Rewards-driven control of robot arm by decoding EEG signals

Aude Billard, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ajay Kumar Tanwani

Decoding the user intention from non-invasive EEG signals is a challenging problem. In this paper, we study the feasibility of predicting the goal for controlling the robot arm in self-paced reaching movements, i.e., spontaneous movements that do not requi ...

Towards Dynamic Trot Gait Locomotion—Design, Control and Experiments with Cheetah-cub, a Compliant Quadruped Robot

Auke Ijspeert, Massimo Vespignani, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Alexandre Tuleu

We present robot design and results from locomotion experiments with a novel, compliant quadruped robot: Cheetah-cub. The robot's leg configuration is based on a spring-loaded, panthograph-mechanism with multiple segments. A dedicated open-loop, joint-spac ...

Coupled dynamical system based arm-hand grasping model for learning fast adaptation strategies

Aude Billard, Ashwini Shukla

Performing manipulation tasks interactively in real environments requires a high degree of accuracy and stability. At the same time, when one cannot assume a fully deterministic and static environment, one must endow the robot with the ability to react rap ...

Small active medical robot and passive holding structure

Charles Baur, Michael Sigrist, Szymon Kostrzewski, Pascal Bérard

The robotic system, for example for medical applications, comprises a passive holding structure with a large working volume and a robot holding at least a tool, said robot having a small and accurate working volume. ...

A Dynamical System-based Approach to Modeling Stable Robot Control Policies via Imitation Learning

Despite tremendous advances in robotics, we are still amazed by the proficiency with which humans perform movements. Even new waves of robotic systems still rely heavily on hardcoded motions with a limited ability to react autonomously and robustly to a dy ...

An Overview of 3D Object Grasp Synthesis Algorithms

Sahar El Khoury

This overview presents computational algorithms for generating 3D object grasps with autonomous multi-fingered robotic hands. Robotic grasping has been an active research subject for decades, and a great deal of effort has been spent on grasp synthesis alg ...

Motion Teaching Method for Complex Robot Links Using Motor Current

Jamie Paik

Conventional robot motion teaching methods use a teaching pendant or a motion capture device and are not the most convenient or intuitive ways to teach a robot sophisticated and fluid movements such as martial arts motions. Ideally, a robot could be set up ...

Non-iterative data-driven controller tuning with guaranteed stability: Application to direct-drive pick-and-place robot

Dominique Bonvin, Alireza Karimi, Klaske van Heusden

This paper illustrates the practical application of non-iterative correlation- based tuning with guaranteed stability. In this method, a sufficient condition for closed-loop stability is defined as the H infinity-norm of a particular error function. This n ...

How robot morphology and training order affect the learning of multiple behaviors

Joshua Evan Auerbach

Automatically synthesizing behaviors for robots with articulated bodies poses a number of challenges beyond those encountered when generating behaviors for simpler agents. One such challenge is how to optimize a controller that can orchestrate dynamic moti ...

Self-Assembly from Milli- to Nanoscales: Methods and Applications

Massimo Mastrangeli

The design and fabrication techniques for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanodevices are progressing rapidly. However, due to material and process flow incompatibilities in the fabrication of sensors, actuators and electronic circuitry, a final ...
