The robot skin placement problem: a new technique to place triangular modules inside polygons
Xuenan Guo, Fulvio Mastrogiovanni
Providing robots with large-scale robot skin is a challenging goal, especially when considering surfaces characterized by different shapes and curvatures. The problem originates fr…
Towards a new paradigm for assistive technology at home: research challenges, design issues and performance assessment
Luca Buoncompagni, Barbara Bruno, Antonella Giuni +2
Providing elderly and people with special needs, including those suffering from physical disabilities and chronic diseases, with the possibility of retaining their independence at…
Scene learning, recognition and similarity detection in a fuzzy ontology via human examples
Luca Buoncompagni, Fulvio Mastrogiovanni, Alessandro Saffiotti
This paper introduces a Fuzzy Logic framework for scene learning, recognition and similarity detection, where scenes are taught via human examples. The framework allows a robot to:…
Node Primitives: an open end-user programming platform for social robots
Enrique Coronado, Fulvio Mastrogiovanni, Gentiane Venture
With the expected adoption of robots able to seamlessly and intuitively interact with people in real-world scenarios, the need arises to provide non-technically-skilled users with…
Arianna: towards a new paradigm for assistive technology at home
Luca Buoncompagni, Barbara Bruno, Antonella Giuni +2
Providing elderly and people with special needs to retain their independence as long as possible is one of the biggest challenges of the society of tomorrow. Teseo, a startup compa…
Detection of bimanual gestures everywhere: why it matters, what we need and what is missing
Divya Shah, Ernesto Denicia, Tiago Pimentel +2
Bimanual gestures are of the utmost importance for the study of motor coordination in humans and in everyday activities. A reliable detection of bimanual gestures in unconstrained…
Flexible human-robot cooperation models for assisted shop-floor tasks
Kourosh Darwish, Francesco Wanderlingh, Barbara Bruno +3
The Industry 4.0 paradigm emphasizes the crucial benefits that collaborative robots, i.e., robots able to work alongside and together with humans, could bring to the whole producti…
Visuospatial Skill Learning for Robots
S. Reza Ahmadzadeh, Fulvio Mastrogiovanni, Petar Kormushev
A novel skill learning approach is proposed that allows a robot to acquire human-like visuospatial skills for object manipulation tasks. Visuospatial skills are attained by observi…
A ROS multi-ontology references services: OWL reasoners and application prototyping issues
Luca Buoncompagni, Alessio Capitanelli, Fulvio Mastrogiovanni
This paper introduces a ROS Multi Ontology References (ARMOR) service, a general-purpose and scalable interface between robot architectures and OWL reasoners. ARMOR addresses synch…
