the approach extends control principles of standard building automation. Introducing control commands based on information from 3D head pose estimation and tracking systems, new methods in communication and contactless controlled systems are made accomplishable. Using a visual user-interface, visually detected movements can be transformed into standard control commands. Using a defined markup language, an application dependent command set is correlated with actual head movements. the mapping itself can be adapted to application dependent demands and the individual needs of the users. the concept of “visual control” is intended to be a further step towards bridging the information gap between (physically challenged) people and their smart environments. the concept is applied to a prototype used in different settings of a building automation, utilising cutting-edge software with standard control devices and sensors.

the use of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) as robots for exploration and oceanology science has been a field of interest of several universities and research center's around the world in the last decade. Cuba being a country surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, having most of it's resources in it. Researchers from the Central University of Las Villas (UCLV) and the Hydrographic Research Center (HRC) have joined forces in the development of the HRC-AUV project, whit the objective of the implementation of a AUV capable to operate in the Cuban sea for exploration and supervision. the platform is based on low cost sensors and hardware. In the present document the hardware and software architectures of the AUV are presented. Also a set of experimental results are presented to validate the system.

Graph rewriting-based model transformation is a well known technique with strong mathematical background to process domain specific models represented as graphs. the performance optimization techniques realized in today's graph transformation engines usually place focus on the optimization of a single execution of the individual rules, and do not consider the optimization possibilities in the repeated execution. In this paper we present a performance optimization technique called deep exhaustive matching for exhaustively executed rules. Deep exhaustive matching continues the matching of the same rule from the next possible position after a successful rewriting phase, thus we can achieve noticeable performance gain.

Robots for elderly have drawn a great deal of attention as it is a controversial topic being pushed forward by the fact that there will be a dramatic increase of elderly in most western countries. Within the field of HRI, much research has been conducted on robots interacting with elderly and also a number of commercial products have been introduced to the market. Since 2006, a number of projects have been launched in Denmark in order to evaluate robot technology in practice in elder care. this paper gives an brief overview of a selected number of projects and outlines the characteristics and results. Finally it is discussed how HRI can benefit from these.

this video shows the basic functions of HFAMRO-2 equipped withthe step-on interface (SOI). In the SOI the projected screen is used as a bilateral interface. It not only presents information from the equipment to the user but also delivers the instructions from the user to the equipment. HFAMRO is intended to represent the concept based on which robots interact with users. It assumes, for example, the ability to play `tag' - in this case, playing tag with light, similar to `shadow' tag. the HFAMRO-2 mobile robot, developed to study the SOI's application with mobility, has two sets of the SOI consisting of a projector and a range scanner on a mobile platform. the projector displays a direction screen on a travel surface and the two-dimensional range scanner detects and measures the user's stepping to specify the selected button.

In this paper a system, which is driven through natural language, that allows operators to select and manipulate objects in the environment using an industrial robot is proposed. In order to hide the complexities of robot programming we propose a natural language where the user can control and jog the robot based on reference objects in the scene. We used semantic networks to relate different types of objects in the scene.

As the support is increasing for textual domain-specific languages (DSL), the reconstruction of visual models from the generated textual artifacts has also come into focus. the state-of-the-art bidirectional approaches support reversible text generation from models using single syntax mapping. However, even these tools have not gone such far to facilitate the synchronization between models and generated artifacts. this paper presents the importance of synchronization and how these mappings can enable syntactic reconciliation for custom DSLs. Our approach provides algorithms for supporting incremental DSL-driven software development, which enables the freedom of choosing between the textual or visual editing of artifacts. It depends on the developer which representation is more effective for her/him at a specific moment.
