Humanoid Motion Scripting with Postural Synergies
Rhea Malhotra, William Chong, Catie Cuan +1
Generating sequences of human-like motions for humanoid robots presents challenges in collecting and analyzing reference human motions, synthesizing new motions based on these refe…
Breathless: An 8-hour Performance Contrasting Human and Robot Expressiveness
Catie Cuan, Tianshuang Qiu, Shreya Ganti +1
This paper describes the robot technology behind an original performance that pairs a human dancer (Cuan) with an industrial robot arm for an eight-hour dance that unfolds over the…
Interactive Multi-Robot Flocking with Gesture Responsiveness and Musical Accompaniment
Catie Cuan, Kyle Jeffrey, Kim Kleiven +6
For decades, robotics researchers have pursued various tasks for multi-robot systems, from cooperative manipulation to search and rescue. These tasks are multi-robot extensions of…
Music Mode: Transforming Robot Movement into Music Increases Likability and Perceived Intelligence
Catie Cuan, Emre Fisher, Allison Okamura +1
As robots enter everyday spaces like offices, the sounds they create affect how they are perceived. We present Music Mode, a novel mapping between a robot's joint motions and sound…
Leveraging Haptic Feedback to Improve Data Quality and Quantity for Deep Imitation Learning Models
Catie Cuan, Allison Okamura, Mohi Khansari
Learning from demonstration is a proven technique to teach robots new skills. Data quality and quantity play a critical role in the performance of models trained using data collect…
Gesture2Path: Imitation Learning for Gesture-aware Navigation
Catie Cuan, Edward Lee, Emre Fisher +5
As robots increasingly enter human-centered environments, they must not only be able to navigate safely around humans, but also adhere to complex social norms. Humans often rely on…
Choreographic and Somatic Approaches for the Development of Expressive Robotic Systems
Amy LaViers, Catie Cuan, Madison Heimerdinger +10
As robotic systems are moved out of factory work cells into human-facing environments questions of choreography become central to their design, placement, and application. With a h…
