Semantic Motion Anchors: Bridging Motion and Meaning in Co-Speech Gestures
Varsha Suresh, Mohammad Mahdi Abootorabi, Mohamed Salman +5
Learning a shared representation between spoken text and gesture is central to co-speech gesture retrieval, synthesis, and understanding, but remains challenging for semantically m…
Intent Lenses: Inferring Capture-Time Intent to Transform Opportunistic Photo Captures into Structured Visual Notes
Ashwin Ram, Aeneas Leon Sommer, Martin Schmitz +1
Opportunistic photo capture (e.g., slides, exhibits, or artifacts) is a common strategy for preserving information encountered in information-rich environments for later revisitati…
Mirror Skin: In Situ Visualization of Robot Touch Intent on Robotic Skin
David Wagmann, Matti Krüger, Chao Wang +1
Effective communication of robotic touch intent is a key factor in promoting safe and predictable physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). While intent communication has been widel…
GestureCoach: Rehearsing for Engaging Talks with LLM-Driven Gesture Recommendations
Ashwin Ram, Varsha Suresh, Artin Saberpour Abadian +2
This paper introduces GestureCoach, a system designed to help speakers deliver more engaging talks by guiding them to gesture effectively during rehearsal. GestureCoach combines an…
3HANDS Dataset: Learning from Humans for Generating Naturalistic Handovers with Supernumerary Robotic Limbs
Artin Saberpour Abadian, Yi-Chi Liao, Ata Otaran +5
Supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) are robotic structures integrated closely with the user's body, which augment human physical capabilities and necessitate seamless, naturalistic…
ExoKit: A Toolkit for Rapid Prototyping of Interactions for Arm-based Exoskeletons
Marie Muehlhaus, Alexander Liggesmeyer, Jürgen Steimle
Exoskeletons open up a unique interaction space that seamlessly integrates users' body movements with robotic actuation. Despite its potential, human-exoskeleton interaction remain…
