Bayesian Active Object Recognition and 6D Pose Estimation from Multimodal Contact Sensing
Haodong Zheng, Gabriele M. Caddeo, Andrei C. Jalba +3
We present an active tactile exploration framework for joint object recognition and 6D pose estimation. The proposed method integrates wrist force/torque sensing, GelSight tactile…
A Bayesian Framework for Active Tactile Object Recognition, Pose Estimation and Shape Transfer Learning
Haodong Zheng, Andrei Jalba, Raymond H. Cuijpers +2
As humans can explore and understand the world through active touch, similar capability is desired for robots. In this paper, we address the problem of active tactile object recogn…
Designing Persuasive Social Robots for Health Behavior Change: A Systematic Review of Behavior Change Strategies and Evaluation Methods
Jiaxin Xu, Chao Zhang, Raymond H. Cuijpers +1
Social robots are increasingly applied as health behavior change interventions, yet actionable knowledge to guide their design and evaluation remains limited. This systematic revie…
Robot-Initiated Social Control of Sedentary Behavior: Comparing the Impact of Relationship- and Target-Focused Strategies
Jiaxin Xu, Sterre Anna Mariam van der Horst, Chao Zhang +2
To design social robots to effectively promote health behavior change, it is essential to understand how people respond to various health communication strategies employed by these…
