Heading for the Abyss: Control Strategies for Exploiting Swinging of a Descending Tethered Aerial Robot

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Max Mirko Polzin, Frank Centamori

The use of aerial vehicles for exploration and data collection has the potential to significantly aid environmental monitoring in environments which are dangerous and hard to navigate. However, within these environments navigation can often be restricted b ...

Safety Concerns Emerging from Robots Navigating in Crowded Pedestrian Areas

Aude Billard, Diego Felipe Paez Granados, Pericle Salvini

The slogan “robots will pervade our environment” has become a reality. Drones and ground robots are used for commercial purposes while semi-autonomous driving systems are standard accessories to traditional cars. However, while our eyes have been riveted o ...

Unfreezing Social Navigation: Dynamical Systems based Compliance for Contact Control in Robot Navigation

Aude Billard, Diego Felipe Paez Granados

Soon human-robot interactions in pedestrian areas will be beyond the novelty effect with the deployment of delivery robots, autonomous personal mobility vehicles, and surveillance robots. Proxemics and other social rules guide these interactions, nonethele ...

Distributed Cooperative Localization with Efficient Pairwise Range Measurements

Alcherio Martinoli, Anwar Ahmad Quraishi

We present a method based on covariance intersection for cooperative localization with pairwise range-only relative measurements. Our method was designed for underwater robots equipped with an acoustic communication and ranging system. Range measurements a ...

You Tell, I Do, and We Swap until we Connect All the Gold Mines!

Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Jauwairia Nasir, Utku Norman

The Project JUSThink has a double goal: (i), to help train the Computational Thinking skills of children with a collaborative, robot-mediated activity, (ii), to acquire insights about how children detect and solve misunderstandings, and what keeps them eng ...

Design of Dynamic Tangible Workspaces for Games: Application on Robot-Assisted Upper Limb Rehabilitation

Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Ayberk Özgür, Arzu Güneysu Özgür

A key element for the success of any game is its ability to produce a different experience at each round, thus keeping the player engagement high. This is particularly important for those games that also have a serious objective, such as gamified rehabilit ...

A survey on policy search algorithms for learning robot controllers in a handful of trials

Sylvain Calinon

Most policy search algorithms require thousands of training episodes to find an effective policy, which is often infeasible with a physical robot. This survey article focuses on the extreme other end of the spectrum: how can a robot adapt with only a handf ...
