Robot Motion Transition with a Human Motion Prior
Taehyun Byun, Taemoon Jeong, Yoonbyung Chai +4
Humanoid motion-tracking policies can reproduce diverse behaviors, yet connecting independently acquired motions into a continuous sequence remains challenging. Interpolation conne…
LEGO: Latent-space Exploration for Geometry-aware Optimization of Humanoid Kinematic Design
Jihwan Yoon, Taemoon Jeong, Jeongeun Park +5
Designing robot morphologies and kinematics has traditionally relied on human intuition, with little systematic foundation. Motion-design co-optimization offers a promising path to…
Learning Social Navigation from Positive and Negative Demonstrations and Rule-Based Specifications
Chanwoo Kim, Jihwan Yoon, Hyeonseong Kim +9
Mobile robot navigation in dynamic human environments requires policies that balance adaptability to diverse behaviors with compliance to safety constraints. We hypothesize that in…
Towards Embedding Dynamic Personas in Interactive Robots: Masquerading Animated Social Kinematics (MASK)
Jeongeun Park, Taemoon Jeong, Hyeonseong Kim +7
This paper presents the design and development of an innovative interactive robotic system to enhance audience engagement using character-like personas. Built upon the foundations…
