Application Of Fuzzy Narx To Human Gait Modelling And Identification, Seyed Hesami, Fazel Naghdy, David Stirling, Harold Hill Oct 2011

Application Of Fuzzy Narx To Human Gait Modelling And Identification, Seyed Hesami, Fazel Naghdy, David Stirling, Harold Hill

Professor Fazel Naghdy

A new modelling and classification approach for human gait is proposed. Body movements are obtained using a sensor suit recording inertial signals that are subsequently modelled on a humanoid frame with 23 degrees of freedom (DOF). Measured signals include position, velocity, acceleration, orientation, angular velocity and angular acceleration. The identification and modelling method segments the stream of non–linear movement data on the basis of the features extracted from the sensor signals. A model is then created for the movement of every individual. This model is used as a dynamic finger print for that specific individual. In the future stages of …

What Our Ict Graduates Really Need From Us: A Perspective From The Workplace, Tony Koppi, Judy Sheard, Fazel Naghdy, Joe Chicharo, Sylvia Edwards, Wayne Brookes, David Wilson Oct 2011

What Our Ict Graduates Really Need From Us: A Perspective From The Workplace, Tony Koppi, Judy Sheard, Fazel Naghdy, Joe Chicharo, Sylvia Edwards, Wayne Brookes, David Wilson

Professor Fazel Naghdy

A national Discipline-Based Initiative (DBI) project for Information and Communications Technology (ICT), funded by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council, has sought the opinions of recent graduates of ICT in the workplace to help inform the curriculum. An online survey was devised to question graduates on workplace requirements and university preparation for abilities categorized as: personal/interpersonal; cognitive; business and technical. The graduates in employment have highlighted broad mismatches between the requirements of their professional work in these categories and the preparation for employment they received from university. A regression analysis was used to determine influences on graduates' opinions of the …

Haptic Carillon: A Computationally Enhanced Mechanical Performing Instrument, Mark Havryliv, Fazel Naghdy, Greg Schiemer, Timothy Hurd Oct 2011

Haptic Carillon: A Computationally Enhanced Mechanical Performing Instrument, Mark Havryliv, Fazel Naghdy, Greg Schiemer, Timothy Hurd

Professor Fazel Naghdy

This paper describes the development of a haptic device for emulating the sonic and haptic dynamics of a carillon, specifically the National Carillon in Canberra, Australia. The carillon is one of only a few instruments that elicit a sophisticated haptic response from the amateur and professional player alike. Force-feedback varies widely across the range of the instrument and developing an intuition for the heaviness of different bells is a critical part of carillon pedagogy. Unfortunately, rehearsal time available to individual carillonneurs is limited by competition from other carillonneurs and environmental factors like civic noise limits and carillon maintenance schedules. Rehearsal …

Geometric & Haptic Modelling Of Textile Artifacts, Fazel Naghdy, Diana Wood Conroy, Hugh Armitage Oct 2011

Geometric & Haptic Modelling Of Textile Artifacts, Fazel Naghdy, Diana Wood Conroy, Hugh Armitage

Professor Fazel Naghdy

Geometric modelling and haptic rendering of textiles is an area of research in which interest has significantly increased over the last decade. A haptic representation is created by adding the physical properties of an object to its geometric configuration. While research has been conducted into geometric modelling of fabrics, current systems require textile data to be manually entered into the computer simulation by a technician. This study explores the possibility of automatic generation of geometric and haptic models of real world textile samples. The development of a scalable and generic methodology for geometric and haptic modelling of plain weave textiles …

Human-To-Robot Skill Transfer Through Haptic Rendered Environment, Yan Chen, Fazel Naghdy Oct 2011

Human-To-Robot Skill Transfer Through Haptic Rendered Environment, Yan Chen, Fazel Naghdy

Professor Fazel Naghdy

A new paradigm for programming of robotics manipulator is being studied. The teaching of the machine will begin with the necessary skills being demonstrated by the human operator in a virtual environment with tactile sensing (haptics). Position and contact force/torque data generated in the virtual environment combined with a priori knowledge about the task will be used to identify and learn the skills in the newly demonstrated tasks and then to reproduce them in the robotics system. The peg-in-hole insertion problem is used as a case study. The overall concept is described. The methodologies developed to build the virtual environment …

3d Geometric And Haptic Modeling Of Hand-Woven Textile Artifacts, Hooman Shidanshidi, Fazel Naghdy, Golshah Naghdy, Diana Wood Conroy Oct 2011

3d Geometric And Haptic Modeling Of Hand-Woven Textile Artifacts, Hooman Shidanshidi, Fazel Naghdy, Golshah Naghdy, Diana Wood Conroy

Professor Fazel Naghdy

Haptic Modeling of textile has attracted significant interest over the last decade. In spite of extensive research, no generic system has been proposed. The previous work mainly assumes that textile has a 2D planar structure. They also require time-consuming objective measurement of textile propel1ies in mechanicaVphysjcal model constrUction. A novel approach for haptic modeling of textile is proposed to overcome the existing shortcomings. The method is generic, assumes a 3D structure textile artifact, and deploys computational intelligence to estimate textile mechanical and physical properties. The approach is designed primarily for display of textile artifacts in museums. The haptic model is …
