This is a stub to be completed later. The project will have something to do with social robotics. And it would be nice to work with a company like Sony Mobile and/or Meta Bytes (I am trying to get their contact info right now). Some one else could also be involved like Fernando or Eren.


For example:

  • OpenPose for robot exercising.

Baxter will lead a person or group of people to exercise. Poses will be recognized with OpenPose, and we can maybe do something with deep learning. An interesting point could be in adapting to interruptions (maybe the people cannot follow along sometimes, so the robot should stop/slow down sometimes and regain control) and/or recognizing exercises for dementia (they can be different than for young adults, like turning a screw). This class could be at the university gym if we get permission (I have received some contacts and will check).


  • Or, OpenPose for robot first aid.

Baxter will carry out the Glasgow Coma Scale assessment to determine how conscious a patient is. This will involve using computer vision to detect where a robot should touch a person to elicit a reaction, then classifying the way a person moves in reaction (e.g., decerebrate, decorticate). I think this kind of ability to save lives and give real value will be very important for bringing robots into real homes.)

Focus: software Outcomes: a thesis, demonstrator, video, a local conference paper.
