Eclipse researchers with UMB research (Dr. Sandy McCombe-Waller) were recently featured in a video developed by Microsoft Research. The video showcases Banerjee, Robucci, and UMB professor Sandra McCombe Waller, as they discuss the application of Microsoft’s Lab of Things to the team’s wearable sensing system project.
Our group has developed a novel proximity sensor-based system that analyzes driver movements and infers whether he/she is distracted or driving dangerously. The key novelity of our approach is that our sensors are built into head-gears, dashboards, and door mats inside vehicles and can non-intrusively detect dangerous and distracted driving using our novel signal processing algorithm. Our goal is to build these sensors into fleet vehicles.
Nilanjan Banerjee was interviewed at the Microsoft Faculty Summit on his work on wearable sensors for gesture recognition in paralaysis patients.
