ARviz -- An Augmented Reality-enabled Visualization Platform for ROS Applications
Khoa C. Hoang, Wesley P. Chan, Steven Lay +2
Current robot interfaces such as teach pendants and 2D screen displays used for task visualization and interaction often seem unintuitive and limited in terms of information flow.…
A Proposed Set of Communicative Gestures for Human Robot Interaction and an RGB Image-based Gesture Recognizer Implemented in ROS
Jia Chuan A. Tan, Wesley P. Chan, Nicole L. Robinson +2
We propose a set of communicative gestures and develop a gesture recognition system with the aim of facilitating more intuitive Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) through gestures. Firs…
An Experimental Validation and Comparison of Reaching Motion Models for Unconstrained Handovers: Towards Generating Humanlike Motions for Human-Robot Handovers
Wesley P. Chan, Tin Tran, Sara Sheikholeslami +1
The Minimum Jerk motion model has long been cited in literature for human point-to-point reaching motions in single-person tasks. While it has been demonstrated that applying minim…
Group Surfing: A Pedestrian-Based Approach to Sidewalk Robot Navigation
Yuqing Du, Nicholas J. Hetherington, Chu Lip Oon +5
In this paper, we propose a novel navigation system for mobile robots in pedestrian-rich sidewalk environments. Sidewalks are unique in that the pedestrian-shared space has charact…
Virtual Barriers in Augmented Reality for Safe and Effective Human-Robot Cooperation in Manufacturing
Khoa Cong Hoang, Wesley P. Chan, Steven Lay +2
Safety is a fundamental requirement in any human-robot collaboration scenario. To ensure the safety of users for such scenarios, we propose a novel Virtual Barrier system facilitat…
Seeing Thru Walls: Visualizing Mobile Robots in Augmented Reality
Morris Gu, Akansel Cosgun, Wesley P. Chan +2
We present an approach for visualizing mobile robots through an Augmented Reality headset when there is no line-of-sight visibility between the robot and the human. Three elements…
Demonstrating Cloth Folding to Robots: Design and Evaluation of a 2D and a 3D User Interface
Benjamin Waymouth, Akansel Cosgun, Rhys Newbury +4
An appropriate user interface to collect human demonstration data for deformable object manipulation has been mostly overlooked in the literature. We present an interaction design…
Visualizing Robot Intent for Object Handovers with Augmented Reality
Rhys Newbury, Akansel Cosgun, Tysha Crowley-Davis +3
Humans are highly skilled in communicating their intent for when and where a handover would occur. However, even the state-of-the-art robotic implementations for handovers typicall…
