Research questionHow can a robot distinguish genuine taking intent from accidental contact during object handover?During handover, visual cues and physical contact may indicate either readiness to take an object or an accidental, weak, or misdirected interaction. The robot must identify the right release moment without causing excessive force or releasing prematurely.

Latest papersRecent research connected to this question, newest first.Temporal Tactile Encoding and Compliance for Intent-Aware Robot-to-Human Bimanual HandoverThe source studies a VLA-based system using RGB observations, temporally encoded tactile feedback, and proprioception with a compliance controller. Evidence comes from a human-subject study comparing systems without tactile feedback and without compliance control, using objective measures and an ad-hoc questionnaire.research paper · Sep 4, 2026
