This situation is further exacerbated by a declining working-age population, which has resulted in labor shortages. A potential remedy to these issues lies in the employment of wearable robots. As a form of human-robot collaboration, these devices can augment motor capabilities and offer assistance with various motor functions. To this end, this paper presents a systematic review of the current research status of wearable robots, focusing on the applications of Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRL) and exoskeletons for task assistance and motor function restoration in the field of industrial and rehabilitation, respectively. The paper also deliberates on the research trends, challenges, and prospective directions of human-robot interaction and control strategies regarding wearable robots.","PeriodicalId":44812,"journal":{"name":"APSIPA Transactions on Signal and Information Processing","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135659597","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}

In this paper, we propose a virtual microphone technique, which simulates binaural signals by equalizing ICTDs to ITDs, to localize sound images at azimuths of the sound sources with reference to the real microphones. Binaural signals simulated by the proposed method were examined objectively and subjectively by tests on two-sound-image localization. The tests revealed that the two sound images were localized at azimuths of the sound sources with reference to the real microphones.","PeriodicalId":44812,"journal":{"name":"APSIPA Transactions on Signal and Information Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67081257","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}

For that purpose, we propose an algorithm design that promotes a most recently published face alignment method in terms of model size and computing cost while maintaining high accuracy of face alignment. Specifically, we construct a lightweight two-stage neural network. The first stage estimates boundary heatmaps on the facial region, which are then used to guide the facial landmark position prediction in the second stage. For the first stage, we compress an HourglassNet-based structure by reducing the numbers of feature channels and convolutional kernels and optimizing the structure of Hourglass block by ShuffleNet modules. For the second stage, we compress the subnet by utilizing DeLighT, a recently published lightweight version of Transformer. Experimental results on several standard facial landmark detection datasets show that the proposed algorithm achieves sharp advances in model compactness and computing efficiency while keeping a state-of-the-art level of accuracy in facial landmark detection.","PeriodicalId":44812,"journal":{"name":"APSIPA Transactions on Signal and Information Processing","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135450441","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}
