3W for HRI

Project Outline

• Research Period : 2012.6 ~ 2017.5 (5 years, 5st Phase)
• Funded by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (Grant No: 10041629)

Introduction and Research Targets

1. This project is for the purpose of the implementation of technologies for identification, behavior and location of human based sensor network fusion program.

- Reliably detect the occurrence of human-caused emergency situations via audio-visual perception modules
- Make an urgent SMS transmission to let someone know that an emergency event occurs, and relay spot information to them
- Perform an immediate reaction for the happening by using robot navigation and interaction technologies on behlaf of the remote user

2. In this project we develop a robot-assisted management system for promptly coping with abnormal events in classroom environments.

Developing Core Technologies

DETECTION

• WHERE: Human detection and localization

• WHAT: Recognition of individual and group behavior
• 3W data association on the perception sensor network

AUTOMATIC SURVEILLANCE

• Automatic message transmission for human-caused emergencies
• Analysis of student attitude
• Remote monitoring via Web technologies and stream server

ROBOT REACTION

• Human-friendly robot behavior
• Gaze control and robot navigation
• Human following with recovery mechanism
