This paper presents an experiment in which the iCub humanoid robot learns to recognize faces through proprioceptive information. We take inspiration in the way blind people recognize people's faces, i.e. through tactile exploration of the person's face. Th ...
We present an algorithm enabling a humanoid robot to visually learn its body schema, knowing only the number of degrees of freedom in each limb. By “body schema” we mean the joint positions and orientations and thus the kinematic function. The learning is ...
Locomotion on an irregular surface is a challenging task in robotics. Among different problems to solve to obtain robust locomotion, visually guided locomotion and accurate foot placement are of crucial importance. Robust controllers able to adapt to senso ...
We present an approach to teach incrementally human gestures to a humanoid robot. The learning process consists of first projecting the movement data in a latent space and encoding the resulting signals in a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). We compare the per ...
Despite many efforts, balance control of humanoid robots in the presence of unforeseen external or internal forces has remained an unsolved problem. The difficulty of this problem is a consequence of the high dimensionality of the action space of a humanoi ...
In this paper we combine kinesthetic demonstrations and dynamical systems to enable a humanoid robot to imitate constrained reaching gestures directed toward a target. Using a learning algorithm based on Gaussian Mixture Regression, the task constraints ar ...
Given a corpus of news items consisting of images accompanied by text captions, we want to find out “who’s doing what”, i.e. associate names and action verbs in the captions to the face and body pose of the persons in the images. We present a joint model f ...
Our work aims at developing a robust discriminant controller for robot programming by demonstration. It addresses two core issues of imitation learning, namely "what to imitate" and "how to imitate". This paper presents a method by which a robot extracts t ...
Bringing robots as collaborative partners into homes presents various challenges to human-robot interaction. Robots will need to interact with untrained users in environments that are originally designed for humans. Compared to their industrial homologous ...
We present a generic framework that combines Dynamical Systems movement control with Programming by Demon- stration (PbD) to teach a robot bimanual coordination task. The model consists of two systems: a learning system that processes data collected during ...
