Avian-Inspired Claws Enable Robot Perching or Walking

Dario Floreano, Won Dong Shin, Mohammad Askari

Multimodal unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are rarely capable of more than two modalities, i.e., flying and walking or flying and perching. However, being able to fly, perch, and walk could further improve their usefulness by expanding their operating enve ...

You Tell, I Do, and We Swap until we Connect All the Gold Mines!

Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Jauwairia Nasir, Utku Norman

The Project JUSThink has a double goal: (i), to help train the Computational Thinking skills of children with a collaborative, robot-mediated activity, (ii), to acquire insights about how children detect and solve misunderstandings, and what keeps them eng ...

A dynamical system approach for detection and reaction to human guidance in physical human-robot interaction

Aude Billard, Mahdi Khoramshahi

A seamless interaction requires two robotic behaviors: the leader role where the robot rejects the external perturbations and focuses on the autonomous execution of the task, and the follower role where the robot ignores the task and complies with human in ...

SPRINGER2020

The use of robots in search and rescue is gaining particular interest, but singular skills are required to ensure efficient deployments in real missions. To face this problem, there is a need to develop more intuitive control interfaces. Moreover, to ensur ...

Designing Human Assisted Wireless Sensor and Robot Networks Using Probabilistic Model Checking

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have a wide variety of applications in environment monitoring (such as air pollution and fire detection), industrial operations (such as machine surveillance), and precision agriculture. It is an arduous task to manage a lar ...

A Dynamical System Approach to Motion and Force Generation in Contact Tasks

Aude Billard, Mahdi Khoramshahi, Walid Amanhoud

Many tasks require the robot to enter in contact with surfaces, be it to take support, to polish or to grasp an object. It is crucial that the robot controls forces both upon making contact and while in contact. While many solutions exist to control for co ...

Experimental indoors localization using distance measurements obtained from visual data

Yuan Yao

In recent years, the emergence of artificial intelligence increases the demand of automatic and robust localization outdoors and indoors. While GPS provides enough accuracy in most outdoor cases, there is still a lack of robust and efficient indoor localiz ...

An Information Gain Formulation for Active Volumetric 3D Reconstruction

Davide Scaramuzza

We consider the problem of next-best view selection for volumetric reconstruction of an object by a mobile robot equipped with a camera. Based on a probabilistic volumetric map that is built in real time, the robot can quantify the expected information gai ...

From Real-time Attention Assessment to “With-me-ness” in Human-Robot Interaction

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan, Alexis David Jacq, Fernando Garcia

Measuring ``how much the human is in the interaction'' -- the level of engagement -- is instrumental in building effective interactive robots. Engagement, however, is a complex, multi-faceted cognitive mechanism that is only indirectly observable. This art ...
