Encouraged by some capabilities of new mobile devices, specifically the accelerometer of the iPhone/iPod Touch, I have been working recently on developing some intuitive Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) interfaces. Using the accelerometer of an iPod Touch, and as part of my job as a research associate at the centre for innovation and technology exploitation (CITE), I
Mobile Robot Used in Phase One: The mobile robot used in phase one of the research is a modified powered wheelchair base. It is equipped with an onboard low power consumption PC, a Netburner controller and two IP based Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras. The whole system is designed to be controlled remotely through wireless networking. Therefore the
To implement a person following experiment using the mobile robot platform and its onboard pan/tilt camera an object tracking algorithm had to be developed and examined. For this purpose a color tracking algorithm was modified to suit the requirements of the person following experiment which was to be carried out at a later stage of
