Technical seminar: Human Machine Interfaces Design

You are cordially invited to the following talk.

Title: Human Machine Interfaces Design

Venue: SA228, FES, UTAR KL Campus.

Time: 3-4pm, Nov 22, 2010

Abstract

The research frontier of human machine interaction is pushed forward by inventions and integrations of robotics and medical electronics. The body movements of desktop robots are used to enhance online conversations of instant messaging. They are sociable human machine interface that bridges the virtual world and humans in an intuitive and humane manner. ECG is a bio-signal interface between human body and computer. The appearance of highly integrated ECG frontends will soon make it wearable and ubiquitous like mobile phones. Besides serious medical application, ECG can be applied to instant messaging, emotion regulation, and traffic safety.

About Speaker

Dr Xing Shusong has been with the School of Software, Nankai University in Tianjin, China from 2005. He obtained the PhD degree from Nanyang technological University, Singapore. His research interests are in human-robot interaction, human machine interfacing devices, embedded system design, and visualization. He has published more than ten papers and patents. He is the supervisor of Eling Student Society in Nankai University. His students have been the winners of a series of innovation competitions including Microsoft ImageCup.
