PhyPush: One Push is All You Need for Sensorless Physical Property Estimation with Physics-Guided Transformers
Koyo Fujii, Luis Figueredo, Praminda Caleb-Solly +4
Accurately estimating object mass and friction is fundamental to reliable robotic manipulation. While interactive perception is powerful, most approaches rely on specialized hardwa…
Beyond Detection -- Orchestrating Human-Robot-Robot Assistance via an Internet of Robotic Things Paradigm
Joseph Hunt, Koyo Fujii, Aly Magassouba +1
Hospital patient falls remain a critical and costly challenge worldwide. While conventional fall prevention systems typically rely on post-fall detection or reactive alerts, they a…
Facilitating the Emergence of Assistive Robots to Support Frailty: Psychosocial and Environmental Realities
Angela Higgins, Stephen Potter, Mauro Dragone +4
While assistive robots have much potential to help older people with frailty-related needs, there are few in use. There is a gap between what is developed in laboratories and what…
Analyzing Gait Adaptation with Hemiplegia Simulation Suits and Digital Twins
Jialin Chen, Jeremie Clos, Dominic Price +1
To advance the development of assistive and rehabilitation robots, it is essential to conduct experiments early in the design cycle. However, testing early prototypes directly with…
Ensemble Foreground Management for Unsupervised Object Discovery
Ziling Wu, Armaghan Moemeni, Praminda Caleb-Solly
Unsupervised object discovery (UOD) aims to detect and segment objects in 2D images without handcrafted annotations. Recent progress in self-supervised representation learning has…
Somatic Safety: An Embodied Approach Towards Safe Human-Robot Interaction
Steve Benford, Eike Schneiders, Juan Pablo Martinez Avila +9
As robots enter the messy human world so the vital matter of safety takes on a fresh complexion with physical contact becoming inevitable and even desirable. We report on an artist…
Tangles: Unpacking Extended Collision Experiences with Soma Trajectories
Steve Benford, Rachael Garrett, Christine Li +10
We reappraise the idea of colliding with robots, moving from a position that tries to avoid or mitigate collisions to one that considers them an important facet of human interactio…
Vibrotactile information coding strategies for a body-worn vest to aid robot-human collaboration
Adrian Vecina Tercero, Praminda Caleb-Solly
This paper explores the use of a body-worn vibrotactile vest to convey real-time information from robot to operator. Vibrotactile communication could be useful in providing informa…
The Dilemma of Decision-Making in the Real World: When Robots Struggle to Make Choices Due to Situational Constraints
Khairidine Benali, Praminda Caleb-Solly
In order to demonstrate the limitations of assistive robotic capabilities in noisy real-world environments, we propose a Decision-Making Scenario analysis approach that examines th…
DRAPER: Towards a Robust Robot Deployment and Reliable Evaluation for Quasi-Static Pick-and-Place Cloth-Shaping Neural Controllers
Halid Abdulrahim Kadi, Jose Alex Chandy, Luis Figueredo +2
Comparing robotic cloth-manipulation systems in a real-world setup is challenging. The fidelity gap between simulation-trained cloth neural controllers and real-world operation hin…
Making Early Predictions of the Accuracy of Machine Learning Applications
J. E. Smith, P. Caleb-Solly, M. A. Tahir +2
The accuracy of machine learning systems is a widely studied research topic. Established techniques such as cross-validation predict the accuracy on unseen data of the classifier p…
