A Stable Adaptive Extended Kalman Filter for Estimating Robot Manipulators Link Velocity and Acceleration

One can estimate the velocity and acceleration of robot manipulators by utilizing nonlinear observers. This involves combining inertial measurement units (IMUs) with the motor encoders of the robot through a model-based sensor fusion technique. This approa ...

Real-Time Dance Generation to Music for a Legged Robot

Marco Hutter

The development of robots that can dance has received considerable attention. However, they are often either limited to a pre-defined set of movements and music or demonstrate little variance when reacting to external stimuli, such as microphone or camera ...

Towards a Passive Adaptive Planar Foot with Ground Orientation and Contact Force Sensing for Legged Robots

Laura Isabel Paez Coy, Marco Hutter, Klajd Lika

Adapting to the ground enables stable footholds in legged locomotion by exploiting the structure of the terrain. On that account, we present a passive adaptive planar foot with three rotational degrees of freedom that is lightweight and thus suited for hig ...

From High-Level to Low-Level Robot Learning of Complex Tasks: Leveraging Priors, Metrics and Dynamical Systems

Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez

Humans have a remarkable way of learning, adapting and mastering new manipulation tasks. With the current advances in Machine Learning (ML), the promise of having robots with such capabilities seems to be on the cusp of reality. Transferring human-level sk ...

Closed-Loop Haptic Feedback Control Using a Self-Sensing Soft Pneumatic Actuator Skin

Stéphanie Lacour, Jamie Paik, Harshal Arun Sonar, Aaron Powers Gerratt

In this article, we achieve a closed-loop control over haptic feedback, first time for an entirely soft platform. We prototyped a novel self-sensing soft pneumatic actuator (SPA) with soft strain sensors, called SPA-skin, which withstands large multiaxial ...

Computational Design of Deployable Auxetic Shells

Mark Pauly, Mina Konakovic Lukovic

We propose an interactive computational design method for deployable auxetic shells. We realize deployable auxetics as triangular linkages that can be actuated with simple expansive mechanisms to assume a desired freeform target shape. The core feature of ...

Learning adaptive dressing assistance from human demonstration

Sylvain Calinon, Emmanuel Pignat

For tasks such as dressing assistance, robots should be able to adapt to different user morphologies, preferences and requirements. We propose a programming by demonstration method to efficiently learn and adapt such skills. Our method encodes sensory info ...

Autonomous Learning of Internal Dynamic Models for Reaching Tasks

Auke Ijspeert, Tadej Petric

The paper addresses the problem of learning internal task-specific dynamic models for a reaching task. Using task-specific dynamic models is crucial for achieving both high tracking accuracy and compliant behaviour, which improves safety concerns while wor ...
