Tendon-based underactuated hands are intended to be simple, compliant and affordable. Often, they are 3D printed and do not include tactile sensors. Hence, performing in-hand object recognition with direct touch sensing is not feasible.…
This paper describes the design and evaluation of the vision-based classification of social gestures, such as handshake, hug, high-five, etc. This is a component of the mediated social touch systems, which can be incorporated into…
Over the years, hand gesture recognition has been mostly addressed considering hand trajectories in isolation. However, in most sign languages, hand gestures are defined on a particular context (body region). We propose a pipeline to…
Robot-to-human object handover is an essential skill for robot assistants, from serving drinks at home to passing surgical tools in the operating room. We expect robots to perform handover robustly -- to release the object only after a firm…
