Fuzzy-Integral Based Estimate of Vertical-Direction Error Caused by Pointing Fingers at Objects

抄録

There have been recent attempts to control home electric appliances and devices using robots. Information can be shared with robots by using finger pointing. Finger pointing is used as a means of communication with people around. However, when a person points at an object with a finger, position of the object cannot be indicated accurately. In this work, we studied the error between a target point, which a person tries to point at with a finger, and an observation point, which is actually pointed at. We also proposed an error estimation model using a fuzzy integral to estimate and correct the error at the observation point.
