This paper presents a practical approach towards implementing pathfinding algorithms on real-world and low-cost non- commercial hardware platforms. While using robotics simulation platforms as a test-bed for our algorithms we easily…

We present pyroomacoustics, a software package aimed at the rapid development and testing of audio array processing algorithms. The content of the package can be divided into three main components: an intuitive Python object-oriented…

A motion-based control interface promises flexible robot operations in dangerous environments by combining user intuitions with the robot's motor capabilities. However, designing a motion interface for non-humanoid robots, such as…

Traditional industrial robot programming is often complex and time-consuming, typically requiring weeks or even months of effort from expert programmers. Although Programming by Demonstration (PbD) offers a more accessible alternative,…

Hardware platforms for socially interactive robotics can be limited by cost or lack of functionality. This paper presents the overall system -- design, hardware, and software -- for Quori, a novel, affordable, socially interactive humanoid…

In this paper, we introduce ChoiRbot, a toolbox for distributed cooperative robotics based on the novel Robot Operating System (ROS) 2. ChoiRbot provides a fully-functional toolset to execute complex distributed multi-robot tasks, either in…

Physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI) task involves tight coupling between safety constraints and compliance with human intentions. In this paper, a novel switched model reference admittance controller is developed to maintain compliance…

This work presents AutoDRIVE, a comprehensive research and education platform for implementing and validating intelligent transportation algorithms pertaining to vehicular autonomy as well as smart city management. It is an openly…

This paper describes RHP Friends, a social humanoid robot developed to enable assistive robotic deployments in human-coexisting environments. As a use-case application, we present its potential use in nursing by extending its capabilities…

Facial expressions are vital in human communication and significantly influence outcomes in human-robot interaction (HRI), such as likeability, trust, and companionship. However, current methods for generating robotic facial expressions are…

Human-robot physical interaction (pHRI) is a rapidly evolving research field with significant implications for physical therapy, search and rescue, and telemedicine. However, a major challenge lies in accurately understanding human…

Fleets of autonomous robots have been deployed for exploration of unknown scenes for features of interest, e.g., subterranean exploration, reconnaissance, search and rescue missions. During exploration, the robots may encounter…

Modeling interaction dynamics to generate robot trajectories that enable a robot to adapt and react to a human's actions and intentions is critical for efficient and effective collaborative Human-Robot Interactions (HRI). Learning from…

Previous methods for Learning from Demonstration leverage several approaches for a human to teach motions to a robot, including teleoperation, kinesthetic teaching, and natural demonstrations. However, little previous work has explored more…

In this paper we introduce the core results of the project on software development for social robotics systems. The usability of maintenance and control features is crucial for many kinds of systems, but in the case of social robotics we…

Dynamic programming (DP) is a fundamental and powerful algorithmic paradigm taught in most undergraduate (and many graduate) algorithms classes. DP problems are challenging for many computer science students because they require identifying…

This paper introduces PyGAD, an open-source easy-to-use Python library for building the genetic algorithm. PyGAD supports a wide range of parameters to give the user control over everything in its life cycle. This includes, but is not…

A fundamental requirement for full autonomy is the ability to sustain accurate navigation in the absence of external data, such as GNSS signals or visual information. In these challenging environments, the platform must rely exclusively on…

The ease of use of robot programming interfaces represents a barrier to robot adoption in several manufacturing sectors because of the need for more expertise from the end-users. Current robot programming methods are mostly the past…

Collaborative robots are becoming part of intelligent automation systems in modern industry. Development and control of such systems differs from traditional automation methods and consequently leads to new challenges. Thankfully, Robot…
