Research paper thumbnail of Study of Kinesthetic Negotiation Ability in Lightweight Comanipulative Decision-making Tasks: Design and Study of a Virtual Partner based on Human-human Interaction Observation

ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction, 2022

The results of this experiment show that humans are able to handle asymmetrical information about the task and solve conflicts using only the kinesthetic channel. Data from the pHHI experiment is used to design a virtual partner that can perform the task alongside a human. The virtual partner behavior is based on the observation that initiative is highly correlated to decision-making in our pHHI negotiation scenario. The virtual agent is then evaluated in a physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI) experiment. The results of the second experiment show that the virtual partner is able to perform the task without compromising the performances of the dyad and that a similar role distribution is observed in human-human and human-robot dyads. Moreover, the knowledge of the partner’s na...

The design of this device focuses on realizing a low-cost controller able to obtain good real-time performances for the acquisition of physical data during the interaction. Design choices and hardware used are presented, as well as the control strategy used for attaining transparency in teleoperation. The controller is able to maintain a 5kHz frequency control for the teleoperation, running on a BeagleBone black motherboard. The performances of the interface are presented

The results of this experiment confirm the existence of an haptic communication between humans during low-impedance tasks. Data from the pHHI experiment is used to design a virtual partner which can collaborate with humans on the same task. The virtual partner behavior is based on the observation that initiative is highly correlated to decision-making in pHHI. The virtual agent is then evaluated in a physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI) experiment. The results of the second experiment show that the virtual partner is able to perform the task without compromising the performances of the dyad, and that a similar role distribution is observed in human-human and human-robot dyads. Moreover, the knowledge of the partner’s nature does not seem to influence the performances. The results obtained with the virtual partner are en...

Research paper thumbnail of Haptic communication optimises joint decisions and affords implicit confidence sharing

Scientific Reports, 2021

Group decisions can outperform the choices of the best individual group members. Previous researc... more Group decisions can outperform the choices of the best individual group members. Previous research suggested that optimal group decisions require individuals to communicate explicitly (e.g., verbally) their confidence levels. Our study addresses the untested hypothesis that implicit communication using a sensorimotor channel—haptic coupling—may afford optimal group decisions, too. We report that haptically coupled dyads solve a perceptual discrimination task more accurately than their best individual members; and five times faster than dyads using explicit communication. Furthermore, our computational analyses indicate that the haptic channel affords implicit confidence sharing. We found that dyads take leadership over the choice and communicate their confidence in it by modulating both the timing and the force of their movements. Our findings may pave the way to negotiation technologies using fast sensorimotor communication to solve problems in groups.

Research paper thumbnail of Intention Prediction and Human Health Condition Detection in Reaching Tasks with Machine Learning Techniques

Sensors

Detecting human motion and predicting human intentions by analyzing body signals are challenging ... more Detecting human motion and predicting human intentions by analyzing body signals are challenging but fundamental steps for the implementation of applications presenting human–robot interaction in different contexts, such as robotic rehabilitation in clinical environments, or collaborative robots in industrial fields. Machine learning techniques (MLT) can face the limit of small data amounts, typical of this kind of applications. This paper studies the illustrative case of the reaching movement in 10 healthy subjects and 21 post-stroke patients, comparing the performance of linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and random forest (RF) in: (i) predicting the subject’s intention of moving towards a specific direction among a set of possible choices, (ii) detecting if the subject is moving according to a healthy or pathological pattern, and in the case of discriminating the damage location (left or right hemisphere). Data were captured with wearable electromagnetic sensors, and a sub-sectio...
