between persons and a robot by evaluating the human reactive behavior against the robot behavior. Moreover, we evaluate whether human subjects can find and interpret the change in the relationship with the robot using the proposed method.

A smart electric wheelchair is proposed for use as a personal mobility tool (PMT). To reduce the load on the user, PMT is integrated with autonomous mobile robot navigation and human inputs. In addition, an obstacle avoidance function is provided. To facilitate comfortable and easy movement as well as safety and efficiency, we aim to realize a PMT with obstacle avoidance that does not cause discomfort and frustration to the user. The tool detects a human on the basis of the leg shape. The virtual impedance method is used as an obstacle avoidance method in dynamic environments. An experiment is conducted to evaluate the psychological effect of the PMT's obstacle avoidance movement when different types of obstacles and movement characteristics are applied.

Recently industrial robot systems are introduced widely even in the small and medium size enterprises. However, it is difficult for them to employ professional engineers permanently. Then, they need to depend on outside to maintain industrial robots. Therefore a remote operation support system for industrial robots is proposed. Visual and auditory feedback is often used. However, a perception of the information might be limited if different kinds of information in particular sense modality is delivered at the same time. To solve the problem, we proposed a tactile interface which uses tactile information. This paper evaluates the usefulness of the vibrotactile information using the glove-type interface. The experimental results showed that vibrotactile information could not improve work efficiency. However it enable an operator to concentrate other information without increasing a workload. Therefore vibrotactile information is useful.

This paper evaluates a wristband-type tactile interface as a user interface for controlling an industrial robot remotely. When operating a remote monitoring system, information delivery from a local site to an operator at a remote site is important. Visual and auditory feedback is often used. However, perception of the information might be limited if different kinds of information in particular sense modality is delivered at the same time. To solve the problem, we proposed a tactile interface which uses tactile information and we evaluate it. First, we explain the remote operation system for industrial robot and interface, then after that, we present an experiment of vibrotactile information of industrial robot.

This paper presents improved methods of tracking moving objects by using laser range finders located in the environment and of segmenting environmental maps weighted by the degree of human activity. The accuracy of our previously proposed method of detecting individuals needing route guidance service, which involves the use of an autonomous mobile robot, depends on the accuracy of pedestrian tracking Therefore, we herein propose a method that can track a pedestrian even if he or she cannot be directly detected due to occlusion. In addition, since environmental maps depict the human activity histories in particular areas, which vary depending upon the environmental situation, such histories should be divided according to environmental situation to enable more accurate analysis of human activity areas. Thus, we also propose a method of determining the times at which environmental maps should be divided, which is based on calculating the average rate of change in each grid section. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed methods, and the results are presented herein.

The global industry is developing towards smaller and smaller batch sizes in production due to the high pressure on Just-in-time production. This has led to the need for providing cost efficient support to robot users, especially SMEs having limited internal resources and competence to setup, maintain and reconfigure their industrial robot systems. In this study, a new method for the remote operation of industrial robot systems is presented. The method is based upon multi-modal man-machine communication and sensor bridging to transfer huge amounts of information from the industrial robot cell to the brain of the remote operator. The general methodology is explained, however, a special focus is put on gripping and stick-slip detecting in order to provide optimal grasping conditions during robot operations; especially during remote operation.

Recently, social problems associated with a sense of isolation among elderly adults have been highlighted. To address this problem, we propose a long-term human-robot communication program inspired by human-dog relationships. An Etho-engine was improved upon to provide robot accommodations for access within rural regions. We generalized the robot's inner states and updated rules governing decision-making based on interactions with external situations. Additionally, to develop robot preferences for a person other than the owner, a "non-owner" was defined as being initially unfamiliar, with gradual acceptance being updated according to interaction histories and relationships between the non-owner and the owner. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the communication model. We discuss the effectiveness of this modified Etho-engine based on the experimental results.

The first part of a cone's signal transduction is investigated from an image processing perspective in order to find out what differentiates (human) vision from computer vision. We found that the activity of cone opsins-visual pigments that are activated by the impact of a photon-can be described as an approximation of a fractional integrator of order 0.1-0.2 on frequencies between 1-30 Hz. We explore how this affects the output signal and provide examples of how this can be used for noise reduction and image processing. We also present a simplified model since these processes require excessive computational power for computer vision modeling.

