Control Without Control: Defining Implicit Interaction Paradigms for Autonomous Assistive Robots
Janavi Gupta, Kavya Puthuveetil, Dimitra Tsakona +3
Assistive robotic systems have shown growing potential to improve the quality of life of those with disabilities. As researchers explore the automation of various caregiving tasks,…
Strategic Jenga Play via Graph Based Dynamics Modeling
Kavya Puthuveetil, Xinyi Zhang, Kazuto Yokoyama +1
Controlled manipulation of multiple objects whose dynamics are closely linked is a challenging problem within contact-rich manipulation, requiring an understanding of how the movem…
Do Mistakes Matter? Comparing Trust Responses of Different Age Groups to Errors Made by Physically Assistive Robots
Sasha Wald, Kavya Puthuveetil, Zackory Erickson
Trust is a key factor in ensuring acceptable human-robot interaction, especially in settings where robots may be assisting with critical activities of daily living. When practicall…
RoboCAP: Robotic Classification and Precision Pouring of Diverse Liquids and Granular Media with Capacitive Sensing
Yexin Hu, Alexandra Gillespie, Akhil Padmanabha +4
Liquids and granular media are pervasive throughout human environments, yet remain particularly challenging for robots to sense and manipulate precisely. In this work, we present a…
SkinGrip: An Adaptive Soft Robotic Manipulator with Capacitive Sensing for Whole-Limb Bed Bathing Assistance
Fukang Liu, Kavya Puthuveetil, Akhil Padmanabha +3
Robotics presents a promising opportunity for enhancing bathing assistance, potentially to alleviate labor shortages and reduce care costs, while offering consistent and gentle car…
Robust Body Exposure (RoBE): A Graph-based Dynamics Modeling Approach to Manipulating Blankets over People
Kavya Puthuveetil, Sasha Wald, Atharva Pusalkar +2
Robotic caregivers could potentially improve the quality of life of many who require physical assistance. However, in order to assist individuals who are lying in bed, robots must…
SLURP! Spectroscopy of Liquids Using Robot Pre-Touch Sensing
Nathaniel Hanson, Wesley Lewis, Kavya Puthuveetil +4
Liquids and granular media are pervasive throughout human environments. Their free-flowing nature causes people to constrain them into containers. We do so with thousands of differ…
Bodies Uncovered: Learning to Manipulate Real Blankets Around People via Physics Simulations
Kavya Puthuveetil, Charles C. Kemp, Zackory Erickson
While robots present an opportunity to provide physical assistance to older adults and people with mobility impairments in bed, people frequently rest in bed with blankets that cov…
