If you think you understand the nature of
human handshake or if you just want to give it a try, please join in the
challenge.
After the tournament, authors of selected proposals will be
invited to submit a manuscript for publication in a special
issue of the IEEE Transactions on Haptics.
The special issue will cover the broad theme of Human-Robot Interaction, and
will be accompanied by an open call, but work originating in the tournament
will be given a special emphasis. The tentative due date for ms
submission is September 2011, to be published in 2012. The call for papers will be officially published at the
IEEE-ToH website in January 2011.

Pre-registration: Please send us a mail that includes the following information by
March 31, 2011 (let us know if you need a few more weeks): · Name(s) · Affiliation · e-mail · Research field · A title of the proposed handshake · An abstract or a ms about the main idea of the proposed handshake algorithm · A force function file (the submission selected for the tournament will be allowed to update their functions after a pilot test by the organizers) |
|
More details about the methods to implement the force function are available in two pdf files of Tournament instructions and installation guide and in our related publications. |
Examples of one dimensional human
handshake data is available in this zip file,
as described in this doc file.
Depending on the number of submissions, we may filter the submissions based on the abstracts.
Then we will conduct the Tournament, namely select a large number of random pairs of models, as well as models and humans and invite many people (at least 5) to shake and answer which handshake is more human like
The models with highest scores will move to the next step in which we will calculate the Model Human Likeness Grade (MHLG) of each model in a few methods to select the winner or winners which are significantly better than the others.
Thank you for taking interest
in the competition. We are looking forward to shaking hands with you!
