The Intelligent Systems and Assistive Technologies Laboratory at the School of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University has an opening for one PhD student. Projects at the laboratory are affiliated with the Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering and offer a rich international environment. The Intelligent Systems and HCI group is interested in the use of human-machine interaction channels, such as vision, audio and physiological signals for healthcare purposes.
Research Topics are:
- Facial and body gestures for HCI handicapped populations.
- Intelligent wheelchair navigation.
- Smart environments for assisted living facilities.
- Collaborative gesture sketching in the operating room
The PhD student will work in a multi-disciplinary framework involving Machine Vision, Pattern Recognition and Signal Processing disciplines. The final outcome is to develop real-time unencumbered non-invasive technologies for disabled populations relying mostly on physiological signals and body language to manage themselves, autonomously. Algorithm-wise this research includes object and body parts recognition and autonomous navigation novel approaches.
