Parag Khanna, Andreas Naoum, Elmira Yadollahi +2
This work presents REFLEX: Robotic Explanations to FaiLures and Human EXpressions, a comprehensive multimodal dataset capturing human reactions to robot failures and subsequent exp…
Early Detection of Human Handover Intentions in Human-Robot Collaboration: Comparing EEG, Gaze, and Hand Motion
Parag Khanna, Nona Rajabi, Sumeyra U. Demir Kanik +3
Human-robot collaboration (HRC) relies on accurate and timely recognition of human intentions to ensure seamless interactions. Among common HRC tasks, human-to-robot object handove…
How do Humans take an Object from a Robot: Behavior changes observed in a User Study
Parag Khanna, Elmira Yadollahi, Iolanda Leite +2
To facilitate human-robot interaction and gain human trust, a robot should recognize and adapt to changes in human behavior. This work documents different human behaviors observed…
