A-Human – Wokshop ICRA2024

IEEE ICRA2024 full-day workshop

A-HUMAN – Advanced human-robot interfaces

based on physiological signals and sensory stimulations

May 13, 2024, Yokohama, Japan

The workshop will take place in Room G401, Area North, PACIFICO Yokohama

Objectives

Robotics is currently tackling new challenges for improved interaction with humans, in which effective human-robot communication becomes fundamental, and (bi-directional) human-robot interfaces based on physiological signals and sensory stimulations offer the potential for natural and intuitive human-in-the-loop control of robots, facilitating transfer of skills and co-adaptation.

Physiological signals convey information on human motor and/or cognitive processes and are typically processed using machine learning to estimate human intentions for robot control. Sensory stimulations inform the user about the robot’s state and sensor readings to improve human-in-the-loop performance, even up to reestablishing sensory experiences in impaired subjects. However, numerous challenges remain open, regarding reliability and decoding of physiological measurements, synthesis and application of sensory stimulations, and design of shared autonomy and adaptive human-robot systems.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists from academia, as well as experts from companies, that carry out research at the intersection of robotics, neuroscience, and biomechanics. Participants will have the opportunity to share their latest advancements and perspectives concerning human-robot interfaces based on physiological signals and sensory stimulations for a diverse range of applications, including telemanipulation, prosthetics, rehabilitative and assistive robotics, human power augmentation, wearable robotics, collaborative robotics, and programming-by-demonstration.
