Locating and identifying objects in vision-denied environments is a critical challenge for intelligent robot systems. To address the limitation of vision, we present a tactile-only method for object search and recognition using custom tactile skin sensors on robot hands. The method involves searchin…
This paper introduces a novel framework for improving human-to-robot manipulability transfer and tracking in Learning by Demonstration. Our approach addresses key challenges, including manipulability ellipsoid (ME) domain adaptation between different kinematic structures, ME-IK feasibility checks an
Accurate temporal segmentation of human actions is critical for intelligent robots in collaborative settings, where a precise understanding of sub-activity labels and their temporal structure is essential. However, the inherent noise in both human pose estimation and object detection often leads to
Current methods for human-object interaction segmentation excel in closed-world settings but struggle to generalize to open-world scenarios where novel actions emerge. Since collecting exhaustive training data for all possible dynamic human activities is impractical, a model capable of detecting and
In recent years, Action Detection has become an active research topic in various fields such as human-robot interaction and assistive robots. Most of the previous methods in this field focus on temporally processing the action representation, without considering the dependencies among the action cla…
Human activities recognition is an important task for an intelligent robot, especially in the field of human-robot collaboration, it requires not only the label of sub-activities but also the temporal structure of the activity. In order to automatically recognize both the label and the temporal stru…
The need for comprehensive telemedicine solutions is becoming increasingly relevant due to challenges associated with the ageing population, the increasing shortage of health-care providers, and, more recently, the global pandemic. Existing solutions primarily focus on, e.g., electronic medical reco…
Social recommendation task aims to predict users' preferences over items with the incorporation of social connections among users, so as to alleviate the sparse issue of collaborative filtering. While many recent efforts show the effectiveness of neural network-based social recommender systems, seve…
This paper proposes a novel dictionary learning approach to detect event anomalities using skeletal information extracted from RGBD video. The event action is represented as several latent action atoms and composed of latent spatial and temporal attributes. We aim to construct a network able to lear…
