In the context of robotics, accurate 3D human pose estimation is essential for enhancing human-robot collaboration and interaction. This manuscript introduces a multi-view 2D to 3D lifting optimization-based method designed for video-based 3D human pose estimation, incorporating temporal information…
Reinforcement Learning from Demonstrations (RLfD) has emerged as an effective method by fusing expert demonstrations into Reinforcement Learning (RL) training, harnessing the strengths of both Imitation Learning (IL) and RL. However, existing algorithms rely on offline demonstrations, which can intr…
Visual sensor modalities dominate traditional robot calibration, but when environment contacts are relevant, the tactile modality can provide another natural, accurate, and highly relevant modality. Most existing tactile sensing methods for robot calibration are constrained to specific sensor-object…
Object representation is one of the most challenging tasks in robotics because it must provide reliable information in real-time to enable the robot to physically interact with the objects in its environment. To ensure reliability, a global object descriptor must be computed based on a unique and re…
In open-ended domains, robots must continuously learn new object categories. When the training sets are created offline, it is not possible to ensure their representativeness with respect to the object categories and features the system will find when operating online. In the Bag of Words model, vis…
