Robotic locomotion through active and passive morphological adaptation in extreme outdoor environments

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Qinghua Guan, Max Mirko Polzin

Robotic locomotion has shown substantial advancements, yet robots still lack the versatility and agility shown by animals navigating complex terrains. This limits their applicability in complex environments where they could be highly beneficial. Unlike exi ...

Tactile Ergodic Coverage on Curved Surfaces

Sylvain Calinon, Tobias Löw, Cem Bilaloglu

In this article, we present a feedback control method for tactile coverage tasks such as cleaning or surface inspection. Although these tasks are challenging to plan due to the complexity of continuous physical interactions, the coverage target and progres ...

Haptics based multi-level collaborative steering control for automated driving

Hannes Bleuler, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Robert Fuchs, Tomohiro Nakade

Increasing the capability of automated driving vehicles is motivated by environmental, productivity, and traffic safety benefits. But over-reliance on the automation system is known to cause accidents. The role of the driver cannot be underestimated as it ...

Ergodic Exploration Using Tensor Train: Applications in Insertion Tasks

Sylvain Calinon, Suhan Narayana Shetty

In robotics, ergodic control extends the tracking principle by specifying a probability distribution over an area to cover instead of a trajectory to track. The original problem is formulated as a spectral multiscale coverage problem, typically requiring t ...

Bioinspired Postural Controllers for a Locked-Ankle Exoskeleton Targeting Complete SCI Users

Auke Ijspeert, Mohamed Bouri, Jemina Fasola, Romain Pierre François Baud, Tristan Hubert Vouga

Several lower-limb exoskeletons enable overcoming obstacles that would impair daily activities of wheelchair users, such as going upstairs. Still, as most of the currently commercialized exoskeletons require the use of crutches, they prevent the user from ...

Mutual Understanding in Educational Human-Robot Collaborations

Alexis David Jacq

Education is an art close to theater. A teacher is taking a role; he works his speeches and his gestures and he plays with the attention of his audience. But it is harder: more than entertaining, a teacher must shape the skills, the knowledge and the motiv ...

Fast multi-contact whole-body motion planning with limb dynamics

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji, Jonathan Patrick Arreguit O'Neill

We present a new method for multi-contact motion planning which efficiently encodes internal dynamics of the robot without needing to use full models. Our approach is based on a five-mass model which is formulated by Cartesian points instead of joint angle ...

Workshop on Robots for Learning: R4L

Pierre Dillenbourg, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal

While robots have been popular as a tool for STEM teaching, the use of robots in other learning scenarios is novel. The field of HRI has started to report on how to make effective robots usable in educational contexts. However, many challenges remain. For ...

Control and Learning of Compliant Manipulation Skills

Klas Jonas Alfred Kronander

Humans demonstrate an impressive capability to manipulate fragile objects without damaging them, graciously controlling the force and position of hands or tools. Traditionally, robotics has favored position control over force control to produce fast, accur ...

Formalization, Implementation, and Modeling of Institutional Controllers for Distributed Robotic Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, José Nuno Ferreira Maia Pereira

The work described is part of a long term program of introducing institutional robotics, a novel framework for the coordination of robot teams that stems from institutional economics concepts. Under the framework, institutions are cumulative sets of persis ...

HandCARE: a cable-actuated rehabilitation system to train hand function after stroke

Thomas Maeder, Roger Gassert

We have developed a robotic interface to train hand and ﬁnger function. HandCARE is a Cable-Actuated REhabilitation system, in which each ﬁnger is attached to an instrumented cable loop allowing force control and a predominantly linear displacement. The de ...