In an increasing demand for human-robot collaboration systems, the need for safe robots is crucial. This paper presents a proactive strategy to enable an awareness of the current risk for the robot. The awareness is based upon a map of historically occupied space by the operator. The map is built based on a risk evaluation of each pose presented by the operator. The risk evaluation results in a risk field that can be used to evaluate the risk of a collaborative task. Based on this risk field, a control algorithm that constantly reduces the current risk within its task constraints was developed. Kinematic redundancy was exploited for simultaneous task performance within task constraints, and risk minimization. Sphere-based geometric models were used both for the human and robot. The strategy was tested in simulation, and implemented and experimentally tested on a NACHI MR20 7-axes industrial robot.

The trends of robotics changes as service robots gain more ground and become part of our daily lives. Service or social robots have to function in less controlled and more dynamically changing environments than industrial robots, and the users of social robots are generally less technologically literate than the users of industrial robots, therefore social robots have to be able to interact naturally with humans and to fit in the human social environment. Social robotics faces new challenges that require an interdisciplinary approach. In contrast to previous approaches where the communication and behaviour of social robots were based on human-human interactions, ethorobotics offer a new direction. Today robotics is not advanced enough to reach the physical and cognitive capabilities of humans thus human-animal interaction can serve as a better model for designing the behaviour of social robots. Human-dog relationship is a good example for this paradigm as dogs have similar roles as social robots will have in the future. Dogs acquired social cognitive skills during domestication that enhances the interspecific relationship with humans and helps their interactions. Etho-robotics research uses ethological principles and methods to derive complex behavioural models which can be transcribed to mathematical form and implemented into robots. Human-robot interaction studies can be conducted to evaluate and refine the implemented models. Etho-robotics research was already used to create behavioural models for attachment and for multiple aspects of human-robot interactions. The application of Fuzzy Rule Interpolation methods fits well the conceptually "spare rule-based" structure of the existing descriptive verbal ethological models, as in case of the descriptive verbal ethological models the "completeness" of the rule-base is not required. The main benefit of the FRI method adaptation in ethological model implementation is the fact, that it has a simple rule-based knowledge representation format. Because of this, even after numerical optimization of the model, the rules are still "human readable", and helps the formal validation of the model by the ethological experts. On the other side due to the FRI base, the model has still low computational demand and fits directly the requirements of the embedded implementations.

With the trend of increasing human robot collaboration, the need for more advanced safety systems arises. To create safe robots that act proactive to dangers, a safety system based on risk analysis has been developed. This paper presents a vital part of the risk analysis, the likelihood analysis,. In this likelihood analysis, data about human activity is recorded based on its occupied space. The times of an occupation are recorded in absolute and relative time. A multi-peak probability distribution is fitted to the data using a hidden genes genetic algorithm. This algorithm enabled the system to also optimize the number of peaks in the distribution. The system is implemented and simulated for a simple assembly task. Plots from the simulations show the system's ability to predict active and inactive periods of time in a given area. This information can later be used in a risk analysis based scheduling problem.

This study addressed the leading behavior of a robot. To lead a person when the person's attention is initially elsewhere, the robot's behavior should be designed such that it seeks the person's attention and seamlessly brings him or her to a target location. Therefore, we set out to design and implement a leading behavior for a robot inspired by the dogs' behavior sequence. In particular, we considered the legibility of the movements used by the robot to show a robot's destination clearly. We evaluated the autonomous robot's leading behavior through an experiment.

A smart electric wheelchair for use as a personal mobility tool (PMT) is proposed. To reduce the load on the user, the PMT is integrated with autonomous mobile robot navigation and human input. It is able to reach a destination autonomously based on a directional input from the user. The accuracy of the destination detection depends on the user's input. Therefore, to realize stress-free and efficient movement of the PMT, an appropriate means of destination detection based on inaccurate human input is required. We propose an approach whereby the PMT can determine its destination based not only on the user's input but also on a history of human activity in the living environment. To enable the use of a history of human activity to determine a destination, this paper proposes a mapbuilding method to express a history of human activity on a grid map. An experiment is conducted to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed approach for destination determination based on the subjects' performance of the PMT operation and their mental workload.

This paper presents a control system for redundant robot manipulators that handles the path planning and redundancy control in two separate loops. The goal is to simplify industrial programming of redundant robots, by decomosing it to a familiar path planning loop, and an autonomous redundant control loop. The familiar path planning is done using an industrial robots native control system, which is already known to the operator. An external feedback loop acts as a secondary task control loop so that the redundancy in the robot is used automatically. The secondary task control is expanded from the null space projection method to a method where a parallel space to task space is modeled in joint space. The system was implemented and experimentally verified on a NACHI MR20 7-axes industrial robot with AX20 Controller. The secondary task in the experiments was an obstacle avoidance task that was tested in unknown dynamic and static environments.

