Bayesian Active Object Recognition and 6D Pose Estimation from Multimodal Contact Sensing
Haodong Zheng, Gabriele M. Caddeo, Andrei C. Jalba +3
We present an active tactile exploration framework for joint object recognition and 6D pose estimation. The proposed method integrates wrist force/torque sensing, GelSight tactile…
Designing Persuasive Social Robots for Health Behavior Change: A Systematic Review of Behavior Change Strategies and Evaluation Methods
Jiaxin Xu, Chao Zhang, Raymond H. Cuijpers +1
Social robots are increasingly applied as health behavior change interventions, yet actionable knowledge to guide their design and evaluation remains limited. This systematic revie…
Robot-Initiated Social Control of Sedentary Behavior: Comparing the Impact of Relationship- and Target-Focused Strategies
Jiaxin Xu, Sterre Anna Mariam van der Horst, Chao Zhang +2
To design social robots to effectively promote health behavior change, it is essential to understand how people respond to various health communication strategies employed by these…
A Bayesian Framework for Active Tactile Object Recognition, Pose Estimation and Shape Transfer Learning
Haodong Zheng, Andrei Jalba, Raymond H. Cuijpers +2
As humans can explore and understand the world through active touch, similar capability is desired for robots. In this paper, we address the problem of active tactile object recogn…
