How to Swoop and Grasp Like a Bird With a Passive Claw for a High-Speed Grasping

Dario Floreano, William John Stewart, Enrico Ajanic, Matthias Müller

There is a growing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) grasping, perching, and interacting with their surroundings by means of claws, arms, hooks, and other appendages. While multirotor vehicles can slowly lower onto a target object and grasp it, w ...

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 ...

Nighttime chemistry of biomass burning emissions in urban areas: A dual mobile chamber study

Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis

Residential biomass burning for heating purposes is an important source of air pollutants during winter. Here we test the hypothesis that significant secondary organic aerosol production can take place even during winter nights through oxidation of the emi ...

Detecting 32 Pedestrian Attributes for Autonomous Vehicles

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Taylor Ferdinand Mordan

Pedestrians are arguably one of the most safety-critical road users to consider for autonomous vehicles in urban areas. In this paper, we address the problem of jointly detecting pedestrians and recognizing 32 pedestrian attributes from a single image. The ...

Passive Perching with Energy Storage for Winged Aerial Robots

Dario Floreano, Yegor Piskarev, William John Stewart, Luca Guarino

Perching in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offers the possibility of extending the range of aerial robots beyond the limits of their batteries. It has been a topic of intense study for multirotor UAVs. Perching in winged UAVs is harder because a kinetic e ...

Arm-wrist haptic sleeve for drone teleoperation

Dario Floreano, Vivek Ramachandran, Matteo Macchini

Teleoperators rely on both visual and haptic feedback to perform drone teleoperation tasks, such as obstacle avoidance. Haptic feedback becomes essential when visual feedback is compromised, either due to visual occlusions or poor depth perception. However ...

Overview: Integrative and Comprehensive Understanding on Polar Environments (iCUPE) – concept and initial results

Julia Schmale, Imad El Haddad, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Jenny Thomas

The role of polar regions is increasing in terms of megatrends such as globalization, new transport routes, demography, and the use of natural resources with consequent effects on regional and transported pollutant concentrations. We set up the ERA-PLANET ...

UWB-based system for UAV Localization in GNSS-Denied Environments: Characterization and Dataset

Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano

Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have penetrated multiple domains over the past years. In GNSS-denied or indoor environments, aerial robots require a robust and stable localization system, often with external feedback, in order to fly safely. Motion ca ...

STC-GAN: Spatio-Temporally Coupled Generative Adversarial Networks for Predictive Scene Parsing

Jie Luo, Mengshi Qi, Yiyu Wang

Predictive scene parsing is a task of assigning pixel-level semantic labels to a future frame of a video. It has many applications in vision-based artificial intelligent systems, e.g., autonomous driving and robot navigation. Although previous work has sho ...
