Microsoft Kinect hacking fever
Dec 5th
Kinect and OpenNI framework are used to address the problems in human-robot/computer interaction and some classical problems in robotics, e.g., SLAM.
Emergency Response Robot
Jan 20th
This is an Emergency Response Robot project. Co-operate with MIT Media Lab.
Develop emergency response behaviors for the MDS (Mobile/Dexterous/ Social) robots for victim search and rescue. The approaches were designed for the uBot-5 at Umass and ported to the Nexi robot at MIT Media Lab.
uBot-5 searching objects
Jan 18th
This project is to implement search behaviors for multi-type agents, including uBot-5 robot and PTZ camera sensor array, and to develop new approaches to multi-agent coordination in exploration and object search.
Smart house solution using Multimedia Wireless Sensor Network
Jan 16th
The design and implementation of a multi-modal wireless sensor network for elder care applications. The system monitors the elderly users in their residence and provides a set of assisted living and emergency monitoring applications.
Dual-camera wireless sensor platform
Jan 15th
In this project I developed and released an Arm-linux driver for Yale camera sensor (Enalab Camera) on Intel Mote 2 platform (PXA270). Based on this work, I designed and implemented a dual-camera wireless sensor platform by combining the Enalab camera sensor and the Cyclops camera sensor.
