  • Force and velocity prediction in human-robot collaborative transportation tasks through video retentive networks 

    Domínguez Vidal, José Enrique; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    In this article, we propose a generalization of a Deep Learning State-of-the-Art architecture such as Retentive Networks so that it can accept video sequences as input. With this generalization, we design a force/velocity ...
  • Human-robot harvesting plan negotiation: perception, grape mapping and shared planning 

    Dalmasso Blanch, Marc; García Ruiz, Francisco; Ciarfuglia, Thomas A.; Saraceni, Leonardo; Motoi, Ionut M.; Gil Moya, Emilio; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    In this paper we present an application of plan negotiation for distributing work in Human-Robot Teams (HRT), engaging in a shared plan generation process. This model has been experimented over data collected from a real-life ...
  • Body gestures recognition for social human-robot interaction 

    Laplaza Galindo, Javier; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto; Garrell Zulueta, Anais (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    In this paper, a solution for human gesture classification is proposed. The solution uses a Deep Learning model and is meant to be useful for non-verbal communication between humans and robots. The research focuses on the ...
  • Exploring transformers and visual transformers for force prediction in human-robot collaborative transportation tasks 

    Domínguez Vidal, José Enrique; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
    Conference report

    In this paper, we analyze the possibilities offered by Deep Learning State-of-the-Art architectures such as Transformers and Visual Transformers in generating a prediction of the human’s force in a Human-Robot collaborative ...
  • Human motion trajectory prediction using the social force model for real-time and low computational cost applications 

    Gil Viyuela, Óscar; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Springer, 2023)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Human motion trajectory prediction is a very important functionality for human-robot collaboration, specifically in accompanying, guiding, or approaching tasks, but also in social robotics, self-driving vehicles, or ...
  • Context attention: human motion prediction using context information and deep learning attention models 

    Laplaza Galindo, Javier; Moreno-Noguer, Francesc; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Springer, 2022)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    This work proposes a human motion prediction model for handover operations. The model uses a multi-headed attention architecture to process the human skeleton data together with contextual data from the operation. This ...
  • The LogiSmile project: piloting autonomous vehicles for lastmile logistics in European cities 

    Lemardele, Clement; Baldó Canut, Albert; Pagès Giralt, Laia; Aniculaesei, Adina; Rausch, Andreas; Conill de Azpiazu, Maria; Everding, Lars; Hegerhorst, Torben; Henze, Roman; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto; Santamaria Navarro, Àngel (2023)
    Conference report

    The use of autonomous technologies for last-mile logistics has the potential to reduce operation costs, cut emissions from the delivery sector, improve safety levels in communities, and provide efficient delivery solutions ...
  • Improving human-robot interaction effectiveness in human-robot collaborative object transportation using force prediction 

    Domínguez Vidal, José Enrique; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In this work, we analyse the use of a prediction of the human’s force in a Human-Robot collaborative object transportation task at a middle distance. We check that this force prediction can improve multiple parameters ...
  • Real-life experiment metrics for evaluating human-robot collaborative navigation tasks 

    Repiso Polo, Ely; Garrell Zulueta, Anais; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (2023)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    As robots move from laboratories and industries to the real world, they must develop new abilities to collaborate with humans in various aspects, including human-robot collaborative navigation (HRCN) tasks. Then, it is ...
  • Inference vs. explicitness. Do we really need the perfect predictor? The human-robot collaborative object transportation case 

    Domínguez Vidal, José Enrique; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (2023)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    When robots interact with humans, limitations in their internal models arise due to the uncertainty and even randomness of human behavior. This has led to attempts to predict human future actions and infer their intent. ...
  • Body gesture recognition to control a social mobile robot 

    Laplaza Galindo, Javier; Romero Martín, Rut; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto; Garrell Zulueta, Anais (2023)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In this work, we propose a gesture-based language to allow humans to interact with robots using their body in a natural way. We have created a new gesture detection model using neural networks and a new dataset of humans ...
  • Human acceptance in the Human-Robot Interaction scenario for last-mile goods delivery 

    Puig-Pey Clavería, Ana María; Zamora i Mestre, Joan-Lluís; Amante García, Beatriz; Moreno Sanz, Joan; Garrell Zulueta, Anais; Grau Saldes, Antoni; Bolea Monte, Yolanda; Santamaria Navarro, Àngel; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    The introduction of robotic technology in an existing scenario must be analyzed from the point of view of all the human roles involved in that scenario. In the case of dealing with urban public space, the analysis must ...
