Speed Maps: An Application to Guide Robots in Human Environments
Akansel Cosgun
We present the concept of speed maps: speed limits for mobile robots in human environments. Static speed maps allow for faster navigation on corridors while limiting the speed arou…
ARviz -- An Augmented Reality-enabled Visualization Platform for ROS Applications
Khoa C. Hoang, Wesley P. Chan, Steven Lay +2
Current robot interfaces such as teach pendants and 2D screen displays used for task visualization and interaction often seem unintuitive and limited in terms of information flow.…
Mixing Human Demonstrations with Self-Exploration in Experience Replay for Deep Reinforcement Learning
Dylan Klein, Akansel Cosgun
We investigate the effect of using human demonstration data in the replay buffer for Deep Reinforcement Learning. We use a policy gradient method with a modified experience replay…
Tabletop Object Rearrangement: Team ACRV's Entry to OCRTOC
Zheyu Zhang, Rhys Newbury, Kerry He +5
Open Cloud Robot Table Organization Challenge (OCRTOC) is one of the most comprehensive cloud-based robotic manipulation competitions. It focuses on rearranging tabletop objects us…
Virtual Barriers in Augmented Reality for Safe and Effective Human-Robot Cooperation in Manufacturing
Khoa Cong Hoang, Wesley P. Chan, Steven Lay +2
Safety is a fundamental requirement in any human-robot collaboration scenario. To ensure the safety of users for such scenarios, we propose a novel Virtual Barrier system facilitat…
Demonstrating Cloth Folding to Robots: Design and Evaluation of a 2D and a 3D User Interface
Benjamin Waymouth, Akansel Cosgun, Rhys Newbury +4
An appropriate user interface to collect human demonstration data for deformable object manipulation has been mostly overlooked in the literature. We present an interaction design…
