EM Package: Augmenting Robotic Intimate Space Interaction Using EM Field Fluctuation Sensing
Pages 2061 - 2066
Abstract
While seamless switching between the accompanying and handling modes for an outdoor personal robot is required, a lack of sensors that can robustly detect the proximity and touch of the user has hindered its practical development. In this study, a novel sensing technology using electromagnetic field fluctuation is presented. The experiment, using a suitcase with the sensor, showed that the area surrounding the user, as well as the direct touch of the user can be separately detected.

Sensor synaesthesia: touch in motion, and motion in touch
CHI '11: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe explore techniques for hand-held devices that leverage the multimodal combination of touch and motion. Hybrid touch + motion gestures exhibit interaction properties that combine the strengths of multi-touch with those of motion-sensing. This affords ...
