Achieving dexterous robotic grasping with multi-fingered hands remains a significant challenge. While existing methods rely on complete 3D scans to predict grasp poses, these approaches face limitations due to the difficulty of acquiring high-quality 3D data in real-world scenarios. In this paper, w
Shape completion networks have been used recently in real-world robotic experiments to complete the missing/hidden information in environments where objects are only observed in one or few instances where self-occlusions are bound to occur. Nowadays, most approaches rely on deep neural networks that
Implicit communication plays such a crucial role during social exchanges that it must be considered for a good experience in human-robot interaction. This work addresses implicit communication associated with the detection of physical properties, transport, and manipulation of objects. We propose an…
For collaborative tasks, involving handovers, humans are able to exploit visual, non-verbal cues, to infer physical object properties, like mass, to modulate their actions. In this paper, we investigate how the different levels of liquid inside a cup can be inferred from the observation of the movem…
Human interaction involves very sophisticated non-verbal communication skills like understanding the goals and actions of others and coordinating our own actions accordingly. Neuroscience refers to this mechanism as motor resonance, in the sense that the perception of another persons actions and sen…
The real-time estimation through vision of the physical properties of objects manipulated by humans is important to inform the control of robots for performing accurate and safe grasps of objects handed over by humans. However, estimating the 3D pose and dimensions of previously unseen objects using
Humans have the fascinating capacity of processing nonverbal visual cues to understand and anticipate the actions of other humans. This “intention reading” ability is underpinned by shared motor repertoires and action models, which we use to interpret the intentions of others as if they were our own
