This article surveys the literature on human–robot object handovers. A handover is a
collaborative joint action, where an agent, the giver, gives an object to another agent, the …

Human-robot object handovers have been an actively studied area of robotics over the past
decade; however, very few techniques and systems have addressed the challenge of …

Transfer of objects between humans and robots is a critical capability for collaborative
robots. Although there has been a recent surge of interest in human-robot handovers, most …

This work explores social perceptions of robots within the domain of human-to-robot
handovers. Using the Robotic Social Attributes Scale (RoSAS), we explore how users …

While seemingly simple, handover requires joint coordinate efforts from both partners,
commonly in dynamic collaborative scenarios. Practically, humans are able to adapt and …

We present a system for fast and robust handovers with a robot character, together with a
user study investigating the effect of robot speed and reaction time on perceived interaction …

We study human-robot handovers in a naturalistic collaboration scenario, where a mobile
manipulator robot assists a person during a crafting session by providing and retrieving …

A new method to recognize the intention of a human worker while performing a collaborative
task with a robot is proposed. For this purpose, two recurrent neural network (RNN) …

Reasoning about object handover configurations allows an assistive agent to estimate the
appropriateness of handover for a receiver with different arm mobility capacities. While there …

Human–robot handovers constitute a challenging and fundamental aspect of physical
human–robot interaction. This paper describes the design and implementation of a human …
