Division of Labour in Self-Organised Groups

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

In social insect colonies, many tasks are performed by higher-order entities, such as groups and teams whose task solving capacities transcend those of the individual participants. In this paper, we investigate the emergence of such higher-order entities u ...

A Comparative Psychophysical and EEG Study of Different Feedback Modalities for HRI

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Roland Siegwart, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Xavier Perrin

This paper presents a comparison between six different ways to convey navigational information provided by a robot to a human. Visual, auditory, and tactile feedback modalities were selected and designed to suggest a direction of travel to a human user, wh ...

How can human motion prediction increase transparency?

Jamie Paik

A major issue in the field of human-robot interaction for assistance to manipulation is transparency. This basic feature qualifies the capacity for a robot to follow human movements without any human-perceptible resistive forces. In this paper we address t ...

Control of legged locomotion using dynamical systems

Ludovic Righetti

Legged robots have gained an increased attention these past decades since they offer a promising technology for many applications in unstructured environments where the use of wheeled robots is clearly limited. Such applications include exploration and res ...

Audio-visual detection of multiple chirping robots

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy

Design, study, and control of mixed animals-robots societies are the fields of scientific exploration that can bring new opportunities for study and control of groups of social insects and animals and, in particular, for improvement of welfare and breeding ...

Learning of Gestures by Imitation in a Humanoid Robot

Aude Billard, Sylvain Calinon

In this chapter, we explore the issue of encoding, recognizing, generalizing and reproducing arbitrary gestures. We address one major and generic issue, namely how to discover the essence of a gesture, i.e. how to find a representation of the data that enc ...

Hand placement during quadruped locomotion in a humanoid robot: A dynamical system approach

Auke Ijspeert, Ludovic Righetti, Sarah Dégallier Rochat

Locomotion on an irregular surface is a challenging task in robotics. Among different problems to solve to obtain robust locomotion, visually guided locomotion and accurate foot placement are of crucial importance. Robust controllers able to adapt to senso ...

Incremental Learning of Gestures by Imitation in a Humanoid Robot

Aude Billard, Sylvain Calinon

We present an approach to teach incrementally human gestures to a humanoid robot. The learning process consists of first projecting the movement data in a latent space and encoding the resulting signals in a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). We compare the per ...

On Learning, Representing and Generalizing a Task in a Humanoid Robot

Aude Billard, Sylvain Calinon

We present a Programming by Demonstration (PbD) framework for generically extracting the relevant features of a given task and for addressing the problem of generalizing the acquired knowledge to different contexts. We validate the architecture through a s ...

Biologically Inspired Kinematic Synergies Provide a New Paradigm for Balance Control of Humanoid Robots

Auke Ijspeert

Nature has developed methods for controlling the movements of organisms with many degrees of freedom which differ strongly from existing approaches for balance control in humanoid robots: Biological organisms employ kinematic synergies that simultaneously ...
