Event overview
On the "Analysis, modeling and gesture recognition for interaction with machines" by Dr. Sotiris Manitsaris, senior researcher in the Centre for Robotics of MINES ParisTech, France.
The presentation tries to answer the question «Are machines able to recognize and interpret gestural patterns in order to act for the human's advantage?». A human-centered engineering methodology for the modeling and gesture recognition can be applied in the interaction with machines and sensori-motor learning of know-how. A number of prototype systems from the field of robotics, transmission of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, music and medicine illustrate the above methodology.
Short-bio:
Dr. Sotiris Manitsaris is a senior researcher in the Centre for Robotics of MINES ParisTech. In the previous years, he has been guest researcher at the IRCAM (France) in the Real-Time Musical Interactions team. He has a university degree in applied mathematics in computer science, a master degree in remote sensing and a doctoral thesis in computer vision for the finger gesture analysis and recognition.
His postdoctoral research was on visual-speech recognition and synthesis based on vocal tract imaging. He is current field of research is capturing and modelling the intangible in gestural performance through human-centered engineering in order to augment human capabilities in interaction with machines and sensorimotor learning. His research is applied in robotics, music, Intangible Cultural Heritage and medicine.
