Machine Learning Techniques for Assistive Robotics
Assistive robots are categorized as robots that share their area of work and interact with humans. Their main goals are to help, assist, and monitor humans, especially people with disabilities. To achieve these goals, it is necessary that these robots possess a series of characteristics, namely the abilities to perceive their environment from their sensors and act consequently, to interact with people in a multimodal manner, and to navigate and make decisions autonomously. This complexity demands computationally expensive algorithms to be performed in real time. The advent of high-end embedded processors has enabled several such algorithms to be processed concurrently and in real time. All these capabilities involve, to a greater or less extent, the use of machine learning techniques. In particular, in the last few years, new deep learning techniques have enabled a very important qualitative leap in different problems related to perception, navigation, and human understanding. In this Special Issue, several works are presented involving the use of machine learning techniques for assistive technologies, in particular for assistive robots.
Ambient Assisted Living
This book presents the refereed proceedings of the Fourth Italian Forum on Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), held in Ancona, Italy, in October 2013. A wide range of issues are covered and new technological developments are described which will support the autonomy and independence of individuals with special needs through an innovative and integrated approach, designed to respond to the socio-economic challenges of an aging population. Topics addressed include: health and well-being, prevention and rehabilitation and support for care providers; active aging and its social implications; services for the frail elderly with health problems and their families; nutrition; ICT platforms/technologies ...
Ambient Assisted Living and Enhanced Living Environments
Ambient Assisted Living and Enhanced Living Environments: Principles, Technologies and Control separates the theoretical concepts concerning the design of such systems from their real-world implementations. For each important topic, the book bridges theory and practice, introducing the instruments needed by professionals in their activities. To this aim, topics are presented in a logical sequence, with the introduction of each topic motivated by the need to respond to claims and requirements from a wide range of AAL/ELE applications. The advantages and limitations of each model or technology are presented through concrete case studies for AAL/ELE systems. The book also presents up-to-date te...
Assistive Technologies for Physical and Cognitive Disabilities
Research on assistive technologies is undergoing many developments in its effectiveness in helping those with varying impairments. New technologies are constantly being created, researched, and implemented for those who need these technological aides in daily life. Assistive Technologies for Physical and Cognitive Disabilities combines worldwide cases on people with physical and cognitive disabilities with the latest applications in assistive technologies. This reference work brings different researchers together under one title to discuss current findings, developments, and ongoing research in the area of rehabilitative technology. This reference book is of critical use to professionals, researchers, healthcare practitioners, caretakers, academicians, and students.
IoT Technologies for HealthCare
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Internet of Things (IoT) Technologies for HealthCare, HealthyIoT 2020, held in Viana do Castello, Portugal, in December 2020. Due to Covid-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually. The IoT as a set of existing and emerging technologies, notions and services can provide many solutions to delivery of electronic healthcare, patient care, and medical data management. The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The papers are grouped in topics on physical data tracking wearables, applications and systems; psychological data tracking wearables, applications and systems; scenarios and security.
Multiple Access Communications
It is our great pleasure to present the proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Multiple Access Communications (MACOM) that was held in Barcelona during September 13–14, 2010. In 1961, Claude Shannon established the foundation for the discipline now known as “multi-user information theory” in his pioneering paper “Two-way Communication Channels,” and later Norman Abramson published his paper “The Aloha System—Another Alternative for Computer Communications” in 1970 which introduced the concept of multiple access using a shared common channel. Thereafter, for more than 40 years of study, numerous elegant theories and algorithms have been developed for multiple-acces...
Human Aspects of IT for the Aged Population. Technologies, Design and User Experience
This three volume set of LNCS 12207, 12208 and 12209 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Human Aspects of IT for the Aged Population, ITAP 2020, held as part of the 22nd International Conference, HCI International 2020, which took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July 2020. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The total of 1439 papers and 238 posters have been accepted for publication in the HCII 2020 proceedings from a total of 6326 submissions. ITAP 2020 includes a total of 104 regular papers which are organized in topical sections named: Involving Older Adults in HCI Methodology , User Experience and Aging, Aging and Mobile and Wearable Devices, Health and Rehabilitation Technologies, Well-being, Persuasion, Health Education and Cognitive Support, Aging in Place, Cultural and Entertainment Experiences for Older Adults, Aging and Social Media, Technology Acceptance and Societal Impact.
Multiple Access Communications
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Multiple Access Communications, MACOM 2011, held in Trento, Italy, in September 2011. The 21 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 40 submissions. They are divided in topical sections on cognitive radio; MAC protocols; communications theory; special session on MAC protocols for WSNs; system analysis and scheduling; and queuing systems.
Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Goods
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 8th EAI International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for social Goods, GOODTECHS 2022, held in Aveiro, Portugal, in November 16-18, 2022 The 7 full papers presented were selected from 18 submissions and issue design, implementation, deployment, operation, and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. Social goods are products and services provided through private enterprises, government, or non-profit institutions and are related to healthcare, safety, sports, environment, democracy, computer science, and human rights.
Advances in Neural Networks: Computational and Theoretical Issues
This book collects research works that exploit neural networks and machine learning techniques from a multidisciplinary perspective. Subjects covered include theoretical, methodological and computational topics which are grouped together into chapters devoted to the discussion of novelties and innovations related to the field of Artificial Neural Networks as well as the use of neural networks for applications, pattern recognition, signal processing, and special topics such as the detection and recognition of multimodal emotional expressions and daily cognitive functions, and bio-inspired memristor-based networks. Providing insights into the latest research interest from a pool of international experts coming from different research fields, the volume becomes valuable to all those with any interest in a holistic approach to implement believable, autonomous, adaptive and context-aware Information Communication Technologies.
