An intelligent robot can be used for applications where a human is at significant risk (like nuclear, space, military), the economics or menial nature of the application result in inefficient use of human workers (service industry,…

Complex motions for robots are frequently generated by switching among a collection of individual movement primitives. We use this approach to formulate robot motion plans as sequences of primitives to be executed one after the other. When…

Front-following is more technically difficult to implement than the other two human following technologies, but front-following technology is more practical and can be applied in more areas to solve more practical problems. Front-following…

Designing an in-pipe climbing robot that manipulates sharp gears to study complex line relationships. Traditional rolling/happening pipe climbing robots tend to slide when exploring pipe curves. The proposed gearbox connects to the farthest…

The application of autonomous mobile robots in robotic security platforms is becoming a promising field of innovation due to their adaptive capability of responding to potential disturbances perceived through a wide range of sensors.…

In this paper, we present a framework that unites obstacle avoidance and deliberate physical interaction for robotic manipulators. As humans and robots begin to coexist in work and household environments, pure collision avoidance is…

In this work we present a technique to select the best robot for accomplishing a task assuming that the map of the environment is known in advance. To do so, capabilities of the robots are listed and the environments where they can be used…

The paper focuses on the development of an autonomous disinfection robot UltraBot to reduce COVID-19 transmission along with other harmful bacteria and viruses. The motivation behind the research is to develop such a robot that is capable…

This paper presents the perception system of a new professional cleaning robot for large public places. The proposed system is based on multiple sensors including 3D and 2D lidar, two RGB-D cameras and a stereo camera. The two lidars…

Humanoid robots have significant gaps in their sensing and perception, making it hard to perform motion planning in dense environments. To address this, we introduce ARMOR, a novel egocentric perception system that integrates both hardware…

Line following robots are fundamental platforms in robotics education, yet commercially available solutions remain prohibitively expensive ($150-300$) while lacking integrated obstacle detection capabilities essential for real-world…

Among small-scale mobile robots, multi-modal locomotion can help compensate for limited actuator capabilities. However, supporting multiple locomotion modes or gaits in small terrestrial robots typically requires complex designs with low…

Collision avoidance is a critical task in many applications, such as ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems), industrial automation and robotics. In an industrial automation setting, certain areas should be off limits to an automated…

In optical experiments, shutters are devices that open or close a path of light. They are often used to limit the duration of light exposure onto a target or onto a detector in order to reduce possible light-induced damage. Many commercial…

Established techniques that enable robots to learn from demonstrations are based on learning a stable dynamical system (DS). To increase the robots' resilience to perturbations during tasks that involve static obstacle avoidance, we propose…

Evacuation of robots from a disk has attained a lot of attention recently. We visit the problem from the perspective of fault-tolerance. We consider two robots trying to evacuate from a disk via a single hidden exit on the perimeter of the…

Obstacle avoidance is a fundamental and challenging problem for autonomous navigation of mobile robots. In this paper, we consider the problem of obstacle avoidance in simple 3D environments where the robot has to solely rely on a single…

Shared autonomy provides a framework where a human and an automated system, such as a robot, jointly control the system's behavior, enabling an effective solution for various applications, including human-robot interaction. However, a…

Ants are six-legged insects that can carry loads ten times heavier than their body weight. Since having six-legs, they are intrinsically stable. They are powerful and can carry heavy loads. For these reasons, in this paper a new parallel…

The task of self-balancing is one of the most important tasks when developing humanoid robots. This paper proposes a novel external balance mechanism for humanoid robot to maintain sideway balance. First, a dynamic model of the humanoid…
