• Abstract summary: We consider three subtasks for a given physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) task: Idle, Driving, and Contact. Based on this classification, the parameters of an admittance controller that regulates the interaction between human and robot are adjusted adaptively in real time. Experimental results have shown that the ANN model can learn to detect the subtasks under different admittance controller conditions with an accuracy of 98% for 12 participants.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a supervised learning approach based on an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for real-time classification of subtasks in a physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) task involving contact with a stiff environment. In this regard, we consider three subtasks for a given pHRI task: Idle, Driving, and Contact. Based on this classification, the parameters of an admittance controller that regulates the interaction between human and robot are adjusted adaptively in real time to make the robot more transparent to the operator (i.e. less resistant) during the Driving phase and more stable during the Contact phase. The Idle phase is primarily used to detect the initiation of task. Experimental results have shown that the ANN model can learn to detect the subtasks under different admittance controller conditions with an accuracy of 98% for 12 participants. Finally, we show that the admittance adaptation based on the proposed subtask classifier leads to 20% lower human effort (i.e. higher transparency) in the Driving phase and 25% lower oscillation amplitude (i.e. higher stability) during drilling in the Contact phase compared to an admittance controller with fixed parameters.

  We introduce a novel system for joint learning between human operators and robots. It enables human operators to share control of a robot end-effector with a learned assistive agent. It reduces the need for human adaptation while ensuring the collected data is of sufficient quality for downstream tasks.

  This study presents a transformer-based framework for automatically assessing dysarthria severity from raw speech data.

Our model demonstrated superior performance over traditional machine learning approaches, with an accuracy of $70.48%$ and an F1 score of $59.23%$.

  We propose a novel unsupervised domain adaptation framework which can simultaneously transfer multi-modality knowledge, i.e., both kinematic and visual data, from simulator to real robot. It remedies the domain gap with enhanced transferable features by using temporal cues in videos, and inherent correlations in multi-modal towards recognizing gesture. Results show that our approach recovers the performance with great improvement gains, up to 12.91% in ACC and 20.16% in F1score without using any annotations in real robot.
