No full textThis paper discusses the role of evolutionary computation in visual perception for partner robots. The search of evolutionary computation has many analogies with human visual search. First of all, we discuss the analogies between the evolutionary search and human visual search. Next, we propose the concept of evolutionary robot vision, and multiple human face detection method based on local genetic algorithm clustering. Finally, we show experimental results of the multiple human face detection using mobile platform iPhone platform to discuss the effectiveness of our proposed method
Flow Direction Prediction of Ball Movement for Humanoid Robot Soccer Goalkeeper
No full textIn Robocup, The most important sensor
on humanoid robot soccer is a camera. The camera
serves as the eyes of the robot as well as in humans.
This camera is used by the robot to detect the ball.
The task of Humanoid Robot Soccer as a Goalkeeper
is to keep the goal and must be able to block a ball
that came directly to the goal from many directions
so the ball is not got into the goal. As already been
known, the results of the camera image captured is
always later than the pictures that has been taken,
moreover if the shooting process is added with image
processing such as adjusting contrast, brightness, etc.
then the delay in image capture will be even greater.
This causes late in reaction to the Humanoid Robot
Soccer Goalkeeper when it’s blocking the ball that
coming from any direction. Therefore we need a
computer vision technique to estimate the direction
of movement of the ball so there is no delay in
reaction to the robot in blocking the ball. In this
paper is discussed the flow direction prediction of the
ball movement for Humanoid Robot Soccer
Goalkeeper. The processing of ball movement
prediction is obtained by comparing the previous ball
data detection and the latest data detection to get the
direction of the ball movement. This robot is a second
generation of humanoid robot called EFuRIO soccer

Motion Optimization of Humanoid Robot Soccer “Goalkeeper” Using Behavior Based Coordination
No full textAccuracy and speed of movement is required for a goalkeeper robot in the Robocup soccer competition. Moreover, instability and robustness of goalkeeper robot is often a problem in itself that often arise especially if the robot is a humanoid robot. There are various methods on how to improve the performance of movement of humanoid robot have been actively studied. So now we propose how to optimize the movement of humanoid robot and research to this time is devoted to the movement of a humanoid robot goalkeeper by
using behavior based coordination. In this paper, a stabilization algorithm is proposed using the balance condition of the robot, which is measured using accelerometer sensor during standing, walking, turning, getting up, etc. Then the information from the outside is obtained by using the other sensor that is webcam camera and also from this sensor the robot can decide and behave to respond the data information effectively. In order to generate the proper and fast reaction, so a behavior based
algorithm is applied in finding the most effective movement when the robot responds some stimulus. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified by walking, getting up and ball anticipating movement and this experiment is conducted on a 16-DOFs humanoid robot, called EEPIS Fußball Robot IO (EFuRIO) 2nd generation
FMX (EEPIS FACIAL EXPRESSION MECHANISM EXPERIMENT): PENGENALAN EKSPRESI WAJAH MENGGUNAKAN NEURAL NETWORK BACKPROPAGATION
No full textIn the near future, it is expected that the robot can interact with humans. Communication itself has many varieties. Not only from word to word, but body language also be the medium. One of them is using facial expressions. Facial expression in human communication is always used to show human emotions. Whether it is happy, sad, angry, shocked, disappointed, or even relaxed? This final project focused on how to make robots that only consist of head, so it could make a variety facial expression like human beings. This Face Humanoid Robot divided into several subsystems. There are image processing subsystem, hardware subsystem and subsystem of controllers. In image processing subsystem, webcam is used for image data acquisition processed by a computer. This process needs Microsoft Visual C compiler for programming that has been installed with the functions of the Open Source Computer Vision Library (OpenCV). Image processing subsystem is used for recognizing human facial expressions. With image processing, it can be seen the pattern of an object. Backpropagation Neural Network is useful to recognize the object pattern. Subsystem hardware is a Humanoid Robot Face. Subsystem controller is a single microcontroller ATMega128 and a camera that can capture images at a distance of 50 to 120 cm. The process of running the robot is as follows. Images captured by a camera webcam. From the images that have been processed with image processing by a computer, human facial expression is obtained. Data results are sent to the subsystem controller via serial communications. Microcontroller subsystem hardware then ordered to make that facial expression. Result of this final project is all of the subsystems can be integrated to make the robot that can respond the form of human expression. The method used is simple but looks quite capable of recognizing human facial expression. Keyword: OpenCV, Neural Network BackPropagation, Humanoid Robo

Facial Expression Simulator Control System using OpenGL Graphical Simulator
