A New Localization Objective for Accurate Fine-Grained Affordance Segmentation Under High-Scale Variations

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Fine-grained affordance segmentation for object parts can greatly benefit robotics and scene understanding applications. In this work, we propose an instance-segmentation framework that can accurately localize functionality and affordance of individual ...

open access: yes, 2015
We consider the use of physical and virtual objects having one or more affordances associated to simple interactions with them. Based on Kaptelinin and Nardi’s notion of instrumental affordance, we investigate what it means to break an affordance, and the two ensuing questions we deem most important: how users may (i) achieve their goals in the ...

One-Shot Transfer of Affordance Regions? AffCorrs! [PDF]

open access: yesConference on Robot Learning, 2022
In this work, we tackle one-shot visual search of object parts. Given a single reference image of an object with annotated affordance regions, we segment semantically corresponding parts within a target scene.

Affordance Learning from Play for Sample-Efficient Policy Learning [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2022
Robots operating in human-centered environments should have the ability to understand how objects function: what can be done with each object, where this interaction may occur, and how the object is used to achieve a goal. To this end, we propose a novel

Nested affordance-based intuitive design tool: Affordance interaction matrix

open access: yesCogent Engineering, 2023
Affordances serve as design cues, facilitating users in effortlessly identifying the intended use of objects. However, due to the phenomenological nature of the affordance concept, its application and understanding in the human-computer interaction (HCI)
