The ethical issues of social assistive robotics: A critical literature review
(2021-11)
Article
Open AccessAlong with its potential contributions to the practice of care, social assistive robotics raises significant ethical issues. The growing development of this technoscientific field of intelligent robotics has thus triggered ... -
Disturbance observer-based LPV feedback control of a N-DoF robotic manipulator including compliance through gain shifting
(2021-10)
Article
Open AccessThis paper proposes a control scheme for a -DoF robotic manipulator in a joint-regulation motion problem, dealing with disturbances (as e.g. exogenous forces, unmodelled dynamics) that hinder task fulfilment, and also ... -
Mobile manipulation hackathon: moving into real world applications
(2021)
Article
Open AccessThe Mobile Manipulation Hackathon was held in late 2018 during the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) to showcase the latest applications of wheeled robotic manipulators. The challenge ... -
Perception of cloth in assistive robotic manipulation tasks
(2020-01-01)
Article
Open AccessAssistive robots need to be able to perform a large number of tasks that imply some type of cloth manipulation. These tasks include domestic chores such as laundry handling or bed-making, among others, as well as dressing ... -
The influence of camera calibration on nearshore bathymetry estimation from UAV videos
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-01-05)
Article
Open AccessMeasuring the nearshore bathymetry is critical in coastal management and morphodynamic studies. The recent advent of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), in combination with coastal video monitoring techniques, allows for an ... -
Do I have a personality? Endowing care robots with context-dependent personality traits
(Springer, 2020-01-01)
Article
Open AccessRecent studies have revealed the key importance of modelling personality in robots to improve interaction quality by empowering them with social-intelligence capabilities. Most research relies on verbal and non-verbal ... -
Evaluation of an exercise-enabling control interface for powered wheelchair users: a feasibility study with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
(2020-12-01)
Article
Open AccessBackground 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 ... -
Science-fiction: a mirror for the future of humankind
(2020)
Article
Open AccessDigital technologies have become part of our everyday lives and are increasingly acting as intermediaries in our workplaces and personal relationships or even substituting them. This poses a series of ethical questions ... -
GANimation: one-shot anatomically consistent facial animation
(2019-01-01)
Article
Open AccessRecent advances in generative adversarial networks (GANs) have shown impressive results for the task of facial expression synthesis. The most successful architecture is StarGAN (Choi et al. in CVPR, 2018), that conditions ... -
A Versatile Gripper for Cloth Manipulation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCloth manipulation has been mostly advancing in perception and modeling methods for cloth state estimation and grasping point detection. In comparison, less attention has been put on end-effector design. Indeed, most ... -
A Grasping-centered analysis for cloth manipulation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-06-01)
Article
Open AccessCompliant and soft hands have gained a lot of atten- tion in the past decade because of their ability to adapt to the shape of the objects, increasing their effectiveness for grasping. However, when it comes to grasping ... -
