Efficient Prediction of Dense Visual Embeddings via Distillation and RGB-D Transformers

IROS 2025

In domestic environments, robots require a comprehensive understanding of their surroundings to interact effectively and intuitively with untrained humans. In this paper, we propose DVEFormer – an efficient RGB-D Transformer-based approach that predicts dense text-aligned visual embeddings (DVE) via

ATTACH Dataset: Annotated Two-Handed Assembly Actions for Human Action Understanding

ICRA 2023poster

With the emergence of collaborative robots (cobots), human-robot collaboration in industrial manufacturing is coming into focus. For a cobot to act autonomously and as an assistant, it must understand human actions during assembly. To effectively train models for this task, a dataset containing suit…
