Optimization of sim-to-real transfer in the humanoid robot NICO
Juraj Gavura, Igor Farkaš
Robotic grasping requires accurate coordination between visual perception, object localization, inverse kinematics, and hand control. However, when movements planned in simulation…
Imitation of Arm Gestures by the Semi-Humanoid Robot NICO
Anastasiya Ihnatovich, Igor FarkaÅ¡, Igor Farkaš
Seamless human-robot interaction (HRI) requires a number of perceptual and motor abilities from the robot, one of them being the imitation of human gestures. Humanoid robots have a…
Toward an Interaction-Centered Approach to Robot Trustworthiness
Carlo Mazzola, Hassan Ali, KristÃna Malinovská +1
As robots get more integrated into human environments, fostering trustworthiness in embodied robotic agents becomes paramount for an effective and safe human-robot interaction (HRI…
Examining the legibility of humanoid robot arm movements in a pointing task
Andrej LúÄny, Matilde Antonj, Carlo Mazzola +5
Human--robot interaction requires robots whose actions are legible, allowing humans to interpret, predict, and feel safe around them. This study investigates the legibility of huma…
Robotic Calibration Based on Haptic Feedback Improves Sim-to-Real Transfer
Juraj Gavura, Michal Vavrecka, Igor Farkas +1
When inverse kinematics (IK) is adopted to control robotic arms in manipulation tasks, there is often a discrepancy between the end effector (EE) position of the robot model in the…
Generating and Customizing Robotic Arm Trajectories using Neural Networks
Andrej LúÄny, Matilde Antonj, Carlo Mazzola +2
We introduce a neural network approach for generating and customizing the trajectory of a robotic arm, that guarantees precision and repeatability. To highlight the potential of th…
