• Abstract: This study uses multisensory data (i.e., color and depth) to recognize human actions in the context of multimodal human-robot interaction. Here we employed the iCub robot to observe the predefined actions of the human partners by using four different tools on 20 objects. We show that the proposed multimodal ensemble learning leverages complementary characteristics of three color cameras and one depth sensor that improves, in most cases, recognition accuracy compared to the models trained with a single modality. The results indicate that the proposed models can be deployed on the iCub robot that requires multimodal action recognition, including social tasks such as partner-specific adaptation, and contextual behavior understanding, to mention a few.

  Humans inherently possess generalizable visual representations that empower them to efficiently explore and interact with the environments in manipulation tasks. We formalize this idea through the lens of human-oriented multi-task fine-tuning on top of pre-trained visual encoders. Our Task Fusion Decoder consistently improves the representation of three state-of-the-art visual encoders for downstream manipulation policy-learning.

  We implement a multimodal human-robot interaction (HRI) scenario, in which a simulated robot communicates with its human partner through speech and gestures. The human partner, in turn, evaluates whether the robot's verbal announcement (intention) matches the action (pointing gesture) chosen by the robot. In intrinsic evaluations of robot actions by humans, evident in the EEG, were recorded in real time, continuously segmented online and classified asynchronously.

  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 intended. We pose the handover gesture recognition as a binary classification problem in a single RGB image. Our results show that the handover gestures are correctly identified with an accuracy of over 90%.
