A Multitask and Kernel Approach for Learning to Push Objects with a Target-Parameterized Deep Q-Network

IROS 2023poster

Pushing is an essential motor skill involved in several manipulation tasks, and has been an important research topic in robotics. Recent works have shown that Deep Q-Networks (DQNs) can learn pushing policies (when, where to push, and how) to solve manipulation tasks, potentially in synergy with oth…

Residual Pose: A Decoupled Approach for Depth-based 3D Human Pose Estimation

IROS 2020poster

We propose to leverage recent advances in reliable 2D pose estimation with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to estimate the 3D pose of people from depth images in multi-person Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) scenarios. Our method is based on the observation that using the depth information to obtai…

Real-time Convolutional Networks for Depth-based Human Pose Estimation

IROS 2018poster

We propose to combine recent Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) models with depth imaging to obtain a reliable and fast multi-person pose estimation algorithm applicable to Human Robot Interaction (HRI) scenarios. Our hypothesis is that depth images contain less structures and are easier to process…
