A simple color cue helps people learn to use prosthetic devices
Copied from:https://actu.epfl.ch/news/a-simple-color-cue-helps-people-learn-to-use-pro-2/ Researchers at EPFL show that fewer than 20 training trials with real-time success/failure feedback can significantly improve how people control prostheses, rehabilitation devices, and other motor interfaces. Controlling a robotic arm, a prosthetic hand, or a rehabilitation device is harder than it looks. Picking up an egg, for example, requires just the right […]
“Show, Don’t Tell.” Detecting Novel Objects by Watching Human Demonstrations
Copied from original article: https://rai-inst.com/resources/blog/show-dont-tell-detecting-novel-objects-by-watching-human-demonstrations/ Robot performance is no longer just a matter of hardware and control. Instead, it is limited by cognitive ability to reason and learn about the world or a specific task. For applications that require performance on a broad set of tasks, the key question is how to quickly and easily […]
