VP-STO: Via-point-based Stochastic Trajectory Optimization for Reactive Robot Behavior

Sylvain Calinon, Julius Maximilian Jankowski

Achieving reactive robot behavior in complex dynamic environments is still challenging as it relies on being able to solve trajectory optimization problems quickly enough, such that we can replan the future motion at frequencies which are sufficiently high ...

Complexity and Similarity Metrics for Unsupervised Identification of Programming Methods for Robot Cooking Tasks

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Stefan Ilic

Using robotics to automate complex manipulation tasks such as cooking could offer significant advantages. Robotics could offer improved throughput, provide assistance for those that lack the required mobility or allow for creative robotic chefs. Generating ...

Engineered Extracellular Matrices with Integrated Wireless Microactuators to Study Mechanobiology

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Erik Mailand, Nikolaos Bouklas, Fazil Emre Uslu

Mechanobiology explores how forces regulate cell behaviors and what molecular machinery are responsible for the sensing, transduction, and modulation of mechanical cues. To this end, probing of cells cultured on planar substrates has served as a primary ex ...

Towards Dynamic Trot Gait Locomotion—Design, Control and Experiments with Cheetah-cub, a Compliant Quadruped Robot

Auke Ijspeert, Alexander Spröwitz, Massimo Vespignani, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Alexandre Tuleu

We present robot design and results from locomotion experiments with a novel, compliant quadruped robot: Cheetah-cub. The robot's leg configuration is based on a spring-loaded, panthograph-mechanism with multiple segments. A dedicated open-loop, joint-spac ...

BM: An Iterative Method to Learn Stable Non-Linear Dynamical Systems with Gaussian Mixture Models

Aude Billard, Seyed Mohammad Khansari Zadeh

We model the dynamics of non-linear discrete (i.e. point-to- point) robot motions as a time-independent system described by an autonomous dynamical system (DS). We propose an iterative algorithm to estimate the form of the DS through a mixture of Gaussian ...
