Adaptation and coaching of periodic motion primitives through physical and visual interaction

Tadej Petric

In this paper we propose and evaluate a control system to (1) learn and (2) adapt robot motion for continuous non-rigid contact with the environment. We present the approach in the context of wiping surfaces with robots. Our approach is based on learning b ...

Learning Optimal Controllers in Human-robot Cooperative Transportation Tasks with Position and Force Constraints

Sylvain Calinon

Human-robot collaboration seeks to have humans and robots closely interacting in everyday situations. For some tasks, physical contact between the user and the robot may occur, originating significant challenges at safety, cognition, perception and control ...

Contact-based navigation for an autonomous flying robot

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Adrien Briod, Adam Klaptocz, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski, Arnaud Garnier, Marco Pagnamenta

Autonomous navigation in obstacle-dense indoor environments is very challenging for flying robots due to the high risk of collisions, which may lead to mechanical damage of the platform and eventual failure of the mission. While conventional approaches in ...
