WaveSync: Constrained Wavefront Optimization for Synchronized Co-Speech Gestures in Humanoid Robots
Thang Tran Viet, Thanh Nguyen Canh, Gia Huy Uong +4
Expressive co-speech gestures are crucial for natural human--robot interaction, yet generating them on physical humanoid robots remains challenging because, unlike virtual avatars,…
One Channel to Rule Them All: Rethinking Input Representation for Visual Place Recognition
Timur Ismagilov, Shakaiba Majeed, Michael Milford +3
Visual Place Recognition (VPR) is fundamental to long-term robot localization and SLAM, yet current systems overwhelmingly rely on RGB input, implicitly assuming color is necessary…
Decision-Level Fusion for Robust Wearable Affect Recognition
Lokesh Singh, Athina Georgara, Jayati Deshmukh +2
Automatic recognition of affective state from wearable physiology has clear societal impact for public health, preventive care, and stress-aware interventions, but real deployments…
Joint Multi-Condition Representation Modelling via Matrix Factorisation for Visual Place Recognition
Timur Ismagilov, Shakaiba Majeed, Michael Milford +3
We address multi-reference visual place recognition (VPR), where reference sets captured under varying conditions are used to improve localisation performance. While deep learning…
