Extending 3D body pose estimation for robotic-assistive therapies of autistic children

no code implementations12 Feb 2024 Laura Santos, Bernardo Carvalho, Catarina Barata, José Santos-Victor

In real-world settings, the proposed model performs similarly to a Kinect depth camera and manages to successfully estimate the 3D body poses in a much higher number of frames.

Gaussian Mixture Models for Affordance Learning using Bayesian Networks

no code implementations8 Feb 2024 Pedro Osório, Alexandre Bernardino, Ruben Martinez-Cantin, José Santos-Victor

Affordances are fundamental descriptors of relationships between actions, objects and effects.

Robotic Learning the Sequence of Packing Irregular Objects from Human Demonstrations

1 code implementation4 Oct 2022 André Santos, Nuno Ferreira Duarte, Atabak Dehban, José Santos-Victor

The human demonstrations were collected using our proposed VR platform, BoxED, which is a box packaging environment for simulating real-world objects and scenarios for fast and streamlined data collection with the purpose of teaching robots.

Action-conditioned Benchmarking of Robotic Video Prediction Models: a Comparative Study

1 code implementation7 Oct 2019 Manuel Serra Nunes, Atabak Dehban, Plinio Moreno, José Santos-Victor

In contrast, we argue that if these systems are to be used to guide action, necessarily, the actions the robot performs should be encoded in the predicted frames.

Learning at the Ends: From Hand to Tool Affordances in Humanoid Robots

no code implementations9 Apr 2018 Giovanni Saponaro, Pedro Vicente, Atabak Dehban, Lorenzo Jamone, Alexandre Bernardino, José Santos-Victor

One of the open challenges in designing robots that operate successfully in the unpredictable human environment is how to make them able to predict what actions they can perform on objects, and what their effects will be, i. e., the ability to perceive object affordances.

Anticipation in Human-Robot Cooperation: A Recurrent Neural Network Approach for Multiple Action Sequences Prediction

1 code implementation28 Feb 2018 Paul Schydlo, Mirko Rakovic, Lorenzo Jamone, José Santos-Victor

Recent approaches based on neural networks have led to encouraging results in the human action prediction problem both in continuous and discrete spaces.

Language Bootstrapping: Learning Word Meanings From Perception-Action Association

1 code implementation27 Nov 2017 Giampiero Salvi, Luis Montesano, Alexandre Bernardino, José Santos-Victor

The model is based on an affordance network, i. e., a mapping between robot actions, robot perceptions, and the perceived effects of these actions upon objects.
