Fast 3D Modeling of Prosthetic Robotic Hands Based on a Multi-Layer Deformable Design
Current research of designing prosthetic robotic hands mainly focuses on improving their functionality by devising new mechanical structures and actuation systems. Most of existing work relies on a single structure/system (e.g., bone-only or tissue-only) a ...
WHIOCE PUBLISHING PTE LTD, SINGAPORE2022Virtual Safety Assistant: An Efficient Tool for Ensuring Safety During Covid-19 Pandemic
Using intelligent virtual assistants for controlling employee population in workspaces is a research area that remains unexplored. This paper presents a novel application of virtual humans to enforce Covid-19 safety measures in a corporate workplace. For t ...
SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG2022Learning a Unified Blind Image Quality Metric via On-Line and Off-Line Big Training Instances
In this work, we resolve a big challenge that most current image quality metrics (IQMs) are unavailable across different image contents, especially simultaneously coping with natural scene (NS) images or screen content (SC) images. By comparison with exist ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2020Hough Forest With Optimized Leaves for Global Hand Pose Estimation With Arbitrary Postures
Daniel Thalmann, Hui Liang, Jun Lee
Vision-based hand pose estimation is important in human-computer interaction. While many recent works focus on full degree-of-freedom hand pose estimation, robust estimation of global hand pose remains a challenging problem. This paper presents a novel alg ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2019Real-Time 3D Hand Pose Estimation with 3D Convolutional Neural Networks
In this paper, we present a novel method for real-time 3D hand pose estimation from single depth images using 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Image-based features extracted by 2D CNNs are not directly suitable for 3D hand pose estimation due to th ...
IEEE COMPUTER SOC2019Object Grasping of Humanoid Robot Based on YOLO
This paper presents a system that aims to achieve autonomous grasping for micro-controller based humanoid robots such as the Inmoov robot [1]. The system consists of a visual sensor, a central controller and a manipulator. We modify the open sourced object ...
SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG2019Design of a Highly Biomimetic and Fully-Actuated Robotic Finger
During design a mechanical structure such as a robotic finger, modeling parts and designing joints are two time-consuming steps. This paper presents a method for design and fabrication of a humanoid robotic finger that intends to mimic the human finger in ...
IEEE2019Design of a Flexible Articulated Robotic Hand for a Humanoid Robot
It is often desirable for humanoid robots to have dexterous hands and perform human-like grasps. This requires a deliberate design of hands, in addition to a good actuation system and an efficient 3D vision system. In this paper, we present a simple method ...
IEEE2019Evaluating Quality of Screen Content Images Via Structural Variation Analysis
With the quick development and popularity of computers, computer-generated signals have drastically invaded into our daily lives. Screen content image is a typical example, since it also includes graphic and textual images as components as compared with na ...
IEEE COMPUTER SOC2018The Making of a 3D-Printed, Cable-Driven, Single-Model, Lightweight Humanoid Robotic Hand
Dexterity robotic hands can (Cummings, 1996) greatly enhance the functionality of humanoid robots, but the making of such hands with not only human-like appearance but also the capability of performing the natural movement of social robots is a challenging ...
