Article
Accés obertThe inclusion of robots in our society is imminent, such as service robots. Robots are now capable of reliably manipulating objects in our daily lives but only when combined with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for ... -
"Elbows out": predictive tracking of partially occluded pose for robot-assisted dressing
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018)
Article
Accés obertRobots that can assist in the Activities of Daily Living (ADL), such as dressing, may support older adults, addressing the needs of an aging population in the face of a growing shortage of care professionals. Using depth ... -
Evaluating the effect of theory of mind on people’s trust in a faulty robot
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertThe success of human-robot interaction is strongly affected by the people's ability to infer others' intentions and behaviours, and the level of people's trust that others will abide by their same principles and social ... -
Evaluation of an exercise-enabling control interface for powered wheelchair users: a feasibility study with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
(2020-12-01)
Article
Accés obertBackground Powered wheelchairs are an essential technology to support mobility, yet their use is associated with a high level of sedentarism that can have negative health effects for their users. People with Duchenne ... -
Evaluation of random forests on large-scale classification problems using a bag-of-visual-words representation
(2014)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertRandom Forest is a very efficient classification method that has shown success in tasks like image segmentation or object detection, but has not been applied yet in large-scale image classification scenarios using a ... -
Execution fault recovery in robot programming by demonstration using multiple models
(2016)
Article
Accés obertDeformable object (e.g., clothes) manipulation by a robot in interaction with a human being presents several interesting challenges. Due to texture and deformability, the object can get hooked in the human limbs. Moreover, ... -

Exploitation of time-of-flight (ToF) cameras
(2010)
Report de recerca
Accés obertThis technical report reviews the state-of-the art in the field of ToF cameras, their advantages, their limitations, and their present-day applications sometimes in combination with other sensors. Even though ToF cameras ... -
Exploiting single-cycle symmetries in branch-and-prune algorithms
(Springer Verlag, 2007)
Capítol de llibre
Accés obertAs a first attempt to exploit symmetries in continuous con- straint problems, we focus on permutations of the variables consisting of one single cycle. We propose a procedure that takes advantage of these symmetries by ... -

(2007)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertAs a first attempt to exploit symmetries in continuous constraint problems, we focus on permutations of the variables consisting of one single cycle. We propose a procedure that takes advantage of these symmetries by ... -
Exploiting single-cycle symmetries in continuous constraint problems
(2007)
Report de recerca
Accés obertSymmetries in discrete constraint satisfaction problems have been explored and exploited in the last years, but symmetries in continuous constraint problems have not received the same attention. Here we focus on permutations ... -
Exploiting symmetries in reinforcement learning of bimanual robotic tasks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019)
Article
Accés obertMovement Primitives (MPs) have been widely adopted for representing and learning robotic movements using Reinforcement Learning Policy Search. Probabilistic Movement Primitives (ProMPs) are a kind of MP based on a stochastic ... -
External force estimation during compliant robot manipulation
(2013)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertThis paper presents a method to estimate external forces exerted on a manipulator, avoiding the use of a sensor. The method is based on task-oriented dynamics model learning and a robust disturbance state observer. The ... -
External force estimation for textile grasp detection
(2012)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertOur current work on external force estimation without end-effector force sensor is resented.To verify if a grasp of a textile has been successful, the external wrench applied on the robot is computed online, with a state ... -
FINDDD: A fast 3D descriptor to characterize textiles for robot manipulation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertMost current depth sensors provide 2.5D range images in which depth values are assigned to a rectangular 2D array. In this paper we take advantage of this structured information to build an efficient shape descriptor which ... -
Finding safe policies in model-based active learning
