Passive Obstacle Aware Control to Follow Desired Velocity
Evaluating and updating the obstacle avoidance velocity for an autonomous robot in real-time ensures robustness against noise and disturbances. A passive damping controller can obtain the desired motion with a torque-controlled robot, which remains complia ...
2024Dynamic Voxels Based on Ego-Conditioned Prediction: An Integrated Spatio-Temporal Framework for Motion Planning
Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Ting Zhang
Prediction is a vital component of motion planning for autonomous vehicles (AVs). By reasoning about the possible behavior of other target agents, the ego vehicle (EV) can navigate safely, efficiently, and politely. However, most of the existing work overl ...
Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2024Exact Obstacle Avoidance for Robots in Complex and Dynamic Environments Using Local Modulation
Robots outside of the fenced factories have to deal with continuously changing environment, this requires fast and flexible modes of control. Planning methods or complex learning models can find optimal paths in complex surroundings, but they are computati ...
EPFL2024Hitting with Different Joints of a Robotic Manipulator
This paper builds up the skill of impact aware non prehensile manipulation through a hitting motion by allowing the robot arm to come in contact with the environment with parts other than its end effector. Hitting with other joints allows us to manipulate ...
2024Distributed Predictive Formation Control of Autonomous Rotary-Wing Micro Aerial Vehicles
This doctoral thesis navigates the complex landscape of motion coordination and formation control within teams of rotary-wing Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). Prompted by the intricate demands of real-world applications such as search and rescue or surveillan ...
EPFL2024Quantifying the biomimicry gap in biohybrid robot-fish pairs
Francesco Mondada, Vaios Papaspyros
Biohybrid systems in which robotic lures interact with animals have become compelling tools for probing and identifying the mechanisms underlying collective animal behavior. One key challenge lies in the transfer of social interaction models from simulatio ...
2024Less Conservatism, Stronger Robustness: Iterative Robust Gain-Scheduled Path Following Control of Autonomous Bus With Unstructured and Changing Dynamics
Denis Gillet, Man Shi, Jianwei Li
Path-following control is a critical technology for autonomous vehicles. However, time-varying parameters, parametric uncertainties, external disturbances, and complicated environments significantly challenge autonomous driving. We propose an iterative rob ...
Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2024Online Multicontact Receding Horizon Planning via Value Function Approximation
Sylvain Calinon, Teguh Santoso Lembono
Planning multicontact motions in a receding horizon fashion requires a value function to guide the planning with respect to the future, e.g., building momentum to traverse large obstacles. Traditionally, the value function is approximated by computing traj ...
