Real-time Addressee Estimation: Deployment of a Deep-Learning Model on the iCub Robot

no code implementations9 Nov 2023 Carlo Mazzola, Francesco Rea, Alessandra Sciutti

Addressee Estimation is the ability to understand to whom a person is talking, a skill essential for social robots to interact smoothly with humans.

I am Only Happy When There is Light: The Impact of Environmental Changes on Affective Facial Expressions Recognition

no code implementations28 Oct 2022 Doreen Jirak, Alessandra Sciutti, Pablo Barros, Francesco Rea

Human-robot interaction (HRI) benefits greatly from advances in the machine learning field as it allows researchers to employ high-performance models for perceptual tasks like detection and recognition.

Robots with Different Embodiments Can Express and Influence Carefulness in Object Manipulation

no code implementations3 Aug 2022 Linda Lastrico, Luca Garello, Francesco Rea, Nicoletta Noceti, Fulvio Mastrogiovanni, Alessandra Sciutti, Alessandro Carfi

Humans have an extraordinary ability to communicate and read the properties of objects by simply watching them being carried by someone else.

Property-Aware Robot Object Manipulation: a Generative Approach

no code implementations8 Jun 2021 Luca Garello, Linda Lastrico, Francesco Rea, Fulvio Mastrogiovanni, Nicoletta Noceti, Alessandra Sciutti

When transporting an object, we unconsciously adapt our movement to its properties, for instance by slowing down when the item is fragile.

Cognitive architecture aided by working-memory for self-supervised multi-modal humans recognition

no code implementations16 Mar 2021 Jonas Gonzalez-Billandon, Giulia Belgiovine, Alessandra Sciutti, Giulio Sandini, Francesco Rea

The ability to recognize human partners is an important social skill to build personalized and long-term human-robot interactions, especially in scenarios like education, care-giving, and rehabilitation.

Careful with That! Observation of Human Movements to Estimate Objects Properties

no code implementations2 Mar 2021 Linda Lastrico, Alessandro Carfì, Alessia Vignolo, Alessandra Sciutti, Fulvio Mastrogiovanni, Francesco Rea

Our final goal is to enable a robot to autonomously infer the degree of care required in object handling and to discriminate whether the item is light or heavy, just by observing a human manipulation.

Action similarity judgment based on kinematic primitives

no code implementations30 Aug 2020 Vipul Nair, Paul Hemeren, Alessia Vignolo, Nicoletta Noceti, Elena Nicora, Alessandra Sciutti, Francesco Rea, Erik Billing, Francesca Odone, Giulio Sandini

The results show that both the model and human performance are highly accurate in an action similarity task based on kinematic-level features, which can provide an essential basis for classifying human actions.
