This paper tackles the challenges of automating battery removal from small electronic devices, such as heat cost allocators and smoke detectors. The process is critical for mitigating fire hazards caused by lithium batteries in recycling facilities and for supporting a circular economy. We focus on …
Path planning is important for robot action execution, since a path or a motion trajectory for a particular action has to be defined first before the action can be executed. Most of the current approaches are iterative methods where the trajectory is generated by predicting the next state based on t…
Human-robot interaction strongly benefits from fast, predictive action recognition. For us this is relatively easy but difficult for a robot. To address this problem, here we present a novel prediction algorithm for manipulation action classes in video sequences. Manipulations are first represented…
Recognition of human manipulation actions together with the analysis and execution by a robot is an important issue. Also, perception of spatial relationships between objects is central to understanding the meaning of manipulation actions. Here we would like to merge these two notions and analyze ma…
