ABSTRACT
We present a novel rotation based method for detecting where a mobile device is worn on a user's body that utilizes the fusion of the data from accelerometer and gyroscope. Detecting the position of a mobile device could improve the performance of on-body sensor based human activity recognition and the adaptability of many mobile applications. In our method, the radius and angular velocity for a position is calculated based on the data read from the sensors integrated in a mobile device. We have evaluated our method with an experiment to detect four commonly used positions: breast pocket, trouser pocket, hip pocket and hand.

A method for tracking on-body sensor positions utilizing prior knowledge
UbiComp '14 Adjunct: Proceedings of the 2014 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing: Adjunct PublicationIn this research, we aim at estimating the positions and directions of on-body mobile devices such as smartphones with accelerometers and gyroscopes. We propose a method utilizing prior knowledge of positions and directions of sensors. We model the ...
Whole-body walking pattern using pelvis-rotation for long stride and arm swing for yaw angular momentum compensation
2020 IEEE-RAS 20th International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids)A long stride can enable a humanoid robot achieve fast and stable walking. For a long stride, the kinematics of the robot should be fully utilized, and walking with pelvic rotation can be a solution. A rotational trajectory of pelvis considering kinematic ...
