The rise of diverse digital environments like digital twins and the metaverse emphasizes the importance of telepresence methods for linking users across different spaces. These methods aim to boost communication and services between these spaces. This paper introduces RHS360, a 360-degree robot hand system designed for inter-spatial communication. RHS360 ensures the robot hand aligns precisely with the user in cyberspace, adjusting based on the user's movements in the virtual realm. This enables the robot hand not only to aid communication and gestures but also to convey crucial social cues, enhancing the overall communication experience. Additionally, a user survey was conducted, revealing that observing the robot hand's movements significantly improved understanding their partner's thoughts and fostered a greater sense of intimacy. These findings suggest that the proposed method enhances communication between different spaces.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in 2020, has changed people’s lives, and people are shopping more online. While the analysis of online shopping is becoming increasingly important, regional differences in consumption trends exist. This study proposes a data-driven regional modeling method based on EC purchase data to examine the regional characteristics of online shopping purchase trends. Using the proposed method, we quantified and visualized the degree of similarity of consumption trends among regions and the degree of dispersion of consumption trends within regions using approximately 300,000 lines of online shopping history for 3 years in Japan. As a result, we found that there was some disruption in the early stages of e-commerce for food products by region, while there was little difference in consumption trends among regions for daily necessities. In addition, for consumer durables and clothing, regional differences in consumption trends were confirmed in terms of the number of cars owned per capita, urbanization status, and other regional characteristics.

Crowd flow forecasting is expected to have a wide range of applications such as human resource allocation, guidance design, marketing, disaster mitigation and congestion prediction for avoiding epidemic such as COVID-19. Crowd flow forecasting is challenging because it requires considering both the task of capturing the temporal dependency of data and capturing the spatial dependence. To address these challenges, in this paper, we propose a mechanism for referencing time-series features that are important for forecasting and incorporating graph convolution into Transformer, and we introduce CrowdFlowTransformer(CF-Transformer), a deep learning model based on Google's Transformer framework captures the Spatio-temporal dependency of time series. CF-Transformer captures the time series dependency by extracting important local time series from the past time series, inputting them to the decoder of Transformer, and encoding critical features into the model's input. We adapted CF-Transformer to a real-world crowd flow dataset. We evaluated it by comparing its forecasting accuracy with conventional models, and the results demonstrate that our model outperforms the conventional models.

The manual creation of a ceiling plan consumes many human resources to confirm the current state of existing buildings for the renovation. Especially the positions and the types of existing fixtures are important. In this paper, we propose a synthesis method for a panoramic ceiling image using a video shot by an omnidirectional camera. We utilize a Visual SLAM method to map the positions of omnidirectional video frames including the ceiling. We prioritize the clear depiction of fixture outlines for easier identification of the types of ceiling fixtures. To draw clear fixture outlines in the resulting image, each fixture is referred from the single video frame that captures it most clearly. In the experiment, we collected an omnidirectional video in the indoor area of approximately 273 square meters with multiple rooms. We evaluated the synthesized image for positional accuracy of the ceiling fixtures, and our proposed method demonstrated higher accuracy compared to the baseline.

This study explores the feasibility of dialogue systems with individuality capable of providing continuous and lasting assistance via a multiple device dialogue system. A framework has been devised to manage dialogue history, allowing for the use of a singular identity across various interfaces, including chatbots and virtual avatars. This framework can summarize and save the dialogue history, which can be utilized to generate responses. The impact of dialogue history sharing on users’ interactions with a particular character across various devices was assessed for naturalness, continuity, and reliability. The results indicate that dialogue history sharing can foster more natural and continuous conversations, thereby enhancing the potential for long-term support. This research advances the proposition that a digital agent endowed with a consistent identity across multiple devices can provide personalized and sustained support to users.

In distribution warehouses, various forms of data transformation are underway, such as the conversion of data related to receiving and inventory management. Distribution warehouses have designated areas known as truck berths, where trucks are parked for loading/unloading. While data collection is expected to enhance work efficiency at these truck berths, there is no data regarding the status of work in progress in the unloading space, and no system is in place to analyze the work. Consequently, it is unclear which tasks are problematic and how to enhance efficiency. To address this issue, this paper proposes a framework for analyzing the loading/unloading situation at truck berths with the objective of enhancing berth utilization efficiency and work efficiency. Specifically, we employed a fixed camera for object detection through instance segmentation. This approach enables us to understand the situation of trucks, unloading spaces, and workers. The training data were annotated using a large amount of real-world data, allowing for the measurement and analysis of the efficiency of loading/unloading operations. By calculating the amount of cargo based on the floor space, we assessed the efficiency of unloading operations per truck. Through the analysis of both efficient and inefficient operations, insights for enhancing work efficiency were provided.

