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

Aude Billard, Vaibhav Gupta, Diego Felipe Paez Granados

Large efforts have focused on ensuring that the controllers for mobile service robots follow proxemics and other social rules to ensure both safe and socially acceptable distance to pedestrians. Nonetheless, involuntary contact may be unavoidable when the ...

Closed-Loop Robotic Cooking of Scrambled Eggs with a Salinity-based ‘Taste’Sensor

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Simon Lukas Hauser

The sense of taste is fundamental to a human chef's ability to cook tasty food. To develop robots that can demonstrate human-like cooking, robots need to be equipped with a sense of taste and enabled to use this perception capability to improve or understa ...
