On the mechanical, cognitive and sociable facets of human compliance and their robotic counterparts

Aude Billard

Compliance has become a key requirement for robots meant to interact with humans. It is viewed as a necessary property to increase safety and efficiency in human-robot cooperative actions. In humans, compliance takes three dimensions: mechanical, cognitive ...

Infiltrating the zebrafish swarm: design, implementation and experimental tests of a miniature robotic fish lure for fish–robot interaction studies

Francesco Mondada, Frank Bonnet, Yuta Kato

Robotic fish are nowadays developed for various types of research, such as bio-inspiredrobotics, biomimetics and animal behavior studies. In the context of our research on the social interactions of the zebrafish Danio Rerio, we developed a miniature robot ...

Springer Verlag2016

Emergency response in hostile environments often involves remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) that are teleoperated as interaction with the environment is typically required. Many ROV tasks are common to such scenarios and are often recurrent. We show how a ...
