Abstract— In human-robot communication it is often important to relate robot sensor readings to concepts used by humans. We suggest to use a virtual sensor (one or several physic...
The challenges of robotics have led the researchers to develop control architectures composed of distributed, independent and asynchronous behaviors. One way to approach decentral...
In this paper we start from a set of images obtained by the robot that is moving around in an environment. We present a method to automatically group the images into groups that c...
We coordinate in discrete time the interaction of two heterogeneous groups of mobile agents: a group of ground vehicles (ugvs) and a group of aerial vehicles (uavs). The ground ag...
Developmental robotics is concerned with the design of algorithms that promote robot adaptation and learning through qualitative growth of behaviour and increasing levels of compe...
Developing real robots that can exploit dynamic interactions with the environment requires the use of actuators whose behaviour can vary from high stiffness to complete complianc...
In this paper, a model-predictive trajectory-tracking control applied to a mobile robot is presented. Linearized tracking-error dynamics is used to predict future system behavior ...
Considering the wide range of possible behaviors to be acquired for domestic robots, applying a single learning method is clearly insufficient. In this paper, we propose a new str...
