Human behavior recognition for cooking support robot

The recent development in information technology is making electrical household appliances computerized and networked. If the environment surrounding us could recognize our activities indirectly by sensors, novel services, which respect our activities, can be possible. In this paper, we propose a human activity recognition system, which infers the next human action by taking into account past human behavior, observed so far. We also developed a cooking support robot, which suggests what the human should do next, by voice and gesture.
