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 ...
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 ...
We compare six different algorithms for localizing odor sources with mobile robots. Three algorithms are bio-inspired and mimic the behavior of insects when exposed to airborne pheromones. Two algorithms are based on probability and information theory, and ...
Evolutionary robotics is a promising approach to overcoming the limitations and biases of human designers in producing control strategies for autonomous robots. However, most work in evolutionary robotics remains solely concerned with optimizing control st ...
According to the principles of embodied cognition, intelligent behavior must arise out of the coupled dynamics of an agent's brain, body, and environment. This suggests that the morphological complexity of a robot should scale in relation to the complexity ...
We study how a robot can link concepts represented by adjectives and nouns in language with its own sensorimotor interactions. Specifically, an iCub humanoid robot interacts with a group of objects using a repertoire of manipulation behaviors. The objects ...
We present a novel approach to mobile object manipulation for service in indoor environments. Current research in service robotics focus on single robots able to move, manipulate objects, and transport them to various locations. Our approach differs by tak ...
Evolutionary robotics–the use of evolutionary algorithms to automate the production of autonomous robots–has been an active area of research for two decades. However, previous work in this domain has been limited by the simplicity of the evolved robots and ...
The work of this thesis centers around the research subject of distributed robotic search. Within the field of distributed robotic systems, a task of particular interest is attempting to locate one or more targets in a possibly unknown environment. While n ...
Modular robots offer the possibility to design robots with a high diversity of shapes and functionalities. This nice feature also brings an important challenge: namely how to design efficient locomotion gaits for arbitrary robot structures with many degree ...
