Exploring Transformers and Visual Transformers for Force Prediction in Human-Robot Collaborative Transportation Tasks

In this paper, we analyze the possibilities offered by Deep Learning State-of-the-Art architectures such as Transformers and Visual Transformers in generating a prediction of the human's force in a Human-Robot collaborative object transportation task at a middle distance. We outperform our prev...
