Neuromuscular model achieving speed control and steering with a 3D bipedal walker
Auke Ijspeert, Renaud Ronsse, Nicolas Benoît Dominique Van der Noot
Nowadays, very few humanoid robots manage to travel in our daily environments. This is mainly due to their limited locomotion capabilities, far from the human ones. Recently, we developed a bio-inspired torque-based controller recruiting virtual muscles dr ...
SPRINGER2019What Teachers Need for Orchestrating Robotic Classrooms
Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Jennifer Kaitlyn Olsen, Aditi Kothiyal, Sina Shahmoradi
Educational Robots are gaining popularity in classrooms but can increase the load on teachers compared to the use of more traditional technologies. Providing support to teachers can make teachers confident in including robots in their teaching routines. In ...
Springer, Cham2019A Dynamical System Based Approach for Controlling Robotic Manipulators During Non-contact/Contact Transitions
Aude Billard, Seyed Sina Mirrazavi Salehian
Many daily life tasks require precise control when making contact with surfaces. Ensuring a smooth transition from free motion to contact is crucial as incurring a large impact force may lead to unstable contact with the robot bouncing on the surface, i.e. ...
2018Do Children Perceive Whether a Robotic Peer is Learning or Not?
Pierre Dillenbourg, Hang Yin, Shruti Chandra, Ana Paiva
Social robots are being used to create better educational scenarios, thereby fostering children's learning. In the work presented here, we describe an autonomous social robot that was designed to enhance children's handwriting skills. Exploiting the benefi ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2018How mimetic should a robotic fish be to socially integrate into zebrafish groups ?
Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet, Bertrand Eric Collignon
Biomimetic robots are promising tools in animal behavioural studies. If they are socially integrated in a group of animals, they can produce calibrated social stimuli to test the animal responses. However, the design of such social robots is challenging as ...
2018Tribot: A Deployable, Self-Righting and Multi-Locomotive Origami Robot
Jamie Paik, Zhenishbek Zhakypov, Christoph Heinrich Belke
There are several challenges in down-sizing robots for transportation deployment, diversification of locomotion capabilities tuned for various terrains, and rapid and on-demand manufacturing. In this paper we propose an origami-inspired method of addressin ...
2017Development of Essential Components for Soft Wearable Technologies
The rising demand for safe human-robot interaction in daily tasks has motivated significant research effort in the robotics field towards compliant and conformable robots, capable of replicating complex human movements in applications such as wearable reha ...
