Learning potential functions from human demonstrations with encapsulated dynamic and compliant behaviors
We consider the problem of devising a unified control policy capable of regulating both the robot motion and its physical interaction with the environment. We formulate this control policy by a non-parametric ...

A Depth Space Approach for Evaluating Distance to Objects
We present a novel approach to estimate the distance between a generic point in the Cartesian space and objects detected with a depth sensor. This information is crucial in many robotic applications, e.g., for...

Simulating the task-level control of human motion: a methodology and framework for implementation
A task-level control framework is proposed for providing feedback control in the simulation of goal-directed human motion. An operational space approach, adapted from the field of robotics, is used for this pu...
