| Research Abstract |
We do research on multimodal interface and object recognition system for a service robot that brings a requested object to a human user. Concerning the interface between the robot and the user, gesture recognition is used. The method to obtain useful and necessary information by detecting and analyzing the motion of human hands or fingers is proposed. As for the object recognition, the robot with an arm contacts or taps objects in the surroundings. The visual information changes as a result of physical interaction between the robot and objects. By using visual change information, the accuracy of identifying a certain object existing in a daily life is improved.
