Analysis and Transfer of Human Movement Manipulability in Industry-like Activities

Sylvain Calinon, Noémie Laure Gwendoline Jaquier

Humans exhibit outstanding learning, planning and adaptation capabilities while performing different types of industrial tasks. Given some knowledge about the task requirements, humans are able to plan their limbs motion in anticipation of the execution of ...

Active Improvement of Control Policies with Bayesian Gaussian Mixture Model

Sylvain Calinon, Noémie Laure Gwendoline Jaquier, Emmanuel Pignat, Hakan Girgin

Learning from demonstration (LfD) is an intuitive framework allowing non-expert users to easily (re-)program robots. However, the quality and quantity of demonstrations have a great influence on the generalization performances of LfD approaches. In this pa ...

Geometry-aware Manipulability Learning, Tracking and Transfer

Sylvain Calinon, Noémie Laure Gwendoline Jaquier

Body posture influences human and robots performance in manipulation tasks, as appropriate poses facilitate motion or force exertion along different axes. In robotics, manipulability ellipsoids arise as a powerful descriptor to analyze, control and design ...

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 ...

Improving the control of prosthetic hands with tactile sensing

Sylvain Calinon, Noémie Laure Gwendoline Jaquier

Despite recent advances in prostheses, intuitive and robust control of poly-articulated prosthetic hands remains an unsolved problem. The TACT-HAND project aims at providing hand amputees with improved dexterous capabilities by exploiting tactile sensing a ...

Combining Electromyography and Tactile Myography to Improve Hand and Wrist Activity Detection in Prostheses

Sylvain Calinon, Noémie Laure Gwendoline Jaquier

Despite recent advances in prosthetics and assistive robotics in general, robust simultaneous and proportional control of dexterous prosthetic devices remains an unsolved problem, mainly because of inadequate sensorization. In this paper, we study the appl ...
