Abstract:
Electronic devices may determine tasks of interpreting information sensed by sensors, for example, recognition tasks, and operations to be performed by the electronic devices, for example, control tasks, based on types of connected electronic devices. Information sensed by one of the connected electronic devices may be shared with another electronic device, and the other electronic device may perform an operation based on the shared information. A task of interpreting information sensed by a sensor of one of the connected electronic devices may be performed based on a format suitable for being used by another electronic device. Furthermore, the electronic devices may select an electronic device to perform the determined recognition tasks and the determined control tasks based on resource states of the electronic devices.
Abstract:
Provided is a motion assistance apparatus including a fixing module to be attached to a waist of a user, a driving module provided in the fixing module to provide a torque to assist a motion of the user, a supporting module connected to the driving module to support a portion of a circumference of a leg of the user, and a controller configured to control the driving module to provide a torque to maintain a close contact between the supporting module and the leg of the user while the user is not walking.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for recognizing a gait task, that may detect a gait pattern of a user based on sensed data, generate a gait feature of the gait pattern based on similarities between the gait pattern and similar gait data extracted from each of a plurality of databases, and estimate a gait task corresponding to the gait pattern by applying the gait feature to a desired learning model, may be provided.
Abstract:
