We propose a new approach to solving the problem of intention estimation in human-robot teleoperation for assembly tasks, which includes task estimation and action prediction. Our approach uses probabilistic graphical models to represent the joint distribution of the task and the actions to be taken
In human-robot collaboration, shared control presents an opportunity to teleoperate robotic manipulation to improve the efficiency of manufacturing and assembly processes. Robots are expected to assist in executing the user’s intentions. To this end, robust and prompt intention estimation is needed,…
Dexterous robot hand teleoperation allows for long-range transfer of human manipulation expertise, and could simultaneously provide a way for humans to teach these skills to robots. However, current methods struggle to reproduce the functional workspace of the human hand, often limiting them to simp…
Knowledge of the 6D pose of an object can benefit in-hand object manipulation. Existing 6D pose estimation methods use vision data. In-hand 6D object pose estimation is challenging because of heavy occlusion produced by the robot’s grippers, which can have an adverse effect on methods that rely on v
Tactile sensing is inherently contact based. To use tactile data, robots need to make contact with the surface of an object. This is inefficient in applications where an agent needs to make a decision between multiple alternatives that depend the physical properties of the contact location. We propo…
