In honour of #AdaLovelaceDay, I decided to #opensource some of my #PhD work with NAO ()° .°) and Pepper that didn’t directly make into publications but were used as part of projects and demonstrations. I hope they would be useful for the #HRI community🤖 Links in 🧵👇

Brimming with novel ideas, but misunderstood by reviewers. Sounds familiar. Still, glad to see that the applicants of these rejected proposals still published more.

🔍 Introducing mmPrivPose3D, a privacy-preserving dataset for 3D pose estimation & gesture recognition! Using RaDAR (10 Hz) instead of RGB-D cameras, it captures point-cloud data & synchronized 3D keypoints from 15 participants. Perfect for ML in human-robot safety. 📄 Paper soon

⚠️ Cobots are stuck in the “safe but slow” trap. If they move fast, they aren’t safe. If they’re safe, they aren’t efficient. 🚀 The future? AI-driven perception & real-time sensing for high-speed, cage-free robotics. 🔗 Read: electronicproducts.com/next-gen-senso…
