A geometric optimal control approach for imitation and generalization of manipulation skills

Sylvain Calinon, Amirreza Razmjoo Fard, Jie Zhao

Daily manipulation tasks are characterized by regular features associated with the task structure, which can be described by multiple geometric primitives related to actions and object shapes. Only using Cartesian coordinate systems cannot fully represent ...

Jamming joints for stiffness and posture control with an anthropomorphic hand

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Kieran Daniel Gilday

Stiffness control is critical in human manipulation. The ability to transition between a low stiffness state, allowing for compliant interactions with the environment, through to rigid states, where it is possible to exert high forces, enables much functio ...

ManiGaze: a Dataset for Evaluating Remote Gaze Estimator in Object Manipulation Situations

Jean-Marc Odobez, Rémy Alain Siegfried, Bozorgmehr Aminian

Gaze estimation allows robots to better understand users and thus to more precisely meet their needs. In this paper, we are interested in gaze sensing for analyzing collaborative tasks and manipulation behaviors in human-robot interactions (HRI), which dif ...

A Dynamical System Approach for Adaptive Grasping, Navigation and Co-Manipulation with Humanoid Robots

Aude Billard, Mikhail Koptev, Salman Faraji, Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez

In this paper, we present an integrated approach that provides compliant control of an iCub humanoid robot and adaptive reaching, grasping, navigating and co-manipulating capabilities. We use state-dependent dynamical systems (DS) to (i) coordinate and dri ...

Joint entropy-based morphology optimization of soft strain sensor networks for functional robustness

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes

Dense and distributed tactile sensors are critical for robots to achieve human-like manipulation skills. Soft robotic sensors are a potential technological solution to obtain the required high dimensional sensory information unobtrusively. However, the des ...

Towards Understanding of Human Kinematic Coordination Patterns in Bimanual Fine Manipulation Tasks

Aude Billard, Kunpeng Yao, Anaïs Betsabeh Haget

Skills that require the collaboration of both arms are common in humans’ everyday activities, and the coordination of upper limbs is key to human bimanual dexterity. The Skill Acquisition in Humans and Robots (ERC) project aims at obtaining a better unders ...

Learning from demonstration for semi-autonomous teleoperation

Sylvain Calinon

Teleoperation in domains such as deep-sea or space often requires the completion of a set of recurrent tasks. We present a framework that uses a probabilistic approach to learn from demonstration models of manipulation tasks. We show how such a framework c ...

Combined Rehabilitation Promotes the Recovery of Structural and Functional Features of Healthy Neuronal Networks after Stroke

Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai, Francesco Saverio Pavone

Rehabilitation is considered the most effective treatment for promoting the recovery of motor deficits after stroke. One of the most challenging experimental goals is to unambiguously link brain rewiring to motor improvement prompted by rehabilitative ther ...

Automatic extraction of constraints in manipulation tasks for autonomy and interaction

Ana-Lucia Ureche

Tasks routinely executed by humans involve sequences of actions performed with high dexterity and coordination. Fully specifying these actions such that a robot could replicate the task is often difficult. Furthermore the uncertainties introduced by the us ...
