HoRD: Robust Humanoid Control via History-Conditioned Reinforcement Learning and Online Distillation
Puyue Wang, Jiawei Hu, Yan Gao +7
Humanoid robots can suffer significant performance drops under small changes in dynamics, task specifications, or environment setup. We propose HoRD, a two-stage learning framework…
Gazing at Failure: Investigating Human Gaze in Response to Robot Failure in Collaborative Tasks
Ramtin Tabatabaei, Vassilis Kostakos, Wafa Johal
Robots are prone to making errors, which can negatively impact their credibility as teammates during collaborative tasks with human users. Detecting and recovering from these failu…
ROSAnnotator: A Web Application for ROSBag Data Analysis in Human-Robot Interaction
Yan Zhang, Haoqi Li, Ramtin Tabatabaei +1
Human-robot interaction (HRI) is an interdisciplinary field that utilises both quantitative and qualitative methods. While ROSBags, a file format within the Robot Operating System…
Assisting MoCap-Based Teleoperation of Robot Arm using Augmented Reality Visualisations
Qiushi Zhou, Antony Chacon, Jiahe Pan +1
Teleoperating a robot arm involves the human operator positioning the robot's end-effector or programming each joint. Whereas humans can control their own arms easily by integratin…
OfficeMate: Pilot Evaluation of an Office Assistant Robot
Jiahe Pan, Sarah Schömbs, Yan Zhang +3
Office Assistant Robots (OARs) offer a promising solution to proactively provide in-situ support to enhance employee well-being and productivity in office spaces. We introduce Offi…
Using Fitts' Law to Benchmark Assisted Human-Robot Performance
Jiahe Pan, Jonathan Eden, Denny Oetomo +1
Shared control systems aim to combine human and robot abilities to improve task performance. However, achieving optimal performance requires that the robot's level of assistance ad…
