Learning object models in the wild from natural human interactions is an essential ability for robots to perform general tasks. In this paper we present a robocentric multimodal dataset addressing this key challenge. Our dataset focuses on interactions where the user teaches new objects to the robot…
In human-robot collaboration the robot's behavior impacts the worker's safety, comfort and acceptance of the robotic system. In this paper we address the problem of how to improve the worker's posture during human-robot collaboration. Using postural assessment techniques, and a personalized human ki…
In human-robot collaboration, multi-agent domains, or single-robot manipulation with multiple end-effectors, the activities of the involved parties are naturally concurrent. Such domains are also naturally relational as they involve objects, multiple agents, and models should generalize over objects
This paper presents a novel approach for robot instruction for assembly tasks. We consider that robot programming can be made more efficient, precise and intuitive if we leverage the advantages of complementary approaches such as learning from demonstration, learning from feedback and knowledge tran…
We consider the problem of learning from complex sequential demonstrations. We propose to analyze demonstrations in terms of the concurrent interaction phases which arise between pairs of involved bodies (hand-object and object-object). These interaction phases are the key to decompose a full demons…
