EMG-Based Analysis of the Upper Limb Motion

Aude Billard, Silvestro Micera, Sahar El Khoury, Iason Batzianoulis

In a human robot interaction scenario, predicting the human motion intention is essential for avoiding inconvenient delays and for a smooth reactivity of the robotic system. In particular, when dealing with hand prosthetic devices, an early estimation of t ...

Head Nod Detection from a Full 3D Model

Jean-Marc Odobez, Yu Yu, Yiqiang Chen

As a non-verbal communication mean, head gestures play an important role in face-to-face conversation and recognizing them is therefore of high value for social behavior analysis or Human Robotic Interactions (HRI) modelling. Among the various gestures, he ...

Distributed Multi-Robot Learning using Particle Swarm Optimization

Ezequiel Leonardo Di Mario

This thesis studies the automatic design and optimization of high-performing robust controllers for mobile robots using exclusively on-board resources. Due to the often large parameter space and noisy performance metrics, this constitutes an expensive opti ...

Performance analysis of jump-gliding locomotion for miniature robotics

Dario Floreano, Mirko Kovac, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

Recent work suggests that jumping locomotion in combination with a gliding phase can be used as an effective mobility principle in robotics. Compared to pure jumping without a gliding phase, the potential benefits of hybrid jump-gliding locomotion includes ...

Combining dynamic head pose-gaze mapping with the robot conversational state for attention recognition in human-robot interactions

Jean-Marc Odobez, Samira Sheikhi

The ability to recognize the visual focus of attention (VFOA, i.e. what or whom a person is looking at) of people is important for robots or conversational agents interacting with multiple people, since it plays a key role in turn-taking, engagement or int ...

A review: Can robots reshape K-12 STEM education?

Francesco Mondada, Séverin Lemaignan, Mohammad Ehsanul Karim

Can robots in classroom reshape K-12 STEM education, and foster new ways of learning? To sketch an answer, this article reviews, side-by-side, existing literature on robot-based learning activities featuring mathematics and physics (purposefully putting as ...
