A Case for the Design of Attention and Gesture Systems for Social Robots

Daniel Carnieto Tozadore, Barbara Bruno, Utku Norman, Romain Maure, Erik Alessandro Wengle

The success of social robots, even (or, especially) in use cases as simple as "manning" a booth to promote a product in a shopping mall, depends on their ability of interacting with humans in a timely, effective and enjoyable way. In this paper we present ...

Foot-Interfaces Control and Human-Robot Interaction in Four-Handed Manipulation

Jacob Hernandez Sanchez

Humans have a great capacity to perform complex manipulations. However, there are many tasks for which two hands are not enough, such as in surgery. For such tasks, a dyad of people is required. However, when not used to work together, a dyad collaboration ...

A New Methodological Approach to Analyze Human Roles in Human-Robot Interaction Scenarios

Auke Ijspeert

The influence of robotics in the job market has socio-economic consequences and the inevitable loss of job positions, but in the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) scenarios, where humans and robots work together, new jobs and business models will be created. T ...

Shared Intelligence for Robot Teleoperation via BMI

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Luca Tonin

This article proposes a novel shared intelligence system for brain-machine interface (BMI) teleoperated mobile robots where user's intention and robot's intelligence are concurrent elements equally participating in the decision process. We designed the sys ...

Flexure Variable Stiffness Actuators

Jamie Paik, Mustafa Mete, Frédéric Henri Vaskin Giraud

Series elastic actuators (SEAs) and variable elastic actuators (VSAs) provide shock resistance, energy storage, and stable force control. However, they usually require extra springs, mechanical parts, and transmissions, increasing size, weight, number of m ...

A game-based approach for evaluating and customizing handwriting training using an autonomous social robot

Pierre Dillenbourg, Daniel Carnieto Tozadore, Chenyang Wang, Barbara Bruno

Handwriting learning is a long and complex process that takes about ten years to be fully mastered. Nearly one-third of all children aged 4-12 experiences handwriting difficulties and, sadly, most of them are left to fight them on their own, due to the sca ...

Advancing coordination control of multi-limb robotic tasks: application to bimanual dynamic manipulation and bipedal reactive locomotion

Michael Bosongo Bombile

Bi-manual picking up of objects to toss them on a conveyor belt are dynamic manipulation activities generated daily in the industry. Such repetitive and physically demanding tasks are still done largely by humans for lack of similarly fast, precise, and ro ...
