Learning Physical Collaborative Robot Behaviors from Human Demonstrations

Robots are becoming safe and smart enough to work alongside people not only on manufacturing production lines, but also in spaces such as houses, museums or hospitals. This can be significantly exploited in situations where a human needs the help of anothe ...

Towards Mobile Blended Interaction Fostering Critical Thinking

Denis Gillet, Samuel Bendahan, Adrian Christian Holzer, Sten Govaerts

Critical thinking is a fundamental skill that all citizens should have. Unfortunately, while beliefs in unfounded claims are pervasive, teaching critical skill is a strenuous task. Digital mobile interaction could potentially support face-to-face teaching ...

Undergraduate group projects: Challenges and learning experiences

Roland John Tormey, Siara Ruth Isaac

Working in groups and managing projects are important professional skills for engineers, and there is a growing demand to teach and assess such skills. But what should be taught and when? Tuckman’s famous “stages of development of performing groups” provid ...

Teaching an Ethnographic Approach to Requirements Elicitation in an Enterprise Architecture Course

Gil Regev, Alain Wegmann, Julie Lang

Requirements elicitation is an important part of information systems development. It is often performed as a technical task, but from a close look it is mainly a social activity. The main work consists of interacting with stake-holders in order to understa ...

Learning bimanual end-effector poses from demonstrations using task-parameterized dynamical systems

Sylvain Calinon

Very often, when addressing the problem of human-robot skill transfer in task space, only the Cartesian position of the end-effector is encoded by the learning algorithms, instead of the full pose. However, orientation is just as important as position, if ...

Let Your Body Speak: Communicative Cue Extraction on Natural Interaction Using RGBD Data

Daniel Gatica-Perez

Employment interviews are relevant scenarios for the study of social interaction. In this setting, social skills play an important role, even though the interactions between potential employers and candidates are often limited. One fundamental aspect of so ...

Structural Brain Connectivity in School-Age Preterm Infants Provides Evidence for Impaired Networks Relevant for Higher Order Cognitive Skills and Social Cognition

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Elda Fischi Gomez, Patric Hagmann, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, François Lazeyras

Extreme prematurity and pregnancy conditions leading to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) affect thousands of newborns every year and increase their risk for poor higher order cognitive and social skills at school age. However, little is known about t ...

Rich periodic motor skills on humanoid robots: Riding the pedal racer

Auke Ijspeert, Massimo Vespignani, Jesse van den Kieboom, Luc Guyot

Just as their discrete counterparts, periodic or rhythmic dynamic motion primitives allow easily modulated and robust motion generation, but for periodic tasks. In this paper we present an approach for modulating periodic dynamic movement primitives based ...
