In this paper we introduce a novel technique that aims to control a two-module bio-inspired soft-robotic arm in order to qualitatively reproduce human demonstrations. The main idea behind the proposed methodology is based on the assumption that a complex trajectory can be derived from the compositio…
In this paper we introduce a novel technique that aims to dynamically control a two-module bio-inspired soft-robotic arm in order to qualitatively reproduce a path defined by sparse way-points. The main idea behind this work is based on the assumption that a complex trajectory may be derived as a co…
In this paper we introduce a novel technique that aims to dynamically control a modular bio-inspired soft-robotic arm in order to perform cyclic rhythmic patterns. Oscillatory signals are produced at the actuator's level by a central pattern generator (CPG), resulting in the generation of a periodic…
In this work, we tackle the problem of child engagement estimation while children freely interact with a robot in a friendly, room-like environment. We propose a deep learning-based multi-view solution that takes advantage of recent developments in human pose detection. We extract the child's pose f…