To sustain effective and long-term human-robot communications, we propose a robot behavior model based on dog behavior in human-dog relationships. The model includes behavioral factors that produce different behavioral characteristics. In this study, we improved the "play with the owner" behavior, which is the only mutual interaction between a person and the robot among the robot's attachment behaviors. We evaluated the attachment behavior with the improved "play with the person" behavior.

This paper presents a method for building a multi-resolution map of a living environment to achieve efficient navigation. The standard practice for developing a representative map is to use an occupancy grid. However, the usage frequency of each environment has not been considered when building these environmental maps. These maps are not able to present the history of human activity as a feature of the environment. Therefore, these maps cannot be applied to mobile robot navigation to ensure safe and efficient robot movement in living environments. Therefore, we set out to design an environmental map containing resolution information of areas based on the movement history of humans and objects. For example, to present the position of static objects precisely, the area is required to be described in high resolution. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the proposed method and examine whether each resolution is changed appropriately based on the usage of the region. © 2013 IEEE.

We investigated the correspondence relationship between vibrotactile stimuli and tactile mental imagery using a vibrotactile glove proposed in a previous study as an interface for vibrotactile stimuli [1]. The mental impressions of the vibrotactile stimuli obtained by human subjects were measured by semantic differential. Analysis of variance, multiple comparisons, and factor analyses were used to extract and evaluate the distinctive imageries induced by passive touch based on the answers given to questions the subjects were asked. We also discuss the potential of the glove to produce the five fundamental sensations of fine roughness, macro roughness, hardness, warmness, and friction. © 2013 IEEE.

To sustain effective and long-term human-robot communications, a robot behavior model based on dog behavior in human-dog relationships is proposed. The model includes behavioral factors that produce different behavioral characteristics. We conducted experiments to evaluate robot-user impressions of robot behaviors when presented with different characteristics using a simulator. Our findings showed that the robot-users had the impressions that we expected based on the factors selected. As in an earlier model, the behavioral characteristics were assigned fixed numeric values
therefore, the characteristics in that earlier model could not be changed by users. This paper, however, proposes a method that enables users to modify or 'tune' the behavioral characteristics based on verbal communication. © 2013 IEEE.

This study proposes a sine wave-based auditory user interface for assisting visually impaired persons with creating mental maps of walking environments. Wall shapes are considered as fundamental map features of the map in building a mental map of a space. Therefore, the distance and direction to walls are important. In this study, we present information to users via sound. To show the distance to and direction toward walls, a point on the walls should be selected continuously. Then, the distance and the direction to the point can be presented sequentially using sound. Based on this distance and direction information, users can reconstruct wall shapes in their mind. However, we found that the accuracy of such reconstruction depended on wall orientation. To realize the correct reconstruction of wall shapes as mental maps, we decided to provide angle information between two walls to a user in addition to distance and direction information. In this paper, sound designs for presenting distance, direction, and angle information of walls are described. Additionally, results of the experiments for evaluating the proposed method are presented. The experimental results show that angle information was useful for building a mental map using the proposed auditory presentation scheme.

This paper proposes an intuitive teleoperation scheme by using human gesture in conjunction with multimodal human-robot interface. Further, in order to deal with the complication of dynamic daily environment, the authors apply haptic point cloud rendering and the virtual collaboration to the system. all these functions are achieved by a portable hardware that is proposed by authors newly, which is called "the mobile iSpace". First, a surrounding environment of a teleoperated robot is captured and reconstructed as the 3D point cloud using a depth camera. Virtual world is then generated from the 3D point cloud, which a virtual teleoperated robot model is placed in. Operators use their own whole-body gesture to teleoperate the humanoid robot. The Gesture is captured in real time using the depth camera that was placed on operator side. The operator recieves both the visual and the vibrotactile feedback at the same time by using a head mounted display and a vibrotactile glove. All these system components, the human operator, the teleoperated robot and the feedback devices, are connected with the Internet-based virtual collaboration system for a flexible accessibility. This paper showcases the effectiveness of the proposed scheme with experiment that were done to show how the operators can access the remotely placed robot in anytime and place. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.

All these system components e. g. the human user, the teleoperated robot and the feedback devices are connected with the Internet-based virtual collaboration system to support a flexible accessibility. So eventually, this makes possible that users can access the remote placed robot whenever and wherever they want.

Exploratory behavior is one of the dogs' behaviors. In this paper, human-robot communication is considered for the purpose of home-care support.

Intelligent Space (iSpace) is a space in which many intelligent devices, called distributed intelligent network devices (DINDs) and including not only sensors but also actuators, are installed. Robotic devices, which provide services to users, are considered as physical agents in iSpace. For facilitating long-term communication between users and a robot, we focus on building a social relationship between a user and a robot. Toward this end, a methodology for designing social behaviors of the robot is required. Therefore, we have used an ethologically inspired approach to construct a robot behavioral model for an is pace-based elderly monitoring support system. In this paper, the robot behavioral model is presented and implementation of robot behaviors is discussed.

