Autonomous mobile robots equipped with arms have the potential to be used for automated construction of structures in various sizes and shapes, such as houses or other infrastructures. Existing construction processes, like many other additive manufacturing ...
Tasks routinely executed by humans involve sequences of actions performed with high dexterity and coordination. Fully specifying these actions such that a robot could replicate the task is often difficult. Furthermore the uncertainties introduced by the us ...
This paper addresses the local terrain mapping process for an autonomous robot. Building upon an onboard range measurement sensor and an existing robot pose estimation, we formulate a novel elevation mapping method from a robot-centric perspective. This fo ...
Despite great efforts in designing legged robots, we are still far from the adaptivity, efficiency and robustness with which animals can move. Observations from successful biomimetic designs highlight the significant role of clever morphological design in ...
Agile quadrupedal locomotion in animals and robots is yet to be fully understood, quantified
or achieved. An intuitive notion of agility exists, but neither a concise definition nor a common
benchmark can be found. Further, it is unclear, what minimal leve ...
There is a growing interest in using robots in dangerous environments, such as for exploration, search-and-rescue or monitoring applications, in order to reduce the risks for workers or rescuers and to improve their efficiency. Typically, flying robots off ...
Relative positioning systems play a vital role in current multi-robot systems. We present a self-contained detection and tracking approach, where a robot estimates a distance (range) and an angle (bearing) to another robot using measurements extracted from ...
In this paper we address the automatic synthesis of controllers for the coordinated movement of multiple mobile robots. We use a noise-resistant version of Particle Swarm Optimization to learn in simulation a set of 50 weights of a plastic artificial neura ...
Service robotics is a fast expanding market. Inside households, domestic robots can now accomplish numerous tasks, such as floor cleaning, surveillance, or remote presence. Their sales have considerably increased over the past years. Whereas 1.05 million d ...
In this work we propose an approach for learning task specifications automatically, by observing human demonstrations. Using this allows a robot to combine representations of individual actions to achieve a high-level goal. We hypothesize that task specifi ...
