Information-Theoretic Detection of Bimanual Interactions for Dual-Arm Robot Plan Generation
Elena Merlo, Marta Lagomarsino, Arash Ajoudani
Programming by demonstration is a strategy to simplify the robot programming process for non-experts via human demonstrations. However, its adoption for bimanual tasks is an undere…
Intuitive Programming, Adaptive Task Planning, and Dynamic Role Allocation in Human-Robot Collaboration
Marta Lagomarsino, Elena Merlo, Andrea Pupa +5
Remarkable capabilities have been achieved by robotics and AI, mastering complex tasks and environments. Yet, humans often remain passive observers, fascinated but uncertain how to…
A Human-in-the-loop Approach to Robot Action Replanning through LLM Common-Sense Reasoning
Elena Merlo, Marta Lagomarsino, Arash Ajoudani
To facilitate the wider adoption of robotics, accessible programming tools are required for non-experts. Observational learning enables intuitive human skills transfer through hand…
Exploiting Information Theory for Intuitive Robot Programming of Manual Activities
Elena Merlo, Marta Lagomarsino, Edoardo Lamon +1
Observational learning is a promising approach to enable people without expertise in programming to transfer skills to robots in a user-friendly manner, since it mirrors how humans…
Automatic Interaction and Activity Recognition from Videos of Human Manual Demonstrations with Application to Anomaly Detection
Elena Merlo, Marta Lagomarsino, Edoardo Lamon +1
This paper presents a new method to describe spatio-temporal relations between objects and hands, to recognize both interactions and activities within video demonstrations of manua…
An Ergonomic Role Allocation Framework for Dynamic Human-Robot Collaborative Tasks
Elena Merlo, Edoardo Lamon, Fabio Fusaro +4
By incorporating ergonomics principles into the task allocation processes, human-robot collaboration (HRC) frameworks can favour the prevention of work-related musculoskeletal diso…
Dynamic Human-Robot Role Allocation based on Human Ergonomics Risk Prediction and Robot Actions Adaptation
Elena Merlo, Edoardo Lamon, Fabio Fusaro +5
Despite cobots have high potential in bringing several benefits in the manufacturing and logistic processes, but their rapid (re-)deployment in changing environments is still limit…
