The original invited speaker was Antonio Bicchi. Unfortunately, due to a scheduling conflict, Antonio cannot attend RSS. Oliver will therefore present a talk he co-authored together with Antonio Bicchi. |

Human Perception
Yes, the real Michael Arbib, no kidding! His research focuses on the coordination of percption and action. He has made seminal contributions to neural networks, discovered mirror neurons, did pioneering work on affordance that greatly influenced the use of this concept in robotics, just to name a few things. So, together with Marco Santello, we may have united in this workshop the two neuroscientists with the biggest impact on robotics. |

Robotic Perception

The workshop takes places on Saturyday, July 12, 2014 in room 210 Wheeler. It is structured around 3 pairs of invited presentations, each pair consisting of a human and a robot side. The topics for the three pairs will be a) hands, b) grasping, c) perception. Following each pair of invited talks, there will be a discussion session on the corresponding topic. After the presentation/discussion sessions, there will be a panel discussion. The workshop will close with a poster session under the theme “Novel Directions in Grasping and Manipulation”.

List of questions to be discussed:
-
What kind of knowledge representation do we need to efficiently capture the understanding of the world?
-
How can we exploit human knowledge in an efficient way as a teaching tool?
-
Are we currently exploiting all the capabilities of the robotic hardware that we have, or the limitations that we experience come more from the sensing/ planning/ control/ execution/ supervision side?
-
How much should we rely on sensorial vs a-priori information?
-
Is machine learning the new paradigm for robotic manipulation?
-
Do we really need grasp/manipulation.task planning, or we can create a more natural robot-environment interaction?
-
What type of benchmarking do we need to compare advances in robotic manipulation?
