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…
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…
