Finding safe 3D robot grasps through efficient haptic exploration with unscented Bayesian optimization and collision penalty
Joao Castanheira, Pedro Vicente, Ruben Martinez-Cantin +2
Robust grasping is a major, and still unsolved, problem in robotics. Information about the 3D shape of an object can be obtained either from prior knowledge (e.g., accurate models…
World Models and Predictive Coding for Cognitive and Developmental Robotics: Frontiers and Challenges
Tadahiro Taniguchi, Shingo Murata, Masahiro Suzuki +8
Creating autonomous robots that can actively explore the environment, acquire knowledge and learn skills continuously is the ultimate achievement envisioned in cognitive and develo…
Visuo-Haptic Object Perception for Robots: An Overview
Nicolás Navarro-Guerrero, Sibel Toprak, Josip Josifovski +1
The object perception capabilities of humans are impressive, and this becomes even more evident when trying to develop solutions with a similar proficiency in autonomous robots. Wh…
Robust and fast generation of top and side grasps for unknown objects
Brice Denoun, Beatriz Leon, Claudio Zito +3
In this work, we present a geometry-based grasping algorithm that is capable of efficiently generating both top and side grasps for unknown objects, using a single view RGB-D camer…
Metrics and Benchmarks for Remote Shared Controllers in Industrial Applications
Claudio Zito, Maxime Adjigble, Brice D. Denoun +3
Remote manipulation is emerging as one of the key robotics tasks needed in extreme environments. Several researchers have investigated how to add AI components into shared controll…
Beyond the Self: Using Grounded Affordances to Interpret and Describe Others' Actions
Giovanni Saponaro, Lorenzo Jamone, Alexandre Bernardino +1
We propose a developmental approach that allows a robot to interpret and describe the actions of human agents by reusing previous experience. The robot first learns the association…
Learning at the Ends: From Hand to Tool Affordances in Humanoid Robots
Giovanni Saponaro, Pedro Vicente, Atabak Dehban +3
One of the open challenges in designing robots that operate successfully in the unpredictable human environment is how to make them able to predict what actions they can perform on…
Interactive Robot Learning of Gestures, Language and Affordances
Giovanni Saponaro, Lorenzo Jamone, Alexandre Bernardino +1
A growing field in robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) research is human-robot collaboration, whose target is to enable effective teamwork between humans and robots. However,…
Unscented Bayesian Optimization for Safe Robot Grasping
José Nogueira, Ruben Martinez-Cantin, Alexandre Bernardino +1
We address the robot grasp optimization problem of unknown objects considering uncertainty in the input space. Grasping unknown objects can be achieved by using a trial and error e…
