Abstract:
A robot and a control method thereof is disclosed. The robot includes a sensor; a motor; and a processor configured to: identify a user based on data obtained through the sensor; identify a position based on a user position of the user and a movement direction of the user, the position being identified from among a plurality of positions located a pre-set distance from the user position; control the motor to move the robot to the position; and obtain gait data corresponding to the user based on the data obtained through the sensor while tracking legs of the user.
Abstract:
An image sensor for simultaneously obtaining an image and a proximity is provided. The image sensor includes a proximity signal generating circuit configured to generate a proximity signal of a target based on a pixel signal of a pixel array. The proximity signal generating circuit generates the proximity signal based on an average of pixel signals output from a plurality of pixels included in the pixel array.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for authenticating a user using a vein pattern are provided that project a near infrared (NIR) ray toward a skin of the user using a light emitting diode (LED), where the user is adjacent to a terminal including the LED. An image sensor receives a light reflected by the skin, generates a vein pattern of the skin based on an image generated using the received light, and authenticates the user as a registered user of a pre-stored vein pattern when the generated vein pattern matches the pre-stored vein pattern.
Abstract:
A portable device for outputting virtual vibration is provided. The portable device includes a controller configured to generate a control signal corresponding to a detected event. The portable device also includes vibrators configured to output virtual vibration based on the control signal.
Abstract:
A user input apparatus and method may measure, using a first sensor, surface input information that is applied to a surface of a user input apparatus, may measure, using a second sensor, orientation information that is input based on a physical quantity associated with a pose or a rotary motion of the user input apparatus, and may generate a content control signal, by combining the surface input information and the orientation information.
Abstract:
A force sensing apparatus and an operating method of the force sensing apparatus may obtain and provide information about a force applied to an object, thereby enabling control of a force to be applied to manipulate the object.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional display device and a user interfacing method therefor are disclosed. The three-dimensional display device according to one embodiment comprises: a display unit for displaying a three-dimensional virtual object; a user input signal generation unit for generating a user input signal by detecting a handling object for handling an operation of the three-dimensional virtual object in a three-dimensional space matched with the three-dimensional virtual object; and a control unit for controlling the operation of the three-dimensional virtual object according to the user input signal.