Augmented Personal Working Environments (APWEs) are 3D environments in which the physical surroundings of the user are overlaid with representations of a virtual reality. With the rapid technological evolution of personal informatics devices as well as a growing demand for more comfortable and efficient working environments, the partial virtualization of resources used in our everyday work settings is expected to gradually become inevitable. Irrespective of whether someone is working in an office environment or in industrial settings, this trend in virtualization is expected to lead to more collaborative working environments in which the available resources and the interfaces for dealing with those resources can be both physical and virtual in nature. SpatialMemory, which is a memory system embedded in 3-dimensional physical reality, may without doubt be a central subsystem of future APWEs. In this paper, our goal is to contribute to the development of a theoretical background for Spatial Memory from a cognitive infocommunications perspective, and to outline the future research directions of Spatial Memory in APWEs based on some key applications.

This paper presents interaction between a user and a smart electric wheelchair. We propose a personal mobility tool (PMT) that integrates autonomous mobile robot navigation technology with intuitive and cognitive interaction between a user and a smart wheelchair. An intuitive and noncontinuous input method is proposed to enable a user to specify the direction in which the wheelchair is to go. Using an acceleration sensor and pressure sensors, the user gives a direction to the PMT, then the PMT determines the goal on an environmental map based on the direction. An output interface is used to help the user interpret robot behavior through informative communication between the user and the PMT. In this paper, a vibrotactile seat interface is presented.

Spatial memory is a system to manage digital information in real space using three-dimensional position information and to operate networked devices to deliver the digital information. The concept behind the system is Intelligence Space (iSpace), which is proposed as an intelligent environment. Using distributed intelligence networked devices (DINDs), iSpace can observe events in the real world, and provide information and physical services to users via intelligent agents such as mobile robots, computer devices, and digital equipment based on what has been observed. From this, spatial memory is regarded as a human interface for iSpace. Users of iSpace can store commands and information in the real environment according to their activities, and retrieve necessary information using their own bodies without using any devices such as a mouse and a keyboard. This paper presents an enhancement of the spatial memory to improve the usability of the system and to be applicable in wider areas.

This paper presents human-robot interaction interfaces based on ethological studies. An ethological test procedure was modeled with the application of a fuzzy rule interpolation based fuzzy automaton. This fuzzy automaton was loaded with rules formed from the extracted ethological knowledge. Using the behaviours supplied by the fuzzy automaton as conclusions, different interfaces can be defined for the incarnation of the model. The ethological test procedure and its modeling technique based on the fuzzy automaton will be shortly introduced in the paper, and then the various human-robot interfaces based on the former will be presented. These include interfaces of simulated environments and also interfaces as real robot hardware with their supplemental devices (sensors, cameras, etc.). Copyright 2012 ACM.

This paper proposes a vibrotactile glove interface that enabled users to perceive tactile sensations of virtual objects. The proposed vibrotactile interface was designed to be easy-to-use, easily portable, and lightweight. Active touch might also be useful to realize informative tactile communication. To provide tactile stimuli based on movement of the fingers, five bending sensors were installed on the glove. In this study, the relationship of the correspondence between vibrotactile stimuli and tactile mental imagery was investigated. Subjects' mental impressions of vibrotactile stimuli were measured by using the semantic differential (SD) method. Distinctive imagery from subjects' answers was extracted for factor analysis. After that, a vibration stimuli model was applied to active touch. The tactile mental imagery of users was evaluated for both passive and active touches.

Further, in order to deal with the complication of dynamic daily environment, the authors apply haptic point cloud rendering and the virtual collaboration to the system. all these functions are achieved by a portable hardware that is proposed by authors newly, which is called "the mobile iSpace". First, a surrounding environment of a teleoperated robot is captured and reconstructed as the 3D point cloud using a depth camera. Virtual world is then generated from the 3D point cloud, which a virtual teleoperated robot model is placed in. Operators use their own whole-body gesture to teleoperate the humanoid robot. The Gesture is captured in real time using the depth camera that was placed on operator side. The operator recieves both the visual and the vibrotactile feedback at the same time by using a head mounted display and a vibrotactile glove. All these system components, the human operator, the teleoperated robot and the feedback devices, are connected with the Internet-based virtual collaboration system for a flexible accessibility. This paper showcases the effectiveness of the proposed scheme with experiment that were done to show how the operators the remotely placed robot in anytime and place.

