BACKGROUND Humans have a fantastic ability to manipulate objects of various shapes,
sizes, and materials and can control the objects' position in confined spaces with the …

This article surveys the literature on human–robot object handovers. A handover is a
collaborative joint action, where an agent, the giver, gives an object to another agent, the …

Repetitive industrial tasks can be easily performed by traditional robotic systems. However,
many other works require cognitive knowledge that only humans can provide. Human-Robot …

The human hand is capable of performing countless grasps and gestures that are the basis
for social activities. However, which grasps contribute the most to the manipulation skills …

Modern scenarios in robotics involve human-robot collaboration or robot-robot cooperation
in unstructured environments. In human-robot collaboration, the objective is to relieve …

Human–robot collaboration will be an essential part of the production processes in the
factories of tomorrow. In this paper, a human–robot hand‐over control strategy is presented …

We present the HOH (Human-Object-Human) Handover Dataset, a large object count
dataset with 136 objects, to accelerate data-driven research on handover studies, human …

Humans are highly skilled in communicating their intent for when and where a handover
would occur. However, even the state-of-the-art robotic implementations for handovers …

This work explores social perceptions of robots within the domain of human-to-robot
handovers. Using the Robotic Social Attributes Scale (RoSAS), we explore how users …

We present a system for fast and robust handovers with a robot character, together with a
user study investigating the effect of robot speed and reaction time on perceived interaction …
