To equip computers with human communication skills and to enable natural interaction between the computer and a human, intelligent solutions are required based on artificial intelligence (AI) methods, algorithms, and sensor technology. This study aimed at identifying and analyzing the state-of-the-art AI methods and algorithms and sensors technology in existing human-computer intelligent interaction (HCII) research to explore trends in HCII research, categorize existing evidence, and identify potential directions for future research. We conduct a systematic mapping study of the HCII body of research.

Advancements in protocols, computing paradigms, and electronics have enabled the development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with high potential for various location-based applications in different fields. One of the most important topics in WSNs is the localization in environments with sensor nodes being scattered randomly over a region. Localization techniques are often challenged by localization latency, efficient energy consumption, accuracy, environmental factors, and others.

Standard computer input devices such as a mouse or a keyboard are not well suited to the needs of users with severe motor disabilities in their interaction with standard computer interfaces. The emergence of contemporary human computer interfaces has allowed for the development of innovative solutions for hands-free Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), which can improve the quality and accessibility of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for motor-impaired users. The objectives of this study were to design, develop and evaluate a solution for a hands-free HCI, based on the Emotiv EPOC+ device, which, among other capabilities, also enables controlling the computer with facial expressions and motion sensors.
