SimTac: A Physics-Based Simulator for Vision-Based Tactile Sensing with Biomorphic Structures
Xuyang Zhang, Jiaqi Jiang, Zhuo Chen +5
Tactile sensing in biological organisms is deeply intertwined with morphological form, such as human fingers, cat paws, and elephant trunks, which enables rich and adaptive interac…
BVE + EKF: A viewpoint estimator for the estimation of the object's position in the 3D task space using Extended Kalman Filters
Sandro Costa Magalhães, António Paulo Moreira, Filipe Neves dos Santos +1
RGB-D sensors face multiple challenges operating under open-field environments because of their sensitivity to external perturbations such as radiation or rain. Multiple works are…
Gaussian Mixture Models for Affordance Learning using Bayesian Networks
Pedro Osório, Alexandre Bernardino, Ruben Martinez-Cantin +1
Affordances are fundamental descriptors of relationships between actions, objects and effects. They provide the means whereby a robot can predict effects, recognize actions, select…
Body Schema Acquisition through Active Learning
Ruben Martinez-Cantin, Manuel Lopes, Luis Montesano
We present an active learning algorithm for the problem of body schema learning, i.e. estimating a kinematic model of a serial robot. The learning process is done online using Recu…
Robust human position estimation in cooperative robotic cells
António Amorim, Diana Guimarães, Tiago Mendonça +3
Robots are increasingly present in our lives, sharing the workspace and tasks with human co-workers. However, existing interfaces for human-robot interaction / cooperation (HRI/C)…
Force Feedback Control For Dexterous Robotic Hands Using Conditional Postural Synergies
Dimitrios Dimou, Jose Santos-Victor, Plinio Moreno
We present a force feedback controller for a dexterous robotic hand equipped with force sensors on its fingertips. Our controller uses the conditional postural synergies framework…
