  • Inside-out states of garments 

    Jiménez Schlegl, Pablo (2024-02-28)
    Research report
    Open Access
    Cloth items such as garments can be potentially in infinite different configurations, due to their deformability. For the practical purposes of manipulation, however, it is possible to discretize the space of deformations ...
  • Robots as mediators to resolve multi-user preference conflicts 

    Civit Bertran, Aniol; Stower, Rebecca; Leite, Iolanda; Andriella, Antonio; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (2024-08-26)
    Research report / Conference report
    Open Access
    In real-life scenarios, robots will have to make decisions that involve multiple users. The current literature does not consider scenarios where a robot interacts with users who have conflicting preferences. To address ...
  • Proactive learning of cognitive exercises with a social robot 

    Suárez Hernández, Alejandro; Andriella, Antonio; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem; Torras, Carme (2022-05-27)
    Research report
    Open Access
    We introduce INtuitive PROgramming 2 (INPRO2), an improvement over our previous INPRO framework for learning board exercises via demonstrations. INPRO2 makes use of our Online Action Recognition through Unification (OARU) ...
  • Visual feedback for humans about robots' perception in collaborative environments 

    Gassó Loncan, Juan Cruz; Olivares Alarcos, Alberto; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (2020-07-20)
    Research report
    Open Access
    During the last years, major advances on artificial intelligence have successfully allowed robots to perceive their environment, which not only includes static but also dynamic objects such as humans. Indeed, robotic ...
  • Corner detection of deformable fabric using deep learning 

    Mitjans Coma, Albert; Maceira Duch, Marc; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (2020)
    Research report
    Open Access
    Robotic manipulation of deformable objects such as a towel is one of the most challenging tasks in the field of service robotics. Their unpredictable shape and pose makes it difficult to identify the most relevant parts ...

    Research report
    Open Access
    In recent years, we live every day in an ever more connected world. This phenomenon has developed the technologies of the Internet of Things (IoT). At the same time, advances in robotics now make it possible to have ...
  • Database for 3D human pose estimation from single depth images 

    Arduengo García, Miguel; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem; Moreno-Noguer, Francesc (2016)
    Research report
    Open Access
    This work is part of the project I-­-DRESS (Assistive interactive robotic system for support in dressing). The specific objective is the detection of human body postures and the tracking of their movements. To this end, ...
  • ROS wrapper for real-time multi-person pose estimation with a single camera 

    Arduengo García, Miguel; Jorgensen, Steven Jens; Hambuchen, Kimberly; Sentis, Luis; Moreno-Noguer, Francesc; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (2017)
    Research report
    Open Access
    For robots to be deployable in human occupied environments, the robots must have human-awareness and generate human-aware behaviors and policies. OpenPose is a library for real-time multi-person keypoint detection. We have ...
