A geometric optimal control approach for imitation and generalization of manipulation skills

Sylvain Calinon, Amirreza Razmjoo Fard, Jie Zhao

Daily manipulation tasks are characterized by regular features associated with the task structure, which can be described by multiple geometric primitives related to actions and object shapes. Only using Cartesian coordinate systems cannot fully represent ...

Protein Dielectrophoresis with Gradient Array of Conductive Electrodes Sheds New Light on Empirical Theory

Olivier Martin, Siarhei Zavatski

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a versatile tool for the precise microscale manipulation of a broad range of substances. To unleash the full potential of DEP for the manipulation of complex molecular-sized particulates such as proteins requires the development ...

Geometric Algebra for Optimal Control With Applications in Manipulation Tasks

Sylvain Calinon, Tobias Löw

Many problems in robotics are fundamentally problems of geometry, which have led to an increased research effort in geometric methods for robotics in recent years. The results were algorithms using the various frameworks of screw theory, Lie algebra, and d ...

Emotional empathy and engineering students’moral reasoning

Roland John Tormey, Nihat Kotluk

Although engineering education is often characterized as a rational activity, research suggests that emotions are vital for learning at all levels of education. In ethics education, there is evidence that including mild emotional information in case studie ...

Machiavellian males with high emotional intelligence exhibit fewer depressive symptoms

Bruno Lemaitre

Research on the link between Machiavellianism and depression has yielded equivocal results. In this study, we examined the possible moderating role of ability emotional intelligence (a-EI) on the Machiavellianism-depression relationship. a-EI was approache ...

ManiGaze: a Dataset for Evaluating Remote Gaze Estimator in Object Manipulation Situations

Jean-Marc Odobez, Rémy Alain Siegfried, Bozorgmehr Aminian

Gaze estimation allows robots to better understand users and thus to more precisely meet their needs. In this paper, we are interested in gaze sensing for analyzing collaborative tasks and manipulation behaviors in human-robot interactions (HRI), which dif ...

Robot skills learning with Riemannian manifolds: Leveraging geometry-awareness in robot learning, optimization and control

Noémie Laure Gwendoline Jaquier

Humans exhibit outstanding learning and adaptation capabilities while performing various types of manipulation tasks. When learning new skills, humans are able to extract important information by observing examples of a task and efficiently refine a priori ...

A Dynamical System Approach for Adaptive Grasping, Navigation and Co-Manipulation with Humanoid Robots

Aude Billard, Salman Faraji, Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez, Mikhail Koptev

In this paper, we present an integrated approach that provides compliant control of an iCub humanoid robot and adaptive reaching, grasping, navigating and co-manipulating capabilities. We use state-dependent dynamical systems (DS) to (i) coordinate and dri ...

Learning from demonstration for semi-autonomous teleoperation

Sylvain Calinon

Teleoperation in domains such as deep-sea or space often requires the completion of a set of recurrent tasks. We present a framework that uses a probabilistic approach to learn from demonstration models of manipulation tasks. We show how such a framework c ...

Combined Rehabilitation Promotes the Recovery of Structural and Functional Features of Healthy Neuronal Networks after Stroke

Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai, Francesco Saverio Pavone

Rehabilitation is considered the most effective treatment for promoting the recovery of motor deficits after stroke. One of the most challenging experimental goals is to unambiguously link brain rewiring to motor improvement prompted by rehabilitative ther ...

Fast and ultrafast electron microscopies for skyrmions and plasmonics

Gabriele Berruto

In recent years, topology gained a central role in physics. We learnt that energetics could be often explained better by classes of objects defined by having qualitative differences. In today's jargon, we say they are topologically distinct. The process of ...

Intraneural sensory feedback restores grip force control and motor coordination while using a prosthetic hand

Silvestro Micera, Francesco Maria Petrini, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Iberite

Objective. Tactile afferents in the human hand provide fundamental information about hand-environment interactions, which is used by the brain to adapt the motor output to the physical properties of the object being manipulated. A hand amputation disrupts ...

Frontal cortical thickness correlates positively with impulsivity in early psychosis male patients

Alessandra Griffa, Kim Do

Aim Impulsive behaviours, which are frequent in young people suffering from psychosis have been linked to risky and violent behaviours and participate to the burden of psychotic illness. Given that morphological brain correlates of impulsivity in schizophr ...

Automatic extraction of constraints in manipulation tasks for autonomy and interaction

Ana-Lucia Ureche

Tasks routinely executed by humans involve sequences of actions performed with high dexterity and coordination. Fully specifying these actions such that a robot could replicate the task is often difficult. Furthermore the uncertainties introduced by the us ...

A Brief Survey on the Role of Dimensionality Reduction in Manipulation Learning and Control

Sylvain Calinon

Bio-inspired designs are motivated by efficiency, adaptability and robustness of biological systems dynamic behaviors in complex environment. Despite progress in design, the lack of sensory-motor and learning capabilities is the main drawback of human-like ...