This paper presents interaction between a user and a smart electric wheelchair. We propose a personal mobility tool (PMT) which integrates autonomous mobile robot navigation technology with intuitive and cognitive interaction between a user and a smart wheelchair. An intuitive and noncontinuous input method to enable a user to specify a direction in which he/she wants to go is proposed. Also, to help a user interpret robot behaviors, an output interface to realize informative communication between a user and the PMT is described. In this paper, we introduce a vibrotactile interface to present environmental information from a smart wheelchair to the user. We conducted experiments to study the possibility of utilization of the input interface and the output vibrotactile interface. Experimental results show that the input interface can be successfully used even by users who had not used it before. In the experiments with the vibrotactile interface, users tried to detect distance and angle toward obstacles based on vibration stimuli. Through the experiments, we found that it was difficult for users to detect the exact positions of obstacles, but they were able to detect the direction of the obstacle movement. © 2011 IEEE.

This paper presents an approach to extract human walking paths independently from the orientation of the paths in a global coordinate system. Previously, observing human walking, connectivity between the spaces (areas) has been obtained. In this paper, we regard human walking paths as a feature to represent patterns of activities. Observing and describing human activities can be considered as useful information for intelligent environments to enable the environments to provide suitable support to the users corresponding to their actual situations. In this paper, we present an approach to extract human walking paths independently from the orientation of the paths in a global coordinate system. More specifically, we propose a similarity measurement based on AMSS (Angular Metrics for Shape Similarity), then classify human walking paths using a hierarchical clustering method. Experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves rotation invariant extraction of human walking paths.

This paper presents interaction between a user and a smart electric wheelchair. We propose a personal mobility tool (PMT) which integrates autonomous mobile robot navigation technology with intuitive and cognitive interaction between a user and a smart wheelchair. An intuitive and noncontinuous input method to enable a user to specify a direction in which he/she wants to go is proposed. Using an acceleration sensor and a pressure sensor, a user gives direction to the PMT. Then, the PMT determines a goal position in an environmental map based on the direction. Also, to help a user interpret robot behaviors, an output interface to realize informative communication between a user and the PMT is described. In this paper, we present an improved vibrotactile interface to provide environmental information from a smart wheelchair to the user. We conducted experiments to evaluate users' performance using the output vibrotactile interface. In the experiments, users tried to detect distance and angle toward obstacles based on vibration stimuli. Through the experiments, we could confirm that the improved vibrotactile interface could improve users' performance well.

This paper presents a monitoring support system in Intelligent Space. Intelligent Space (iSpace) is a space in which many intelligent devices, called distributed intelligent network devices (DINDs), are placed to observe the environment. Communicating with individual DINDs enable iSpace to apprehend and understand events in this space and to activate intelligent agents such as mobile robots, computer devices, and digital equipment to provide information and services to users based on observed information. Using the iSpace observation function, we can obtain multiple humans' positions and postures at the same time, even if the humans are in different places in iSpace. Therefore, in this paper we use the iSpace to monitor daily environments with the purpose of home care support. Also, we apply a mobile robot as a tool to deliver monitoring results to users. For designing human-robot communication to achieve continuous and intuitive communication between a user and a mobile robot, we present an ethologically inspired human-robot communication model involving an experiment and implementation of robot behaviors.

We have proposed the spatial memory which is a human interface to operate iSpace agents such as mobile robots, computer displays, etc. Spatial memory enables users to store computerized information ranging from digital files and commands for robots in real space by assigning digital information to a three-dimensional position. Users can retrieve the information by pointing the locations using their own bodies directly. The accessed information will be delivered to a suitable iSpace agent who should execute it. We named information arranged into real space "Spatial-Knowledge-Tag" (SKT). In order to encourage people to share useful information via spatial memory, they need to retrieve pre-arranged SKTs which are arranged by somebody. In this paper, firstly we show possibility of finding SKTs through seeing other users' actions, but not using any display to show locations and content types of SKT. Then, we present two kinds of displays to show users locations and content types of SKTs. Specifically, one is a visualization using computer graphics (we call "graphical display"), the other is a display using vibration (we call "vibration display"). Experiments to compare the efficiency of the methods to find SKTs are shown.

This paper presents an observation system of human-object interaction in the Intelligent Space (iSpace). Object information is necessary to describe events and human activities which happen in environments. Especially, names, colors, size and shapes of objects can be described manually because we can consider that the information will not change. On the other hand, information such as locations of objects, frequency of use of the objects, the users and motion patterns while using the objects can not be described manually because they depend on individuals and contexts when the objects are used. Therefore, we decided to obtain these kinds of object information through observation of human-object interaction. We show an improvement of the observation system and experimental results to verify the system.

