Abstract In Human-Robot Interactions (HRI), robots should be socially intelligent. They
should be able to respond appropriately to human affective and social cues in order to …

Abstract Service robotics is currently a highly active research area in robotics, with
enormous societal potential. Since service robots directly interact with people, finding …

Models of visual attention provide a general approach to control the activities of active vision
systems. We introduce a new model of attentional control that differs in important aspects …

The aim of the work is to build self-growing based architectures to support visual
surveillance and human–computer interaction systems. The objectives include: identifying …

In this work, we proposed an online gesture recognition method based on LAN (Localist
Attractor Networks). It was employed to recognize human gestures using streams of feature …

Physical traits such as the shape of the hand and face can be used for human recognition
and identification in video surveillance systems and in biometric authentication smart card …

Die Multimodalität als neuartiges Konzept der Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion steht
gegenwärtig im besonderen Interesse der anwendungsorientierten Forschung. Die …

Self-organising neural models have the ability to provide a good representation of the input
space. In particular the Growing Neural Gas (GNG) is a suitable model because of its …

Growing models have been widely used for clustering or topology learning. Traditionally
these models work on stationary environments, grow incrementally and adapt their nodes to …

The development of a hybrid system for (mainly) gesturebased human-robot interaction is
presented, thereby describing the progress in comparison to the work shown at the last …
