  • Eduquem les criatures... també les artificials! 

    Torras, Carme (2023-04-01)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Artificial és tot allò creat pels humans, ja siguin objectes d’artesania com enginys fruit de la tecnologia. Malgrat l’antiguitat dels productes artificials i de la utilització d’eines per construir-los, no és fins a ...
  • Humans i robots: ¿qui modela qui? 

    Torras, Carme (2023)
    Article
    Accés obert
    En un futur ben proper, els robots socials, que avui són objecte d’intensa investigació, sens dubte ens modelaran. Individualment i com a societat. Això ens obliga a preparar-nos per respondre moltes qüestions, principalment ...
  • Gendered human–robot Interactions in services 

    Forgas Coll, Santiago; Huertas Garcia, Rubén; Andriella, Antonio; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (2023-11)
    Article
    Accés obert
    The outbreak of Covid-19 precipitated the use of service robots in customer-facing services as a replacement for employ- ees to avoid human-to-human contact. However, this development has not resolved the debate as to ...
  • Shared task representation for human–robot collaborative navigation: the collaborative search case 

    Dalmasso Blanch, Marc; Domínguez Vidal, José Enrique; Torres Rodriguez, Ivan Jesús; Jiménez Schlegl, Pablo; Garrell Zulueta, Anais; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Springer, 2023-10-30)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Recent research in Human Robot Collaboration (HRC) has spread and specialised in many sub-fields. Many show considerable advances, but the human–robot collaborative navigation (HRCN) field seems to be stuck focusing on ...
  • Condition-based design of variable impedance controllers from user demonstrations 

    San Miguel Tello, Alberto; Puig Cayuela, Vicenç; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (2023-11)
    Article
    Accés obert
    This paper presents an approach to ensure conditions on Variable Impedance Controllers through the off-line tuning of the parameters involved in its description. In particular, we prove its application to term modulations ...
  • Social robot-delivered customer-facing services: an assessment of the experience 

    Forgas Coll, Santiago; Huertas Garcia, Rubén; Andriella, Antonio; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (Taylor & Francis Group, 2023-03-12)
    Article
    Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
    The ability to install social intelligence protocols in robots in order for them to exhibit conversational skills has made them ideal tools for delivering services with a high cognitive and low emotional load. Little is ...
  • Generating predicate suggestions based on the space of plans: an example of planning with preferences 

    Canal Camprodon, Gerard; Torras, Carme; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (2023-05-31)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Task planning in human–robot environments tends to be particularly complex as it involves additional uncertainty introduced by the human user. Several plans, entailing few or various differences, can be obtained to solve ...
  • A representation of cloth states based on a derivative of the Gauss linking integral 

    Coltraro, Franco; Fontana, Josep; Amorós Torrent, Jaume; Alberich Carramiñana, Maria; Borràs Sol, Júlia; Torras, Carme (Elsevier, 2023-11-15)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Robotic manipulation of cloth is a complex task because of the infinite-dimensional shape-state space of textiles, which makes their state estimation very difficult. In this paper we introduce the dGLI Cloth Coordinates, ...
  • Enhancing egocentric 3D pose estimation with third person views 

    Dhamanaskar, Ameya; Dimiccoli, Mariella; Corona Puyane, Enric; Pumarola Peris, Albert; Moreno-Noguer, Francesc (Elsevier, 2023-06)
    Article
    Accés obert
    We propose a novel approach to enhance the 3D body pose estimation of a person computed from videos captured from a single wearable camera. The main technical contribution consists of leveraging high-level features linking ...
  • Household cloth object set: fostering benchmarking in deformable object manipulation 

    Garcia Camacho, Irene; Borràs Sol, Júlia; Calli, Berk; Norton, Adam; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022-07)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Benchmarking of robotic manipulations is one of the open issues in robotic research. An important factor that has enabled progress in this area in the last decade is the existence of common object sets that have been shared ...
  • Automated off-line generation of stable variable impedance controllers according to performance specifications 

    San Miguel Tello, Alberto; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem; Puig Cayuela, Vicenç (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022-07-01)
    Article
    Accés obert
    In this letter, we propose a novel methodology for off-line generating stable Variable Impedance Controllers considering any parameter modulation law in function of exogenous signals to the robot, as e.g. the exerted force ...
  • Efficient hand gesture recognition for human-robot interaction 

    Peral Sánchez, Marc; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto; Garrell Zulueta, Anais (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
    Article
    Accés obert
    In this paper, we present an efficient and reliable deep-learning approach that allows users to communicate with robots via hand gesture recognition. Contrary to other works which use external devices such as gloves [1] ...
