Improving the Fluency of Robot-Human Interaction Through Embodied Expression of Emotion via Foundation Models

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Nana Obayashi, Yi-Shiun Wu

Fluent human-robot interactions are essential for robots to be accepted and used in social scenarios including education, healthcare, or entertainment. Foundation models and Large Language Models (LLMs) in particular facilitate natural generation of text i ...

Learning Hand State Estimation for a Light Exoskeleton

Luca Randazzo

We propose a machine learning-based estimator of the hand state for rehabilitation purposes, using light exoskeletons. These devices are easy to use and useful for delivering domestic and frequent therapies. We build a supervised approach using information ...

Masked Diffusion Strategy for Privacy-Preserving Distributed Learning

Ali H. Sayed

To protect both local gradients and estimated parameters in distributed learning, this paper introduces a masked diffusion (MD) strategy, leading to two algorithms: the MD stochastic gradient (MD-SG) and the MD primal-dual stochastic gradient (MPD-SG). The ...

HyperMixer: An MLP-based Low Cost Alternative to Transformers

Fabio James Fehr, François Fleuret, Arnaud Pannatier, Haolin Chen

Transformer-based architectures are the model of choice for natural language understanding, but they come at a significant cost, as they have quadratic complexity in the input length, require a lot of training data, and can be difficult to tune. In the pur ...

Hand-Object Interaction: From Human Demonstrations to Robot Manipulation

Aude Billard

Human-object interaction is of great relevance for robots to operate in human environments. However, state-of-the-art robotic hands are far from replicating humans skills. It is, therefore, essential to study how humans use their hands to develop similar r ...
