چکیده

In human grasping, choices are made on the use of hand-parts even before a grasp is realized. The human associates these choices with end-functionality and is confident that the resulting grasp will be able to meet task requirements.We refer to these choices on the use of hand-parts underlying grasp formation as the grasp intention. Modeling the grasp intention offers a paradigm whereby decisions underlying grasp formation may be related to the functional properties of the realized grasp in terms of quantities which may be sensed/recognized or controlled. In this paper we model grasp intention as mix of oppositions between hand parts. Sub-parts of the hand acting in opposition to each other are viewed as a basis from which grasps are formed. We compute a set of such possible oppositions and determine the most likely combination from the raw information present in a demonstrated grasp. An intermediate representation of raw sensor data exposes interactions between elementary grasping surfaces. From this, the most likely combination of oppositions is inferred. Grasping experiments with humans show that the proposed approach is robust enough to correctly capture the intention in demonstrated grasps across a wide range of hand functionality. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

A Hidden Markov Model Based Sensor Fusion Approach for Recognizing Continuous Human Grasping Sequences

The Programming by Demonstration (PbD) technique aims at teaching a robot to accomplish a task by learning from a human demonstration. In a manipulation context, recognizing the demonstrator's hand gestures, specifically when and how objects are grasped, plays a significant role. Here, a system is presented that uses both hand shape and contact point information obtained from a data glove and t...

A Framework for Recognizing Grasps

Many of the tasks that are potential candidates for automation involve grasping. We are interested in the programming of robots to perform grasping tasks. To do this, we propose the notion of “perceptual programming,” where the key idea is to enable a system to observe a human performing a task, understand it, and perform the task with minimal human intervention. This allows the programmer to e...

Understanding users intention: programming fine manipulation tasks by demonstration

The Programming by Demonstration (PbD) paradigm enable programming of service robots by unexperienced human users. The main goal of these systems is to allow the unexperienced human user to easily integrate motion and perception skills or complex problem solving strategies. Unfortunately actual PbD systems are dealing only with manipulations based on Pick & Place operations. For complex service...

Toward automatic robot instruction from perception-mapping human grasps to manipulator grasps

Conventional methods for programming a robot either are inflexible or demand significant expertise. While the notion of automatic programming by high-level goal specification addresses these issues, the overwhelming complexity of planning manipulator grasps and paths remains a formidable obstacle to practical implementation. Our approach of programming a robot is by direct human demonstration. ...
