Multi-person eyeblink detection in untrimmed in-the-wild videos is a recently emerged and challenging task. Due to its significant spatio-temporal fine-grained characteristics compared to general actions, we empirically find that general action detectors, though effective in general domains, struggl
While automatic anthropometric measurement extraction has witnessed growth in recent years, effective, non-contact, and precise measurement methods for dressed humans in arbitrary poses are still lacking, limiting the widespread application of this technology. The occlusion caused by clothing and th…
Magneto-actuated soft robots have broad prospects for biomedical applications, such as cell manipulation, drug delivery, and noninvasive intervention. However, the single function and unchangeable stiffness restrict their practicality. Therefore, the work presented a functionally reconfigurable soft
A mobile robot that follows behind humans in structured environments has to face the challenge of full occlusion caused by the walls when the target person makes a turn at the corridor intersections. This may result in short-term, even a permanent loss of the target from the field of view of the Hum…
An on-line trajectory generation algorithm with time-variant kinematic motion constraints is presented in this paper. The algorithm is an extension of a class of trajectory planning method which is applicable with constant kinematic motion constraints only. The extended approach allows the abrupt ch…
This paper aims to smooth jerky trajectories for high-DOF manipulators with Soft Motion [1] shortcuts which are bounded in velocity, acceleration and jerk. The algorithm presented here iteratively picks two points on the trajectory and attempts to replace the intermediate trajectory with a shorter a…
