Catch, Throw, Repeat: Planning for Human-Robot Partner Juggling
Jonathan Rainer Lippert, Kai Ploeger, Abir Chowdhury +3
Dynamic object exchange between humans and robots remains a challenging problem due to uncertainty in perception, timing, and contact-rich interaction. Human-robot juggling represe…
Robust Adaptive Backstepping Impedance Control of Robots in Unknown Environments
Reza Nazmara, Alap Kshirsagar, Jan Peters +1
This paper presents a Robust Adaptive Backstepping Impedance Control (RABIC) strategy for robots operating in contact-rich and uncertain environments. The proposed control strategy…
Investigating the Effect of LED Signals and Emotional Displays in Human-Robot Shared Workspaces
Maria Ibrahim, Alap Kshirsagar, Dorothea Koert +1
Effective communication is essential for safety and efficiency in human-robot collaboration, particularly in shared workspaces. This paper investigates the impact of nonverbal comm…
Investigating Active Sampling for Hardness Classification with Vision-Based Tactile Sensors
Junyi Chen, Alap Kshirsagar, Frederik Heller +7
One of the most important object properties that humans and robots perceive through touch is hardness. This paper investigates information-theoretic active sampling strategies for…
