Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Introducing Productive Engagement for Social Robots Supporting Learning

Jauwairia Nasir

We have all been one such student or seen such students who can maintain the 'good student' image while playing a video game under the table or those loyal backbenchers, seemingly always distracted, who then ace their exams. These intricacies of human beha ...

Automatic Acquisition of a Repertoire of Diverse Grasping Trajectories through Behavior Shaping and Novelty Search

Aurélien Arthur Enzo Morel

Grasping a particular object may require a dedicated grasping movement that may also be specific to the robot end-effector. No generic and autonomous method does exist to generate these movements without making hypotheses on the robot or on the object. Lea ...

Navigation of Concentric Tube Continuum Robots using Optimal Control

John Maddocks, Siva Prasad Chakri Dhanakoti

Recently developed Concentric Tube Continuum Robots (CTCRs) are widely exploited in, for example in minimally invasive surgeries which involve navigating inside narrow body cavities close to sensitive regions. These CTCRs can be controlled by extending and ...

, ,

In modular robotics, there is classically a compromise between coupling complexity and functionality. The mechanical and electrical designs are linked, such that adding electrical features often requires redesigning the mechanical components. However, incr ...

Implicit Distance Functions: Learning and Applications in Control

Aude Billard, Mikhail Koptev, Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez

This paper describes a novel approach to learn an implicit, differentiable distance function for arbitrary configurations of a robotic manipulator used for reactive control. By exploiting GPU processing, we efficiently query the learned collision represent ...

Advancing the Adaptability of Compliant Robot Controllers for Exploration, Interaction, and Manipulation

Farshad Khadivar

As technology continues to evolve, robots are becoming an intrinsic part of our lives. While robots surpass human capabilities in precision and speed, they are far from matching humans' ability to adapt to unexpected changes. Humans can quickly and complia ...

EPFL2022

This poster provides an overview of the challenges and achievements related to current research led at the Laboratory for Timber Constructions (IBOIS, EPFL) on the robotic assembly of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures (IATPS). The poster is divid ...

Mediating Computational Thinking Through Educational Robotics In Primary School

Morgane Solène Denise Chevalier

Nowadays, computational thinking (CT) is considered a skill to be taught. While educational robotics (ER) appears promising to foster students' CT, operational CT frameworks and explicit guidance in ER are lacking. This thesis thus proposes to understand h ...

Robots' Motion Planning in Human Crowds by Acceleration Obstacles

Aude Billard, Diego Felipe Paez Granados, David Julian Gonon

We study the Acceleration Obstacle (AO) as a concept to enable a robot's navigation in human crowds. The AO's geometric properties are analyzed and a direct sampling-free algorithm is proposed to approximate its boundary by linear constraints. The resultin ...

Lattice-and-Plate Model: Mechanics Modeling of Physical Origami Robots

Jamie Paik, Hongying Zhang

Origami robots are characterized by their compact design, quasi-two-dimensional manufacturing process, and folding joint-based transmission kinematics. The physical requirements in terms of payload, range of motion, and embedding core robotic components ha ...