No full textVerbal communication is communication that uses the language or voice interaction, whereas nonverbal communication is communication that interacts with one of these gestures is to show facial expressions. We propose of the implementation of controls based on the facial expressions of human face. Based on obtained the information expression then translated into a device simulator using the OpenGL graphics software as an indication tool and easy for analyzing the emotional character of a person through a computer device. In the implementation of the face was found that the mechanism of the humanoid robot head in nonverbal interaction has 8 DOF (Degree of Freedom) from the various combinations between the drive motor servo eyebrows, eyes, eyelids, and mouth in order to show the anger, disgust, happiness, surprise, sadness, and fear facial expression
Indra Devi:The way of yoga of Krishnamacharya
No full textMaģistra darbā tiek skatīts temats, kas veltīts jogas modernizācijai un izplatībai ārpuses Indijas, iepazīstot rietumu sabiedrību ar jogu, kas nevis koncentrējas uz meditāciju un atbrīvošanos no pasaulīgām piesaistēm, bet kas pamatā balstīta fiziskās sagatavotības, stresa mazināšanas un relaksācijas tehnikās. Attiecībā uz jogas mūsdienīgu attīstību, par vienu no svarīgākajām personām kļūst Tirumalajs Krišnamačarja (1888-1989), kurš atstāja ļoti lielu ietekmi jogas attīstībā, liekot uzsvaru tieši uz āsanu jeb jogas fizisko pozu veikšanu. Transformējot tradicionālo jogu, Krišnamačarjas mācekle – Indra Devi (1899-2002) viņa mācību pielāgoja Rietumu sabiedrībai. Maģistra darba mērķis ir: Izanalizēt, kādas Krišnamačarjas jogas prakses izmaiņas Indra Devi ievieš Rietumos. Maģistra darbā četru nodaļu ietvaros autore iepazīstina ar Indras Devi ceļu no Rīgas līdz Indijai un vēlāk līdz Holivudai, izdarot neiedomājami daudz jogas attīstībā un izplatībā pasaulē. Autore raksturo Krišnamačarjas jogas pamatprincipus, lai būtu iespējams izdarīt secinājumus par to, ko tieši Indra Devi vispār šajā mācībā un uztverē maina. Darba otrajā daļā autore iepazīstina ar Indras Devi jogas mācību un principiem, kā arī veic vispārīgu salīdzinājumu starp klasiskās Patandžali jogas principiem un izmaiņā, kuras ievieš Krišnamačarja un Indra Devi. Maģistra darbā tiek secināts, ka modernā joga ir pielāgojusies dažādām praktizētāju vajadzībām un vēlmēm visā pasaulē - no dinamiskas un fiziski smagas aštanga un spēka jogas līdz maigai un meditatīvai atjaunojošajai jogai. Līdztekus fiziskajiem aspektiem mūsdienu joga, ko piedāvā Indra Devi, ietver apzinātības, stresa mazināšanas un visaptverošas labsajūtas elementus, padarot to par populāru izvēli tiem, kas meklē harmonisku ķermeņa, prāta un gara integrāciju. Indra Devi izmantoja savā laikā populārās idejas par cilvēka tiekšanos pēc brīvības, miera un labklājības. Stils, kādā savās grāmatās Indra Devi uzrunā lasītājus, iepazīstinot ar jogu, ir ļoti vienkāršots un vispārināts. Viņa apzināti izvairās no sarežģītu terminu lietošanas, kas lasītājam varētu prasīt papildus iedziļināšanos hinduisma reliģijā. Tāpēc viņa par jogu runā kā par vispārējas fiziskās labsajūtas veicināšanas instrument. Šāda pieeja gūst ļoti lielus rezultātus. Tāpēc, var secināt, ka autores izvirzītā tēze darba ievadā - “Lai jogas prakse gūtu atzinību ārpus Indijas, Indra Devi to sekularizē, pasniedzot jogu kā fiziskās labsajūtas uzlabošanas aktivitāti, garīguma aspektam atvēlot sekundāru lomu” – ir apstiprinājusies.This Master's thesis deals with the modernization and spread of yoga outside India, introducing the western society to a yoga that does not focus on meditation and release from worldly attachments, but is based on fitness, stress reduction and relaxation techniques. In terms of the modern development of yoga, one of the most important figures is Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (1888-1989), who had a profound influence on the development of yoga, with his emphasis on asana, or the physical performance of yoga postures. Transforming traditional yoga, Krishnamacharya's disciple, Indra Devi (1899-2002), adapted his teachings to Western society. The aim of this Master's thesis is: To analyse the changes that Indra Devi brought to the practice of Krishnamacharya's yoga in the West. In four chapters, the author presents Indra Devi's journey from Riga to India and later to Hollywood, making an incredible contribution to the development and spread of yoga in the world. The author shows the basic principles of Krishnamacharya Yoga to draw conclusions about what exactly Indra Devi is changing in this teaching and perception in general. In the second half of the paper, the author introduces the teachings and principles of Indra Devi's yoga and makes a general comparison between the principles of classical Patanjali yoga and the changes introduced by Krishnamacharya and Indra Devi. Author concludes that modern yoga has adapted to the different needs and preferences of practitioners around the world, from the dynamic and physically demanding Ashtanga and power yoga to the gentle and meditative restorative yoga. In addition to the physical aspects, modern yoga offered by Indra Devi incorporates elements of mindfulness, stress relief and holistic wellness, making it a popular choice for those seeking a harmonious integration of body, mind, and spirit. Indra Devi drew on ideas popular in her time about the human quest for freedom, peace, and well-being. The style in which Indra Devi addresses readers in her book’s introducing yoga is very simplistic and generalized. She deliberately avoids the use of complex terms that might require the reader to delve further into the Hindu religion. Instead, she uses terms and themes that are common in the 20th century. Therefore, it can be concluded that the hypothesis put forward by the author in the introduction of the work - "In order to gain recognition outside India, Indra Devi secularizes the practice of yoga by presenting it as an activity to improve physical well-being, with spirituality playing a secondary role" - has been confirmed. Keywords: yoga, Indra Devi, Krishnamacharya, yoga modernization, physical and mental well-being
