A virtual data generator system for shape recognition in haptic robotics Open
In robotics, the current state of object recognition in haptic sensory mode falls significantly short of the results obtained in visual mode. One of the main reasons for this is the lack of haptic data sets for training recognition models.…

Social Embeddings: Concept and Initial Investigation Open
We introduce social embeddings as a compact, yet semantics-preserving, mathematical representation of social situations. Social embeddings are constructed by leveraging pre-trained large language models: we automatically generate a textual…
