Robosofa-low cost multimodal I O fusion for smart furniture

Abstract EN

the smart furniture provide various services alone or by communication with other devices.

The cost and time for building such devices is a barrier to the deployment of various novel applications.

Since the smart devices are typically equipped with embedded or traditional computers, various sensors and multimodal I / O devices, it can provide various services in public spaces as well as in private spaces.

The goal of our research was to introduce affordable techniques on how to build and model the acceptable multimodal HCIs and interactions with the environment all integrated in the mobile smart furniture device.

In this paper we present a detailed analysis of the associated, promising state of the art techniques and the initial set of techniques we have used to realize the multimodal HCI interaction, followed by the descriptions of implemented control algorithms and some first-hand experimental evaluation analysis.