This study tackles heading estimation for Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) with smartphones. In dealing with changes in the holding posture of smartphones, it works to consider the relationship between sensor orientation and heading. However, the existing methods lack robustness to various gaits, such as sideways and backward walking. Therefore, we propose a novel method considering various spatiotemporal features of horizontal acceleration with deep learning. The proposed method calculates horizontal acceleration in the global coordinate system from measured acceleration, gravitational acceleration, and rotation vector. Then, it inputs the horizontal acceleration over a certain period into a deep neural network model and predicts the unit vector directed to the mean heading during that period. We created a dataset covering multiple gaits and evaluated the method using four models: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM), DualCNN-LSTM, and DualCNN-Transformer. Consequently, we found that the proposed method was more robust to gaits than the existing methods, with the DualCNN-LSTM and DualCNN-Transformer models achieving the highest accuracy.

This research proposes a communication system called Mobility Link XR that connects physical space and cyberspace with mobility. Mobility Link XR is a system that enables remote users to view panoramic video from a 360-degree camera attached to a mobility vehicle in different space by wearing a VR device, and mobility users to view the remote user as an avatar by wearing an MR device. In this way, sharing space in three dimensions using XR enables a higher level of human communication. In this paper, we apply Mobility Link XR to an electric wheelchair and design two types of scenarios: an assistance mode that reproduces the positional relationship of communication in a conventional wheelchair, and a passenger mode that reproduces the positional relationship inside a vehicle, which is said to be a suitable distance for conversation. We also evaluated the reproducibility of communication in the wheelchair and the effectiveness of communication using the avatar. The results showed that the reproducibility of voice and emotion was highly evaluated and that the side-by-side positional relationship enabled higher quality communication as the avatar was more easily seen and felt present.

Emotions are essential for constructing social relationships between humans and interactive systems. Although emotional and empathetic dialogue generation methods have been proposed for dialogue systems, appropriate dialogue involves not only mirroring emotions and always being empathetic but also complex factors such as context. This paper proposes Emotion Regulation Chat (ER-Chat) as an end-to-end dialogue framework for emotion regulation. Emotion regulation is concerned with actions to approach appropriate emotional states. Learning appropriate emotion and intent when responding on the basis of the context of the dialogue enables the generation of more human-like dialogue. We conducted automatic and human evaluations to demonstrate the superiority of ER-Chat over the baseline system. The results show that inclusion of emotion and intent prediction mechanisms enable generation of dialogues with greater fluency, diversity, emotion awareness, and emotion appropriateness, which are greatly preferred by humans.

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), including delivery robots, security robots, and automated wheelchairs, are very promising for improving the quality of life, safety, mobility, and productivity. To deploy such sensor-rich AMRs in real-world society, we have to resolve not only technical challenges but also ethical and societal issues. In addition, since multiple companies are developing different types of AMRs individually, we have to design and develop practical platform to enable safe cooperation and collaboration before using them in the society. Hence, in this letter, we present a viable Nagoya Experimental Site and Testbed named <italic>RobotNEST</italic> developed at Nagoya City, Japan, where we leverage vehicular communications and edge/cloud computing technologies to develop cooperative mobile robots. RobotNEST provides real-world AMRs, experimental fields, learning kits, and infrastructural sensors and communications, including 5G private networks. We also introduce multiple developed applications at RobotNEST that enable safe cooperation for autonomous robots. Finally, we discuss the scalability and limitations of the testbed and conclude with future research directions.

The implementation of wearable airbags to prevent fall injuries depends on accurate pre-impact fall detection and a clear distinction between activities of daily living (ADL) and them. We propose a novel pre-impact fall detection algorithm that is robust against ambiguous falling activities. We present a data-driven approach to estimate the fall risk from acceleration and angular velocity features and use thresholding techniques to robustly detect a fall before impact. In the experiment, we collect simulated fall data from subjects wearing an inertial sensor on their waist. As a result, we succeeded in significantly improving the accuracy of fall detection from 50.00 to 96.88%, the recall from 18.75 to 93.75%, and the specificity 81.25 to 100.00% over the baseline method.
