Learning Ground Traversability From Simulations

Mobile ground robots operating on unstructured terrain must predict which areas of the environment they are able to pass in order to plan feasible paths. We address traversability estimation as a heightmap classification problem: we build a convolutional n ...

Haptic Guidance with a Soft Exoskeleton Reduces Error in Drone Teleoperation

Dario Floreano, Auke Ijspeert, Stefano Mintchev, Amy Roning Wu, Carine Rognon

Haptic guidance has been shown to improve performance in many fields as it can give additional information without overloading other sensory channels such as vision or audition. Our group is investigating new intuitive ways to interact with robots, and we ...

Learning nuisances to track pedestrians in autonomous vehicles

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, George Adaimi

Autonomous vehicles rely on an accurate perception module. One of the fundamental challenges is to efficiently track pedestrians surrounding a vehicle to anticipate risky situations. Over the past decades, researchers have formulated the tracking problem a ...

Social GAN: Socially Acceptable Trajectories with Generative Adversarial Networks

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Agrim Gupta

Understanding human motion behavior is critical for autonomous moving platforms (like self-driving cars and social robots) if they are to navigate human-centric environments. This is challenging because human motion is inherently multimodal: given a histor ...

Dexterous Underwater Manipulation from Distant Onshore Locations

Sylvain Calinon, Ajay Kumar Tanwani

Underwater manipulation is a challenging problem. The state of the art is dominated by Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV). ROV operations typically require an offshore crew consisting of at least an intendant, an operator, and a navigator. This crew often ha ...

A Soft Robot for Random Exploration of Terrestrial Environments

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Davide Zappetti, Jérémie Willemin

A swarm of randomly moving miniature robots is an effective solution for the exploration of unknown terrains. However, the deployment of a swarm of miniature robots poses two challenges: finding an adequate locomotion strategy for fast exploration and obst ...
