Systems and methods for tactile gesture interpretation
TL;DRA robot handing an object to a person probes how firmly they hold it, and lets go only once the grip is stiff enough.
Abstract
A method for controlling a robot to hand an object to a receiver. The robot presents the object, applies small probing motions to estimate the stiffness of the receiver’s grip from the measured response of the object, and decides whether to release the object based on that stiffness.
