Beyond Kinematic Tracking: Preserving Expressive Characteristics in Humanoid Whole-Body Control
Lingfan Bao, Hanshang Zhu, Yan Pan +6
Whole-body control plays a crucial role in enabling humanoid robots to execute expressive motions. Faithful execution requires preserving both the intended action and its expressiv…
PAMoR: Parameterized Affective Motion Generation in Real Time for Humanoid Robots
Yan Pan, Lingfan Bao, Tianhu Peng +1
People read a humanoid robot's motion in social settings not only for the action performed but for the affect conveyed. Motion carrying that affect has so far been generated for hu…
Calf-Integrated Arms for Bimanual Quadruped Loco-Manipulation
Yan Pan, Yuanchuan Ren, Chipui Chan +2
Most quadruped loco-manipulation designs trade manipulation capability against stance. A trunk-mounted arm sits high and usually carries a single arm; using the legs as manipulator…
Hierarchical Intention-Aware Expressive Motion Generation for Humanoid Robots
Lingfan Bao, Yan Pan, Tianhu Peng +2
Effective human-robot interaction requires robots to identify human intentions and generate expressive, socially appropriate motions in real-time. Existing approaches often rely on…
