Joining high-level symbolic planning with low-level motion primitives in adaptive HRI: application to dressing assistance

Sylvain Calinon, Emmanuel Pignat

For a safe and successful daily living assistance, far from the highly controlled environment of a factory, robots should be able to adapt to ever-changing situations. Programming such a robot is a tedious process that requires expert knowledge. An alterna ...

A Framework for Coupled Simulations of Robots and Spiking Neuronal Networks

Marc-Oliver Gewaltig, Egidio Falotico, Lorenzo Vannucci, Georg Hinkel, Stefan Ulbrich, Nino Cauli, Oliver Denninger, Henning Groenda

Bio-inspired robots still rely on classic robot control although advances in neurophysiology allow adaptation to control as well. However, the connection of a robot to spiking neuronal networks needs adjustments for each purpose and requires frequent adapt ...

Ranger, an Example of Integration of Robotics into the Home Ecosystem

Francesco Mondada, Séverin Lemaignan, Julia Fink, David Mansolino

This paper presents the concept and an example of robject, a robotic entity embedded in an everyday object. Robjects use the affordance of the original object to ensure an efficient interaction and a high acceptance. The example of the ranger robot shows t ...

Standards for dielectric elastomer transducers

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Claire Jean-Mistral

Dielectric elastomer transducers consist of thin electrically insulating elastomeric membranes coated on both sides with compliant electrodes. They are a promising electromechanically active polymer technology that may be used for actuators, strain sensors ...

In research of human-robot interactions, human likeness (HL) of robots is frequently used as an individual, vague parameter to describe how a robot is perceived by a human. However, such a simplification of HL is often not sufficient given the complexity a ...

Miniature Mobile Systems for Inspection of Ferromagnetic Structures

Patrick Schoeneich

Power plants require periodical inspections to control their state. To ensure a safe operation, parts that could fail before the next inspection are repaired or replaced, since a forced outage due to a failure can cost up to millions of dollars per day. No ...

Enabling Large-Scale Collective Systems in Outdoor Aerial Robotics

Severin Leven

For many real-life applications such as monitoring, mapping, search-and-rescue or ad-hoc communication networks, fleets of flying robots are expected to out-perform existing solutions. Robots can join forces to cover larger areas in less time, act as effic ...

EPFL2011

We present a study of collective robotics by including a mechatronics point of view. In the field it is usually claimed that collective robots are simple and relatively cheap because they are produced in large quantities. Instead in our study we show that ...
