A major challenge to deploying robots widely is navigation in human-populated environments, commonly referred to as social robot navigation. While the field of social navigation has advanced tremendously in recent years, the fair evaluation of algorithms t ...

Photorealistic synthetic data and novel rendering techniques significantly advanced computer vision research. However, datasets focused on computer vision applications cannot be easily applied to robotics because they typically lack physics-related informa ...

Jointly estimating hand and object shape facilitates the grasping task in human-to-robot handovers. Relying on handcrafted prior knowledge about the geometric structure of the object fails when generalising to unseen objects, and depth sensors fail to dete ...

Sensing forms an integral part of soft matter based robots due to their compliance, dependence on loading conditions, and virtually infinite degrees of freedom. Previous studies have developed several extrinsic sensors and embedded them into soft actuators ...

Handwriting learning is a long and complex process that takes about ten years to be fully mastered. Nearly one-third of all children aged 4-12 experiences handwriting difficulties and, sadly, most of them are left to fight them on their own, due to the sca ...

Centimetre level precision mapping is essential for many applications such as land-use, infrastructure inspection, cultural heritage preservation, and construction site monitoring. However, the acquisition and its preparation (in particular the setting of ...

The Robots for Learning workshop series aims at advancing the research topics related to the use of social robots in educational contexts. This year's half-day workshop follows on previous events in Human-Robot Interaction conferences focusing on efforts t ...

The human hand is an amazing tool, demonstrated by its incredible motor capability and remarkable sense of touch. To enable robots to work in a human-centric environment, it is desirable to endow robotic hands with human-like capabilities for grasping and ...

Humanoid robots are gaining much interest nowadays. This is partly motivated by the ability of such robots to replace humans in dangerous environments being specifically designed for humans, such as man-made or natural disaster scenarios. However, existing ...

This paper presents an experiment in which the iCub humanoid robot learns to recognize faces through proprioceptive information. We take inspiration in the way blind people recognize people's faces, i.e. through tactile exploration of the person's face. Th ...

What encourages people to refer to a robot as if it was a living being? Is it because of the robot’s humanoid or animal-like shape, its movements or rather the kind of inter- action it enables? We aim to investigate robots’ characteristics that lead people ...

A typical Computer Vision system needs to process vast amounts of data as captured by one or more cameras, constantly testing the capabilities of today's hardware. Yet such systems face an ever-growing computational load caused by the more and more demandi ...

As robots start pervading human environments, the need for new interfaces that would simplify human-robot interaction has become more pressing. Robot Programming by Demonstration (RbD) develops intuitive ways of programming robots, taking inspiration in st ...

We present a probabilistic architecture for solving generically the problem of extracting the task constraints through a Programming by Demonstration (PbD) framework and for generalizing the acquired knowledge to various situations. In previous work, we pr ...