This paper presents an observation system of human-object interaction. In intelligent environments, describing and recognizing human activity are one of the important issues in order for the environment to provide suitable services for users. To describe user activity in more details, we have focused on objects' information. We can consider that objects' information consists of both static information such as names, size, colors, and shapes of objects and non-static information such as use of frequency, users, locations, and ways to use them. Static information of objects can be given because we can consider that it will not change. Non-static information, however, depends on actual situation in which objects are utilized by people. We therefore focus on obtaining such non-static information via human-object interaction. This paper addresses an improvement of an observation system of humanobject interaction.

In this research, we propose a method to localize human hand position. In order to provide many types of services for human in the Intelligent Space, human observation is needed. Many applications, such as Spatial Memory, use human hand position for the indicator and to get hand position, the ultrasound localization system is used. When transceiver inclines, the accuracy decreases. To extend the function of spatial memory to iSpace simulator, the new hand localization is needed. In this paper, we will describe the human band localization system by using inertial sensors and also the evaluation by the ultrasonic system.

This paper presents a method for multiple objects localization in the Intelligent Space (iSpace). The localization is realized by using two types of information. One is acceleration data which is used to determine whether an object is being operated. Acceleration data is acquired by using sensor network system. The other is hand position information of a nearest user to one object. By combining the information, positions of objects are able to be estimated by corresponding positions of user hands. In this method, determination of objects initial position is a first problem. In order to solve it, we use correlation of acceleration data among user hands and objects. Initial position of each object is given based on user's hand position which is scored high correlation.

This paper describes an observation system of human-objects interactions to extract relations among humans and physical objects in Intelligent Space (iSpace). The purpose is to obtain information of physical objects which can not be described in advance, in other words, depends on usage history of individual users.

This paper describes enhancement of the spatial memory system in order to improve human activities observation. In previous approach, human activities using the spatial memory in the real world can be observed, but activities using physical objects can not be observed. Therefore, we will focus on interaction among humans and objects. By attaching small sensor nodes to humans' hand and physical objects, the observation will be achieved. In order to realize uniformed methodology for the observation of human activities based on the spatial memory, we introduce Object-based Spatial- Knowledge-Tags (O-SKTs). History of human-object interaction is described by using an O-SKT including 4W1H (who, what, when, where and how) information. This paper presents a system to observe human-object interaction and experimental results of the observation.

This paper presents the spatial memory that aids human activities in a working environment. The spatial memory enables humans to store computerized information into the real world by assigning a 3-D position as the memory address. By storing computerized information into the real world, users can manipulate the information in similar ways as physical objects. Consequently, we can retrieve stored knowledge by indicating the point using our own arms, which we name "human indicator." This paper shows a prototype of the spatial memory system, which has potential to enhance desk work. The implemented system is evaluated through two types of experiments by using human subjects. Experimental results verify the efficiency and the effectiveness of our spatial memory framework based on a statistical test.

This paper presents an implementation of the spatial memory system for supporting collaboration activity in Intelligent Space. In this paper, a design of the new spatial memory system is described based on three requirements for a collaboration system: (1) sharing information for multi-users and multi-terminals, (2) access privileges for SKTs and (3) user identification. User identification method is one of the most important functions for sharing information systems. Therefore, this paper proposes a new user identification method by using the spatial memory system. More specifically, users create their own key-Spatial-Knowledge-Tags (SKTs) as passwords to use the spatial memory system. The new user identification method is evaluated through user experiments. Experimental results show high effectiveness of the method.

This paper presents a classification of human activities based on usage history of the spatial memory system in order to estimate individual human's intended purpose of an environment. We named the intended purposes for a place "space-human activity association". Intended purposes for a place will be different depending on the purpose of activities, even if observed activities are almost the same. Therefore, estimation of space-human activity association is important for intelligent environments to design services provided for individual human according to his/her current situation. The spatial memory system enables human users to store computerized information into the real world by assigning a three-dimensional position to the information, and to retrieve the information by directly indicating the point using their own hands. In the spatial memory system, what associates computerized information with a three-dimensional position is called "Spatial-Knowledge-Tag (SKT). The users actively create SKTs based on their need. As a result, arranged SKTs in a specified environment correspond to activity histories of the users. Also, users' intended purposes for the environment are reflected in the arrangement. Therefore, classification of arranged SKTs leads to classification of human activities, and accordingly estimation of intended purposes for places. In this paper, in order to investigate usefulness of the proposed classification method, we consider two types of environments, and arranged SKTs are classified.

