When humans socially interact with another agent (e.g., human, pet, or robot) through touch, they do so by applying varying amounts of force with different directions, locations, contact areas, and durations. While previous work on touch…
Human-to-Robot handovers are useful for many Human-Robot Interaction scenarios. It is important to recognize when a human intends to initiate handovers, so that the robot does not try to take objects from humans when a handover is not…
