Joint Prediction of Human Motions and Actions in Human-Robot Collaboration
Alessandra Bulanti, Alessandro Carfì, Fulvio Mastrogiovanni
Fluent human--robot collaboration requires robots to continuously estimate human behaviour and anticipate future intentions. This entails reasoning jointly about \emph{continuous m…
A Distributed Multi-Modal Sensing Approach for Human Activity Recognition in Real-Time Human-Robot Collaboration
Valerio Belcamino, Nhat Minh Dinh Le, Quan Khanh Luu +3
Human activity recognition (HAR) is fundamental in human-robot collaboration (HRC), enabling robots to respond to and dynamically adapt to human intentions. This paper introduces a…
Factored Reasoning with Inner Speech and Persistent Memory for Evidence-Grounded Human-Robot Interaction
Valerio Belcamino, Mariya Kilina, Alessandro Carfì +3
Dialogue-based human-robot interaction requires robot cognitive assistants to maintain persistent user context, recover from underspecified requests, and ground responses in extern…
A Social Robot with Inner Speech for Dietary Guidance
Valerio Belcamino, Alessandro Carfì, Valeria Seidita +2
We explore the use of inner speech as a mechanism to enhance transparency and trust in social robots for dietary advice. In humans, inner speech structures thought processes and de…
A Comparative Study of Human Activity Recognition: Motion, Tactile, and multi-modal Approaches
Valerio Belcamino, Nhat Minh Dinh Le, Quan Khanh Luu +3
Human activity recognition (HAR) is essential for effective Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC), enabling robots to interpret and respond to human actions. This study evaluates the abi…
Investigating Mixed Reality for Communication Between Humans and Mobile Manipulators
Mohamad Shaaban, Simone Macci`o, Alessandro Carf`ı +1
This article investigates mixed reality (MR) to enhance human-robot collaboration (HRC). The proposed solution adopts MR as a communication layer to convey a mobile manipulator's i…