This paper presents a classification of human activities based on usage history of the spatial memory system and a numerical expression of each human activity in order to estimate individual human's intended purpose of an environment. We named the intended purposes for a place "spacehuman activity association". Intended purposes for a place will be different depending on the purpose of activities, even if observed activities are almost the same. Therefore, estimation of space-human activity association is important for intelligent environments to design services provided for individual human according to his/her current situation.

Therefore, classification of arranged SKTs leads to classification of human activities, and accordingly estimation of intended purposes for places. In this paper, we describe two approaches to classify human activities. More specifically, the first approach is a classification of arranged SKTs by using only SKTs' information. The second approach is a classification of arranged SKTs by using both SKTs' information and usage history of the spatial memory system. As a result, the classification based on usage history of the spatial memory system showed multiple activities in the same area. On the other hand, the first approach resulted in a single cluster in the same area. We, then, give numerical values to SKT's content type, and obtained numerical expression of each human activity.

This paper presents approaches using the spatial memory to classify human activities spatially and characteristically for recognizing "space-human activity association". The spatial memory enables humans to store computerized information such as digital files and commands into the real world by assigning three-dimensional position as the memory addresses. Humans can retrieve and store such information by directly indicating the point using their own body e.g. user's hand and user's head. A virtual tag, which associates a digital data with a spatial location, is called Spatial-Knowledge-Tag (SKT). SKT is created by a human based on his policy and his purpose in an environment. SKTs including locations and contents describe human activities at places. To design and implement services for inhabitants in an intelligent environment, it is required to know purposes which people intend to use the places. This paper applies two approaches to classify human activities spatially and characteristically. More specifically, one is a classification of arranged SKTS by using only spatial memory addresses and the size of accessible regions, the other is a classification of arranged SKT based on observation of human activities and forms of spatial memory data.

This paper proposes the spatial memory as an interface between human and Intelligent Space (iSpace). The spatial memory regards three-dimensional space as mass storage of computers, i.e. three-dimensional point is treated as an address of stored digital data such as various documents, images and commands for machines. Consequently, we can access stored digital data by indicating a point using our own arms, which we named "human indicator". In this paper, we implement a prototype of the spatial memory system which is supposed to utilize digital data regarded as externalized knowledge. The implemented system is evaluated through two types of experiments. The tendency to forget and the efficiency of task performance are investigated. By applying the t-test under the level of significance 5%, experimental results of the performance efficiency show significant statistical difference between the results with the spatial memory and without it.

This paper describes the emotional evaluation of a frisky robot that weaves around its human owner; the evaluation is based on the SD (Semantic Differential) method and the RRV(R-R wave variance) method using electrocardiograms (ECG) as the biosignal source. The SD method is effective to measure emotion, and the RRV method is suitable for investigating the physiological state from the heartbeat. The SD method represents that humans show a significant response only when the robot weaves, not when it simply shadows the human. Furthermore, it is confirmed that these methods are correlated and the RRV method is effective in real time evaluation.

This paper purposes to improve accuracy of positioning control within nano-scale of the linear stage made of fine-ceramics. In this control, the disturbance as the vibration of the tip and the friction transition between the tips and the guide causes the position vibration of the stage, and then the position error is increased. Positioning control of the linear stage is examined by two control strategies, i.e., a PID control (PID type) and a PID control with the disturbance observer (PID+DO type). Comparing the experimental results, it is found that the position error of PlD+DO type is less than that of PID type. The considerations in the comparison for the experimental data are shown.

Recently the studies of autonomous mobile robot are increasing. As a task of these robots, navigation of humans is considered. Such a robot needs to find people who need a navigation service. In this paper, we propose two methods to distinguish humans who need navigation services from other people. The first one is using an environment map that presents history of human activity to find humans who stand in not-often used areas. The second method is based on evaluations of human walking paths. An experiment is conducted to evaluate the usefulness of the first method at a public space. To evaluate the usefulness of the first method experiments are conducted using the proposed environment maps that are built on three different times of a day. In addition, the accuracy of the second method is also evaluated.

To use the spatial memory system through human activities it is necessary to observe human behaviors in addition to the information on the usage of space. In this paper, we propose a method of motion recognition based on the time-series data of human posture. Similarity of motions is calculated by using the cosine similarity. This method can recognize motion regardless of individual difference of physical description. Humans are observed without any markers. Template data for motion recognition is generated based on the observation result.

This paper describes a wristband-type tactile interface as a user interface for industrial robot remote monitoring systems. When operating a remote monitoring system, information delivery from a local site to an operator at a remote site is important. Visual and auditory information is often used. However, perception of the information might be limited if different types of information, are delivered at the same time. To solve this problem, we propose an interface that uses an illusion phenomenon called the phantom sensation. We present a preliminary experiment of the phantom sensation for the design of a wristband-type tactile interface.

