Our work on human-robot interaction presented on IROS 2011 was depicted in the online version of IEEE Spectrum and in the Brazilian newspaper Estado de São Paulo. It was a collaborative work between Bruno V. Adorno, Philippe Fraisse, and myself. Below you may access both articles.
Human-robot colaboration: first tests with HOAP3

Some results obtained in a human-robot colaboration experiment. All tasks were executed using the cooperative dual task-space framework proposed by Bruno Adorno and Philippe Fraisse. The setup included a HOAP3 humanoid robot, an easyTrack 500 optical tracking system, and real-time visualization.
Towards a cooperative framework for interactive manipulation involving a human and a humanoid

This is the video accompanying the paper entitled "Towards a Cooperative Framework for Interactive Manipulation Involving a Human and a Humanoid" (ICRA2011).
In the paper, the interaction is represented by means of the relative configuration between the human's and the robot's hands. Based on this principle and a set of mathematical tools also proposed in the paper, a large set of tasks can be represented intuitively. The concept of simultaneous handling using mirrored movements, where the human controls the robot and simultaneously interacts with it by means of a common manipulated object, is also introduced.
