CHIRON Project Workshop 2022

Overview:

The CHIRON project addresses the objective of developing an AI-empowered assistive robotic system for dexterous object manipulation through embodied teleoperation and shared control, without any assumptions about the object to be manipulated and the operating environment. The trilateral research project on AI leverages the expertise of world-class partners to accomplish the required key components. ​ Prof. Chen’s group from France brings their confirmed expertise in computer vision and machine learning for a deep understanding of the scene for object manipulation. The group of Prof. Hasegawa from Japan provides their unique expertise in assistive robotics with an embodiment for augmented human physical skills. Prof. Peters’ team from Germany brings their well-known rich experience in robotic manipulation, including tactile sensing, robotic teleoperation, learning by demonstration, and reinforcement learning.

The scope of this workshop covers, among others, the following significant topics:

  1. Providing an update of the work of the individual project partners;
  2. Enhancing the collaboration and cooperation among the project partners;
  3. Exploring the SOTA in the field of robotic teleoperation and shared control;
  4. Identifying research issues in the field of robotic teleoperation and shared control;
  5. Discussing and defining future research goals and directions for the project.
