    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 ...
  • Fast bi-monocular visual odometry using factor graph sparsification 

    Vallvé Navarro, Joan; Debeunne, César; Vivet, Damien; Torres, Alex (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Visual navigation has become a standard in robotic applications with the emergence of robust and versatile algorithms. In particular, Visual Odometry (VO) has proven to be the most reliable navigation solution for space ...
  • 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 ...
  • Event-IMU fusion strategies for faster-than-IMU estimation throughput 

    Chamorro Hernández, William Oswaldo; Solà Ortega, Joan; Andrade-Cetto, Juan (2023)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    This study presents new methods for integrating event data and IMU readings to achieve ultra-fast camera pose estimates. The conventional predict-with-IMU-correct-with-vision approach is no longer optimal because events ...
  • 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 ...
  • Egomotion from event-based SNN optical flow 

    Tian, Yi; Andrade-Cetto, Juan (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    We present a method for computing egomotion using event cameras with a pre-trained optical flow spiking neural network (SNN). To address the aperture problem encountered in the sparse and noisy normal flow of the initial ...
  • Event transformer FlowNet for optical flow estimation 

    Tian, Yi; Andrade-Cetto, Juan (2022)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Event cameras are bioinspired sensors that produce asynchronous and sparse streams of events at image locations where intensity change is detected. They can detect fast motion with low latency, high dynamic range, and low ...
  • Classification of humans social relations within urban areas 

    Castro Arcusa, Oscar; Repiso Polo, Ely; Garrell Zulueta, Anais; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Springer, 2022)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    This paper presents the design of deep learning architectures which allow to classify the social relationship existing between two people who are walking in a side-by-side formation into four possible categories --colleagues, ...
