Crash test-based assessment of injury risks for adults and children when colliding with personal mobility devices and service robots

Aude Billard, Diego Felipe Paez Granados

Autonomous mobility devices such as transport, cleaning, and delivery robots, hold a massive economic and social benefit. However, their deployment should not endanger bystanders, particularly vulnerable populations such as children and older adults who ar ...

Safety Concerns Emerging from Robots Navigating in Crowded Pedestrian Areas

Aude Billard, Diego Felipe Paez Granados, Pericle Salvini

The slogan “robots will pervade our environment” has become a reality. Drones and ground robots are used for commercial purposes while semi-autonomous driving systems are standard accessories to traditional cars. However, while our eyes have been riveted o ...

From High-Level to Low-Level Robot Learning of Complex Tasks: Leveraging Priors, Metrics and Dynamical Systems

Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez

Humans have a remarkable way of learning, adapting and mastering new manipulation tasks. With the current advances in Machine Learning (ML), the promise of having robots with such capabilities seems to be on the cusp of reality. Transferring human-level sk ...

Requirements for building an ontology for autonomous robots

Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Howard Li

Purpose - IEEE Ontologies for Robotics and Automation Working Group were divided into subgroups that were in charge of studying industrial robotics, service robotics and autonomous robotics. This paper aims to present the work in-progress developed by the ...

Aerial Locomotion in Cluttered Environments

Dario Floreano, Mirko Kovac, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Adam Klaptocz, Jürg Markus Germann

Many environments where robots are expected to operate are cluttered with objects, walls, debris, and different horizontal and vertical structures. In this chapter, we present four design features that allow small robots to rapidly and safely move in 3 dim ...

"On-the-spot Training" for Terrain Classification in Autonomous Air-Ground Collaborative Teams

Davide Scaramuzza, Luca Maria Gambardella

We consider the problem of performing rapid training of a terrain classier in the context of a collaborative robotic search and rescue system. Our system uses a vision-based flying robot to guide a ground robot through unknown terrain to a goal location by ...

Towards 3-D Distributed Odor Source Localization: An Extended Graph-Based Formation Control Algorithm for Plume Tracking

Alcherio Martinoli, Ali Marjovi, Jorge Miguel Dias Almeida Rodrigues Soares, Jonathan Giezendanner, Anil Augustin Kodiyan, António Pedro Rodrigues de Aguiar

The large number of potential applications for robotic odor source localization has motivated the development of a variety of plume tracking algorithms, the majority of which work in restricted two-dimensional scenarios. In this paper, we introduce a distr ...

Distributed vs. Centralized Particle Swarm Optimization for Learning Flocking Behaviors

Alcherio Martinoli, Inaki Navarro Oiza, Ezequiel Leonardo Di Mario

In this paper we address the automatic synthesis of controllers for the coordinated movement of multiple mobile robots. We use a noise-resistant version of Particle Swarm Optimization to learn in simulation a set of 50 weights of a plastic artificial neura ...
