Comprehensive Interactive Soft Interfaces for Wearable Tactile Feedback
As the field of robotics continues to grow outside the manufacturing environment into our daily lives, the interactions between humans and robots are increasingly becoming close and dynamic. This type of environment requires robots to be less rigid, multi- ...
EPFL2021Design of Hesitation Gestures for Nonverbal Human-Robot Negotiation of Conflicts
When the question of who should get access to a communal resource first is uncertain, people often negotiate via nonverbal communication to resolve the conflict. What should a robot be programmed to do when such conflicts arise in Human-Robot Interaction? ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2021Towards the alignment of educational robotics learning systems with classroom activities
The technological advances of the past years have impressively demonstrated that the digital age is no longer just a science fiction vision of the future - we are in the midst of it. The digital transformation is affecting many areas of our lives, includin ...
EPFL2020Robot skills learning with Riemannian manifolds: Leveraging geometry-awareness in robot learning, optimization and control
Noémie Laure Gwendoline Jaquier
Humans exhibit outstanding learning and adaptation capabilities while performing various types of manipulation tasks. When learning new skills, humans are able to extract important information by observing examples of a task and efficiently refine a priori ...
EPFL2020A Dexterous Soft Robotic Hand for Delicate In-Hand Manipulation
In this letter, we show that soft robotic hands provide a robust means of performing basic primitives of in-hand manipulation in the presence of uncertainty. We first discuss the design of a prototype hand with dexterous soft fingers capable of moving obje ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2020Learning (Good Handwriting In Greek) By Teaching (A Humanoid Robot)
Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Thanasis Hadzilacos
We report on a follow-up study of the Co-Writer project at EPFL [1]; we confirm their findings, extend the applicability to another language with a different alphabet (Greek) and go into an in-depth qualitative study of the child-robot relationship. The co ...
IATED-INT ASSOC TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION & DEVELOPMENT2020CoWriting Kazakh: Learning a New Script with a Robot
Pierre Dillenbourg, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal
In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the transition from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet raises challenges to training an entire population in writing the new script. This paper presents a CoWriting Kazakh system, an extension of the existing CoWriter system, aiming ...
Association for Computing Machinery2020Soft and stretchable liquid metal transmission lines as distributed probes of multimodal deformations
Fabien Sorin, Andreas Leber, Chaoqun Dong, Nicola Bartolomei, Rajasundar Chandran
Mechanical sensing represents a key functionality in soft electronics for applications in health monitoring, human–machine interaction, or soft robotics. Current approaches typically rely on intricate networks of sensors specific to one type of deformation ...
2020Reconfigurable and Latchable Shape‐Morphing Dielectric Elastomers Based on Local Stiffness Modulation
Programmable soft materials exhibiting dynamically reconfigurable, reversible, fast, and latchable shape transformation are key for applications ranging from wearable tactile actuators to deployable soft robots. Multimorph soft actuator sheets with high lo ...
2020A 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 ...
