The therapeutic objectives include an improvement in social communication and interaction skills, joint attention, response inhibition and cognitive flexibility of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). To achieve the aforementioned objectives, imitation games with humanoid robots are implemented. Preliminary application results suggest that robot-assisted treatment can improve children behavior. Hence, an engagement of humanoid robots in special education is encouraged. Further improvements are planned by computational intelligence techniques toward increasing the humanoid robot autonomy.","PeriodicalId":355536,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 7th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115993705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inside this nanogrid and using short term power availability together with demand response techniques, the system will be able to control and schedule the main domestic loads such as heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems, white goods or lighting among others. The control system is designed following the latest machine-to-machine (M2M) communication trends and standards defined by the oneM2M consortium.

They improve workers' performance in industry and medicine. In addition gaming and entertainment profit from these innovations. The enabling devices are often head-mounted. New intuitive interaction methods must be developed to control application, because conventional input devices such as keyboards, touch screens or classical touch pads cannot be used. This paper introduces electroencephalographic (EEG) eye-tracking as an additional interaction channel. Ocular artefacts (EOG) in the EEG signal are used to detect eye positions. A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is used to capture the data. Data is processed and EOG artefacts are extracted to compute the position of the pupil. The first test runs confirm that ocular artefacts in the EEG signal are strongly correlated with the position of the pupils. Extreme positions of the pupils (horizontal left, horizontal right, vertical up and vertical down) can be detected with high accuracy (true-positive-rate of up to 96,6%). In future tests, we successively refine the direction and speed of eye movement and verify their usage under real-time conditions.","PeriodicalId":355536,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 7th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"30 13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126520860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once the fall event is detected, then the location is determined by using the bluetooth signal received from beacons. Then, the mobile robot moves towards the user's location, and finally verifies if the detected fall event is a true positive or not, through a procedure based on voice interaction with the potentially fallen user.

Once the respective language is selected, the downloaded subtitle file is parsed and the time that has elapsed from the beginning of the event is calculated and the subtitle is shown just on time. Graphical elements are displayed by DirectFB library and the process of downloading subtitle files from the server is realized using thttpd server and cURL library. The application is written in the C programming language and consists of main module, module for parsing of service information (SI) and program-specific information (PSI) tables, module for graphics, module for handling inputs from remote controller, module for downloading of the.srt file from the server and module for parsing of the.srt file.
