This paper presents a strategy for providing reliable state estimates that allow a group of robots to realize a formation even when communication fails and the tracking data alone is insufficient for maintaining a stable formation. Furthermore, the trackin ...
We propose a novel approach to establish the relative pose of a mobile robot with respect to an operator that wants to interact with it; we focus on scenarios in which the robot is in the same environment as the operator, and is visible to them. The approa ...
Place recognition is an essential capability for robotic autonomy. While ground robots observe the world from generally similar viewpoints over repeated visits, other robots, such as small aircraft, experience far more different viewpoints, requiring place ...
This article reviews the current state of the art in the development of modular reconfigurable robot (MRR) systems and suggests promising future research directions. A wide variety of MRR systems have been presented to date, and these robots promise to be ...
Insects are a constant source of inspiration for roboticists. Their compliant bodies allow them to squeeze through small openings and be highly resilient to impacts. However, making subgram autonomous soft robots untethered and capable of responding intell ...
Continuum body structures provide unique opportunities for soft robotics, with the infinite degrees of freedom enabling unconstrained and highly adaptive exploration and manipulation. However, the infinite degrees of freedom of continuum bodies makes sensi ...

This paper presents an automatic coupling mechanism with mechanical overload protection for use in modular robotic systems. The genderless coupling incorporates a novel safety mechanism that disengages two modules at a pre-defined torque threshold. Several ...
A sprawled posture amphibious biorobot resembling a salamander had helped us in conquering scientific questions of the locomotion of these animals and offer us with technological possibilities for applications in disaster response. However, so far the foot ...
This project is carried out under the partnership between LMTS and LAI to develop an autonomous micro-robot called DE-Ansect. This low power micro-robot moves thanks to dielectric elastomere actuators. For now the robot follows a black line on the ground. ...
