programming and their understanding from their surrounding has become a priority. In particular, there is a_x000D_
strong demand for robotic systems in various fields including telepresence, security and health monitoring that_x000D_
have become very popular in many industrial and commercial applications. Majority of the previous_x000D_
approaches, developed many years ago, are designed for an environment under various limitations and are not_x000D_
applicable to commercial products. Besides they have been mainly devised for laboratory conditions or_x000D_
controlled challenges such as Amazon grand challenge._x000D_
A major challenge of the industry is to develop fast and robust understanding of the objects or bodies in the_x000D_
environment seen by the robot and estimate their 3D poses accurately. Crosswing is pursuing the goal to_x000D_
empower family, friends, shoppers, travelers, doctors, clinicians, security and office staff to reach out to others_x000D_
by coupling leading media devices with semi-autonomous motion systems, through its patented virtualMETM_x000D_
IPR platform. As a result, they plan to meet the challenge of delivering low cost, yet real-world functionality in_x000D_
fields spanning from health care to personal security. Development and integration of the proposed pose_x000D_
estimation method will expand the company's market and competitiveness. In addition to the benefits to the_x000D_
company, the proposed work will create training and job opportunities for the graduate students and_x000D_
postdoctoral fellows engaged in this project and/or its continuation., program purpose french : With increasing interest in the applications of human and robot interactions, the need for easy robot_x000D_
