Image-driven Robot Drawing with Rapid Lognormal Movements
Large image generation and vision models, combined with differentiable rendering technologies, have become powerful tools for generating paths that can be drawn or painted by a robot. However, these tools often overlook the intrinsic physicality of the human drawing/writing act, which is usually executed with skillful hand/arm gestures. Taking this into account is important for the visual aesthetics of the results and for the development of closer and more intuitive artist-robot collaboration scenarios. We present a method that bridges this gap by enabling gradient-based optimization of natural human-like motions guided by cost functions defined in image space. To this end, we use the sigma-lognormal model of human hand/arm movements, with an adaptation that enables its use in conjunction with a differentiable vector graphics (DiffVG) renderer. We demonstrate how this pipeline can be used to generate feasible trajectories for a robot by combining image-driven objectives with a minimum-time smoothing criterion. We demonstrate applications with generation and robotic reproduction of synthetic graffiti as well as image abstraction.

iDeLog: Iterative Dual Spatial and Kinematic Extraction of Sigma-Lognormal Parameters
The Kinematic Theory of rapid movements and its associated Sigma-Lognormal model have been extensively used in a large variety of applications. While the physical and biological meaning of the model have been widely test…
Uniform vs. Lognormal Kinematics in Robots: Perceptual Preferences for Robotic Movements
Collaborative robots or cobots interact with humans in a common work environment. In cobots, one under investigated but important issue is related to their movement and how it is perceived by humans. This paper tries to …
