Human-Centered Robot Vision and Artificial Perception

Human-centered robot vision and artificial perception is a key technology in the field of robotics. It has attracted great attention worldwide in recent years for its human-centered and interactive performance. The human-centered robot vision and artificial perception mainly includes: hand gesture visual perception and interaction, body action visual perception and interaction, gaze orientation visual perception and interaction, facial expression visual perception and interaction, and human-object interaction visual perception. These technologies can be widely used in virtual reality, driver monitoring system, visual diagnosis of autistic patients, human-robot interaction, and Metaverse. Driven by deep learning and big data, the human-centered robot vision and artificial perception has made great progress in both theory and application. This Research Topic will bring together researchers, industry experts, practitioners and potential citizen scientists who are interested in cultivating specialized and important aspects of data science and analytics in the context of human-centered robot vision and artificial perception.

This Research Topic aims to address the application of computer vision and robotics in human-centered perception. On the one hand, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, such as deep learning and its wide application in computer vision, human-centered robot vision and artificial perception has also developed rapidly. It is mainly based on hand, body, eye and facial expressions (interacted objects has also made great progress). On the other hand, with the outbreak of the COVID-19, human-centered robot vision and artificial perception has been used more and more in various fields, such as aerospace, home care, medical rehabilitation, epidemic prevention and control, due to its non-contact performance. We hope to collect the state-of-the-art human-centered robot vision and artificial perception researches and their applications in various fields through this research topic.

This Research Topic is to attract high-quality original research and review articles that report on the fundamental and experimental aspects of human-centered robot vision and artificial perception:
• Hand gesture-based visual perception and interaction
• Body action-based visual perception and interaction
• Gaze orientation-based visual perception and interaction
• Facial expression-based visual perception and interaction
• Multimodal perception-based visual perception and interaction
• Human-object interaction perception methods
Research dealing with human-centered robot vision and artificial perception application researches are encouraged:
• Human-centered robot vision and artificial perception in virtual reality
• Aerospace
• Home care
• Medical rehabilitation
• Epidemic prevention and control
Review articles that describe the state of the art in topics related to certain aspects of human-centered robot vision and artificial perception technologies are particularly welcome.
