Viability leads to the emergence of gait transitions in learning agile quadrupedal locomotion on challenging terrains

Auke Ijspeert, Guillaume Denis Antoine Bellegarda, Milad Shafiee Ashtiani

Quadruped animals are capable of seamless transitions between different gaits. While energy efficiency appears to be one of the reasons for changing gaits, other determinant factors likely play a role too, including terrain properties. In this article, we ...

Online Hydraulic Stiffness Modulation of a Soft Robotic Fish tail for Improved Thrust and Efficiency

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Kai Christian Junge, Nana Obayashi

This paper explores online stiffness modulation within a single tail stroke for swimming soft robots. Despite advances in stiffening mechanisms, little attention has been given to dynamically adjusting stiffness in real-time, presenting a challenge in deve ...

Eciton robotica: Design and Algorithms for an Adaptive Self-Assembling Soft Robot Collective

Bahar Haghighat

Social insects successfully create bridges, rafts, nests and other structures out of their own bodies and do so with no centralized control system, simply by following local rules. For example, while traversing rough terrain, army ants (genus Eciton) build ...

Arm-hand motion-force coordination for physical interactions with non-flat surfaces using dynamical systems: Toward compliant robotic massage

Aileen Charlotte Naef, Karl Gustav Henriks, Aude Billard, Seyed Sina Mirrazavi Salehian, Mahdi Khoramshahi

Many manipulation tasks require coordinated motions for arm and fingers. Complexity increases when the task requires to control for the force at contact against a non-flat surface; This becomes even more challenging when this contact is done on a human. Al ...

Online Learning of Varying Stiffness Through Physical Human-Robot Interaction

Aude Billard, Klas Jonas Alfred Kronander

Programming by Demonstration offers an intu- itive framework for teaching robots how to perform various tasks without having to preprogram them. It also offers an intuitive way to provide corrections and refine teaching during task execution. Previously, m ...

Recognizing the Visual Focus of Attention for Human Robot Interaction

Jean-Marc Odobez, Samira Sheikhi

We address the recognition of people’s visual focus of attention (VFOA), the discrete version of gaze that indicates who is looking at whom or what. As a good indicator of addressee-hood (who speaks to whom, and in particular is a person speaking to the ro ...
