Intuitive Teleoperation interfaces are essential for mobile manipulation robots to ensure high quality data collection while reducing operator workload. A strong sense of embodiment combined with minimal physical and cognitive demands not…

Many state-of-art robotics applications require fast and efficient motion planning algorithms. Existing motion planning methods become less effective as the dimensionality of the robot and its workspace increases, especially the…

Robotic manipulation research has investigated contact-rich problems and strategies that require robots to intentionally collide with their environment, to accomplish tasks that cannot be handled by traditional collision-free solutions. By…

Multi-robot systems are uniquely well-suited to performing complex tasks such as patrolling and tracking, information gathering, and pick-up and delivery problems, offering significantly higher performance than single-robot systems. A…

Optimizing the quality of result (QoR) and the quality of service (QoS) of AI-empowered autonomous systems simultaneously is very challenging. First, there are multiple input sources, e.g., multi-modal data from different sensors, requiring…

One of the challenges of modern engineering, and robotics in particular, is designing complex systems, composed of many subsystems, rigorously and with optimality guarantees. This paper introduces a theory of co-design that describes…

Soft robots promise inherent safety via their material compliance for seamless interactions with humans or delicate environments. Yet, their development is challenging because it requires integrating materials, geometry, actuation, and…

For robots to successfully execute tasks assigned to them, they must be capable of planning the right sequence of actions. These actions must be both optimal with respect to a specified objective and satisfy whatever constraints exist in…

Collaborative multi-robot perception provides multiple views of an environment, offering varying perspectives to collaboratively understand the environment even when individual robots have poor points of view or when occlusions are caused…

Embodied Artificial Intelligence (AI) has recently attracted significant attention as it bridges AI with the physical world. Modern embodied AI systems often combine a Large Language Model (LLM)-based planner for high-level task planning…

This work presents a data-driven framework for fast forward and inverse analysis in topology optimization (TO) by combining Rank Reduction Autoencoders (RRAEs) with neural latent-space mappings. The methodology targets the efficient…

Autonomous vehicles are a promising solution to traffic congestion, air pollution, accidents, and wasted time and resources. However, remote driver intervention may be necessary for extreme situations to ensure safe roadside parking or…

Designing robot morphologies and kinematics has traditionally relied on human intuition, with little systematic foundation. Motion-design co-optimization offers a promising path toward automation, but two major challenges remain: (i) the…

In autonomous driving, perception systems are piv otal as they interpret sensory data to understand the envi ronment, which is essential for decision-making and planning. Ensuring the safety of these perception systems is fundamental for…

Originated from distributed learning, federated learning enables privacy-preserved collaboration on a new abstracted level by sharing the model parameters only. While the current research mainly focuses on optimizing learning algorithms and…

We present a control framework that enables humanoid robots to perform collaborative transportation tasks with a human partner. The framework supports both translational and rotational motions, which are fundamental to co-transport…

Designing cyber-physical systems is a complex task which requires insights at multiple abstraction levels. The choices of single components are deeply interconnected and need to be jointly studied. In this work, we consider the problem of…

This paper studies the measurement scheduling problem for a group of N mobile robots moving on a flat surface that are preforming cooperative localization (CL). We consider a scenario in which due to the limited on-board resources such as…

Robotics can be defined as the connection of perception to action. Taking this further, this project aims to drive a robot using an automated computer vision embedded system, connecting the robot's vision to its behavior. In order to…
