Continuous Wrist Control on the Hannes Prosthesis: a Vision-based Shared Autonomy Framework
Federico Vasile, Elisa Maiettini, Giulia Pasquale +2
Most control techniques for prosthetic grasping focus on dexterous fingers control, but overlook the wrist motion. This forces the user to perform compensatory movements with the e…
Grasp Pre-shape Selection by Synthetic Training: Eye-in-hand Shared Control on the Hannes Prosthesis
Federico Vasile, Elisa Maiettini, Giulia Pasquale +3
We consider the task of object grasping with a prosthetic hand capable of multiple grasp types. In this setting, communicating the intended grasp type often requires a high user co…
Bring Your Own Grasp Generator: Leveraging Robot Grasp Generation for Prosthetic Grasping
Giuseppe Stracquadanio, Federico Vasile, Elisa Maiettini +2
One of the most important research challenges in upper-limb prosthetics is enhancing the user-prosthesis communication to closely resemble the experience of a natural limb. As pros…
Gaze estimation learning architecture as support to affective, social and cognitive studies in natural human-robot interaction
Maria Lombardi, Elisa Maiettini, Agnieszka Wykowska +1
Gaze is a crucial social cue in any interacting scenario and drives many mechanisms of social cognition (joint and shared attention, predicting human intention, coordination tasks)…
iCub Detecting Gazed Objects: A Pipeline Estimating Human Attention
Shiva Hanifi, Elisa Maiettini, Maria Lombardi +1
This research report explores the role of eye gaze in human-robot interactions and proposes a learning system for detecting objects gazed at by humans using solely visual feedback.…
