This paper presents dynamic characterization and control of an upper-limb rehabilitation machine aimed at improving robot performance in the interaction with the patient. An integrated approach between mechanics and control is the key issue of the paper fo ...
A method for preparing a topographically structured hydrogel microarray is described comprising the steps of a) providing one or more types of biomolecule(s) on top of micropillars of an array of micropillars, preferably by means of robotical spotting, b) ...
This paper considers the question providing effective feedback of vehicle dynamic forces to a pilot in haptic teleoperation of aerial robots. We claim that the usual state-of-the-art haptic interface, based on research motivated by robotic manipulator slav ...
This paper tackles the problem of multi-robot odor distribution mapping through time series analysis. Considering the conditions of real world environments where the chemical concentration distribution is patchy, intermittent and time-variant, we propose a ...
Searching for olfactory targets with mobile robots has received much attention in the recent years due to its applications in chemical leak detection, environmental monitoring, pollution monitoring, inspection of landfills, and search and rescue operations ...
Localization is one of the key challenges that needs to be considered beforehand to design truly autonomous MAV teams. In this paper, we present a cooperative method to address the localization problem for a team of MAVs, where individuals obtain their pos ...
Miniaturisation will be the key challenge for the next decade in numerous industrial fields, such as microelectronics, optics and biomedical engineering. Although most of their products already achieve footprints of some square millimeters, the trend towar ...
Rigid registration of two geometric data sets is essential in many applications, including robot navigation, surface reconstruction, and shape matching. Most commonly, variants of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm are employed for this task. Thes ...
This paper extends hierarchical task network (HTN) planning with lightweight learning, considering that in robotics, actions have a non-zero probability of failing. Our work applies to A*-based HTN planners with lifting. We prove that the planner finds the ...
While there is a general consensus that autonomous robots should be able to learn continuously over time, the learning process is traditionally envisioned for each specific robot situated in a given environment. This does not consider the fact that robots ...
