Emotion recognition is an important aspect of affective computing, one of whose aims is the study and development of behavioral and emotional interaction between human and machine. In this context, another important point concerns acquisition devices and signal processing tools which lead to an...

Security problems and decreasing costs, leads to the rapid development of video surveillance systems. It is necessary to implement analytical tools capable of identifying objects that may appear in the video sequence. The work presented in this article consists of designing a video surveillance...

A humanoid robot is inherently complex due to the heterogeneity of accessory devices and to the interactions of various interfaces, which will be exponentially increased in multiple robotics collaboration. Therefore, the design and implementation of multiple humanoid robotics (MHRs) remains a...

This literature review of exoskeleton design provides a brief history of exoskeleton development, discusses current research of exoskeletons with respect to the innate human-machine interface, and the incorporation of exoskeletons for ergonomic intervention, and offers a review of needed future...

This paper concerns with the problem of odor source localization by a team of mobile robots. The authors propose two methods for odor source localization which are largely inspired from gravitational search algorithm and particle swarm optimization. The intensity of odor across the plume area is...

Path Planning focuses on the robot motion from the initial position to final position such that it must avoid the hurdles and finally reach the goal in optimal path. But it is not an easy task because many conditions are included for the efficiency of final result like working on different...

An increasing number of companies are using robots to perform a variety of repetitive and hazourdous tasks. Existence of many different robot alternatives force companies to consider several conflicting criteria before determining the most suitable robot alternative. Researchers have developed...

Human emotions and social processes are evolutionary intertwined, as the result of neuromodulatory mechanisms that define the nature of how bodies interact with the world and create strategies with other bodies and agents. This article presents the previous simulations of TPR, TPR 2.0 and The...

This article presents the platform for autonomous vehicle architecture, navigation optimization and mobility services. The basic approach is to develop an intelligent agent to create a safety journey and redefine the world of transportation. The goal is to eliminate human driving errors and save...
