• Abstract: Human activity recognition (HAR) using machine learning has shown tremendous promise in detecting construction workers' activities. HAR has many applications in human-robot interaction research to enable robots' understanding of human counterparts' activities. However, many existing HAR approaches lack robustness, generalizability, and adaptability. This paper proposes a transfer learning methodology for activity recognition of construction workers that requires orders of magnitude less data and compute time for comparable or better classification accuracy. The developed algorithm transfers features from a model pre-trained by the original authors and fine-tunes them for the downstream task of activity recognition in construction. The model was pre-trained on Kinetics-400, a large-scale video-based human activity recognition dataset with 400 distinct classes. The model was fine-tuned and tested using videos captured from manual material handling (MMH) activities found on YouTube. Results indicate that the fine-tuned model can recognize distinct MMH tasks in a robust and adaptive manner which is crucial for the widespread deployment of collaborative robots in construction.

  We propose a model-based reinforcement learning (RL) approach for robotic arm end-tasks. We employ Bayesian neural network models to represent, in a probabilistic way, both the belief and information encoded in the dynamic model during exploration. Our experiments show the advantages of our Bayesian model-based RL approach, with similar quality in the results than relevant alternatives.

  CHARM is a hierarchical deep learning model for classification of complex human activities using motion sensors. It outperforms state-of-the-art supervised learning approaches for high-level activity recognition in terms of average accuracy and F1 scores. The ability to learn low-level user activities when trained using only high-level activity labels may pave the way to semi-supervised learning of HAR tasks.

  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.
