Sampling-Based Visibility Task Planning
Stav Ashur, Avishai Sintov
Robot Task and Motion Planning (TAMP) algorithms enable autonomous operation by incorporating the specific functions and constraints of end-effector tools, such as grippers or sold…
DiG-Net: Enhancing Human-Robot Interaction through Hyper-Range Dynamic Gesture Recognition in Assistive Robotics
Eran Bamani Beeri, Eden Nissinman, Avishai Sintov
Dynamic hand gestures play a pivotal role in assistive human-robot interaction (HRI), facilitating intuitive, non-verbal communication, particularly for individuals with mobility c…
ORACLE-Grasp: Zero-Shot Affordance-Aligned Robotic Grasping using Large Multimodal Models
Avihai Giuili, Rotem Atari, Avishai Sintov
Grasping unknown objects in unstructured environments is a critical challenge for service robots, which must operate in dynamic, real-world settings such as homes, hospitals, and w…
IMU-based Real-Time Crutch Gait Phase and Step Detections in Lower-Limb Exoskeletons
Anis R. Shakkour, David Hexner, Yehuda Bitton +1
Lower limb exoskeletons and prostheses require precise, real time gait phase and step detections to ensure synchronized motion and user safety. Conventional methods often rely on c…
Real-time Human Finger Pointing Recognition and Estimation for Robot Directives Using a Single Web-Camera
Eran Bamani, Eden Nissinman, Lisa Koenigsberg +3
Gestures play a pivotal role in human communication, often serving as a preferred or complementary medium to verbal expression due to their superior spatial reference capabilities.…
Speech-to-Trajectory: Learning Human-Like Verbal Guidance for Robot Motion
Eran Beeri Bamani, Eden Nissinman, Rotem Atari +2
Full integration of robots into real-life applications necessitates their ability to interpret and execute natural language directives from untrained users. Given the inherent vari…
