BACKGROUND: Considerable number of indoor navigation systems has been proposed to augment people with visual impairments (VI) about their surroundings. These systems leverage several technologies, such as computer-vision, Bluetooth low energy (BLE), ...
The use of data logging systems for capturing wheelchair and user behavior has increased rapidly over the past few years. Wheelchairs ensure more independent mobility and better quality of life for people with motor disabilities. Especially, for peop...
Carpenter ants possess the characteristics of division of labor, communication between individuals, cooperation, and the ability to solve problems. Inspired by the carpenter ant, we designed electromagnetically controlled ant millirobots that can mov...
Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is a video technology to inspect abnormalities, like bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. In order to avoid a complex and long duration manual review process, automatic bleeding detection schemes are developed that...

Recent progress in electronic skin or e-skin research is broadly reviewed, focusing on technologies needed in three main applications: skin-attachable electronics, robotics, and prosthetics. First, since e-skin will be exposed to prolonged stresses o...
Labeling activity data is a central part of the design and evaluation of human activity recognition systems. The performance of the systems greatly depends on the quantity and "quality" of annotations; therefore, it is inevitable to rely on users and...
To achieve a smooth and safe guiding of a drone formation by a human operator, we propose a novel interaction strategy for a human-swarm communication, which combines impedance control and vibrotactile feedback. The presented approach takes into acco...
Robotics teleoperation enables human operators to control the movements of distally located robots. The development of new wearable interfaces as alternatives to hand-held controllers has created new modalities of control, which are more intuitive to...
The interaction of robot teams and single human in teleoperation scenarios is beneficial in cooperative tasks, for example, the manipulation of heavy and large objects in remote or dangerous environments. The main control challenge of the interaction...
Mobile services' rapid evolution and development has meant that their evaluation has become a more and more pressing issue, and from both the practical and theoretical standpoints. The significant previous work in the field of multiple-criteria decis...
