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 ...
Robot Learning from Demonstration (RLfD) has been identified as a key element for making robots useful in daily lives. A wide range of techniques has been proposed for deriving a task model from a set of demonstrations of the task. Most previous works use ...
In the last years there has been an increasing interest on using human feedback during robot operation to incorporate non-expert human expertise while learning complex tasks. Most work has considered reinforcement learning frameworks were human feedback, p ...
Programming by Demonstration (PbD) offers a user-friendly way of skill transfer from human to robot. Typically, demonstration data do not contain the control inputs required to reproduce the demonstrated skill. These control commands can be obtained from a ...
Technology is now an important part of our lives. We often see robots cited as the future of education, and reports of their imminent entrance in schools. New projects create buzz in the media and online, but when we look at the actual situation, very few ...
This paper presents an algorithm to calculate mechanical stability margins of a Modular Snake Robot (MSR) during scouting poses. Scouting poses are defined as robot configurations in which one or two of the end modules of the robot are raised up to increas ...
Conventional robot motion teaching methods use a teaching pendant or a motion capture device and are not the most convenient or intuitive ways to teach a robot sophisticated and fluid movements such as martial arts motions. Ideally, a robot could be set up ...
A novel mechanical system, based on a new cable driven mechanical transmission, able to provide sufficient dexterity, stiffness, speed, precision and payload capacity to actuate multi-DOF micro-manipulators. Besides the possibility of being used in several ...
This paper presents a novel semi-autonomous navigation strategy designed for low throughput interfaces. A mobile robot (e.g. intelligent wheelchair) proposes the most probable action, as analyzed from the environment, to a human user who can either accept ...
Humans demonstrate an impressive capability to manipulate fragile objects without damaging them, graciously controlling the force and position of hands or tools. Traditionally, robotics has favored position control over force control to produce fast, accur ...
