To build autonomous robots capable to plan and control tasks in human environments, we need a description of trajectories that allows the robot to reason on his moves. In this pape...
This paper presents a quadrocopter flying in rhythm to music. The quadrocopter performs a periodic sideto-side motion in time to a musical beat. Underlying controllers are designed...
This paper explores systematic control strategies for the stabilization of running on compliant robots with nontrivial torso pitch dynamics. The Spring Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SL...
Abstract-- This work aims at the development of a versatile control strategy for operating unknown mechanically constrained devices such as drawers or doors. Few assumptions on the...

Reliable and efficient navigation with a humanoid robot is a difficult task. First, the motion commands are executed rather inaccurately due to backlash in the joints or foot slipp...
This paper presents a novel approach to data fusion for stochastic processes that model spatial data. It addresses the problem of data fusion in the context of large scale terrain ...

We present a novel approach for unsupervised discovery of repetitive objects from 3D point clouds. Our method assumes that objects are geometrically consistent, and uses multiple o...
In this paper we study the problem of controlling a number of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to provide convoy protection to a group of ground vehicles. The UAVs are modeled as Du...
Abstract-- The efficiency of distributed sensor networks depends on an optimal trade-off between the usage of resources and data quality. The work in this paper addresses the probl...

Robotic manipulators on non-inertial platforms, such as ships, have to endure large inertial forces due to the non-inertial motion of the platform. When the non-inertial platform...