This paper proposes a vibrotactile glove interface that enables a user to perceive tactile information of virtual object. We also evaluate mental imagery provided from vibrotactile stimuli using the proposed interface. The vibrotactile interface is required to be simple to use, has a high portability and be light. We therefore propose a glove-type vibrotactile interface. In addition, active touch might be useful to realize informative tactile communication. To provide tactile stimuli based on movement of the fingers, five bending sensors are installed on the glove. In this paper, we investigate tactile mental imagery of users caused by vibration to design vibration stimuli. After that, we apply the vibration stimuli model to active touch. We evaluate tactile mental imagery of users in both cases of passive touch and active touch.

We focus on communication from a smart electric wheelchair to the user to help the user understand surrounding environment. To realize this, we previously proposed a vibrotactile seat interface to provide environmental information to the user. Through experiments, we found several problems in interface use. This paper therefore presents improvement of the vibrotactile seat interface. We show experiments to confirm how users can detect activated motors correctly when using the proposed vibrotactile seat interface.

This paper presents a method to build a map including mobile objects&#039; movement for mobile robot navigation in living environments. If a robot can generate a path to move a destination taking humans&#039; working areas into account, the robot can reduce crossing the areas. Then, it can be expected that the robot can get to the destination efficiently and people&#039;s activities will not be disturbed. We conducted experiments to evaluate performance for detecting moving objects using the proposed method by comparing with a background subtraction method. Maps describing both static and moving objects are also shown.

This paper describes a simple but robust human interface for smart environments which are spaces with many distributed and networked sensors and actuators. Smart environments have to recognize requests from users to provide the desired services and it is desirable that the user can request the services through natural interfaces. Therefore, a suitable human-smart environment interface is needed. In this paper, since a sound can be easily detected by using distributed microphones, we focus on a sound based human interface and utilize the pitch information of the sound. The frequency of sounds is considered as a trigger to call a service, i.e. a service is provided when the system detects a sound which has the corresponding frequency. The proposed approach is tested using various sound sources. The experimental results show that the developed system is able to recognize the sound robustly even in the presence of environmental noise.

This paper discusses the simulation of sensor arrangements in Intelligent Space. Because there are many kinds of sensors in Intelligent Space, the optimal arrangements of sensor are important. So we are doing simulation to make arrangements more intelligent. OpenGL is used to simulate the 3D model of the indoor environment and the effective distance of sensor can be seen clearly in the simulation so that we can make arrangements easier. This simulation is expected to make the Intelligent Space visible and further research connected to actual observation is ongoing.

In this paper, Intelligent Space based human-object relations observation system is proposed and constructed. Intelligent Space is an environment that has distributed sensors for observing and actuators for acting in the space, in order to provide various services to human. There are a lot of objects in Intelligent Space and in order to offer appropriate services using these objects, not only the physical information about the object but also the object&#039;s information that occurred by interaction with human is needed. We try to define human-object relations based on the use history of objects and discuss the method of observing it.

In this research, we aim to describe objects&#039; properties for designing services of Intelligent Space. In order to realize this, we focus on physical interaction between human and objects. Physical interaction is observed by using wireless sensor network, and described by acceleration data. In this paper, we estimate an object handled by human based on the acceleration data.

The spatial memory regards three-dimensional space as mass storage of computers, i.e. three-dimensional point is treated as an address of stored digital data such as various documents, images and commands for machines. Consequently, we can access stored digital data by indicating a point using our own arms, which we named "human indicator". In this paper, the improved spatial memory system and a design of the spatial memory arrangement are shown. Usage history of the spatial memory is equivalent to part of human activity. Moreover, tracking of the activity can be utilized for extraction of spatial meaning which people implicitly suppose.

This paper describes the emotional evaluation of a frisky robot that weaves around its human owner
the evaluation is based on the SD (Semantic Differential) method and the RRV(R-R wave variance) method using electrocardiograms (ECG) as the biosignal source. The SD method is effective to measure emotion, and the RRV method is suitable for investigating the physiological state from the heartbeat. The SD method shows that humans show a significant response only when the robot weaves, not when it simply shadows the human. Furthermore, we revealed that these methods are correlated which suggests that the RB.V method supports real time evaluation.

This paper reports a walking behavior of crowd in a narrow passageway using the walking model based on the servo system. To measure the crowd density, the passageway is divided into the unit region and the number of humans in each region is examined. Through simulations that crowd advances to one exit in the straight passageway, the crowd density in each unit region is shown in two cases of the total number of humans, 500 and 1500.
