—Advancements in robotics have gained much momentum in recent years. Industrial robotic systems are increasingly being used outside the factory floor, evident by the growing pres...
- Suddenly occurring collisions or unintentional motions represent a high safety risk in robotics and must be prevented. Especially for humanoid robots, the influence of disturbanc...

– In Bayesian based approaches to mobile robot simultaneous localization and mapping, Rao-Blackwellized particle filters (RBPF) enable the efficient estimation of the posterior b...
Abstract— Linking semantic and spatial information has become an important research area in robotics since, for robots interacting with humans and performing tasks in natural env...
Abstract— This paper explores autonomous locomotion, reaching, grasping and manipulation for the domain of Navigation Among Movable Obstacles (NAMO). The robot perceives and cons...

— Interactions are frequently seen between the robot and the targets being tracked within the robotics community. Modeling the interactions using knowledge of robot cognition imp...
— Robot search and rescue is a time critical task, i.e. a large terrain has to be explored by multiple robots within a short amount of time. The efficiency of exploration depend...
