Building a distributed spatial awareness within a swarm of locally sensing and communicating robots enables new swarm algorithms. We use local observations by robots of each other and Gaussian belief propagation message passing combined wit...
Planning under uncertainty for safe robot exploration using Gaussian process prediction [0.03%]
利用高斯过程预测进行不确定条件下的安全机器人探索规划

Alex Stephens et al.
The exploration of new environments is a crucial challenge for mobile robots. This task becomes even more complex with the added requirement of ensuring safety. Here, safety refers to the robot staying in regions where the values of certain...
That was not what I was aiming at! Differentiating human intent and outcome in a physically dynamic throwing task [0.03%]
那并不是我的目标！在一个物理动态投掷任务中区分人类的意图和结果

Recognising intent in collaborative human robot tasks can improve team performance and human perception of robots. Intent can differ from the observed outcome in the presence of mistakes which are likely in physically dynamic tasks. We crea...
Hierarchical planning with state abstractions for temporal task specifications [0.03%]
基于状态抽象的分层规划以处理时序任务指定问题

Yoonseon Oh et al.
We often specify tasks for a robot using temporal language that can include different levels of abstraction. For example, the command "go to the kitchen before going to the second floor" contains spatial abstraction, given that "floor" cons...

This paper presents a novel system for autonomous, vision-based drone racing combining learned data abstraction, nonlinear filtering, and time-optimal trajectory planning. The system has successfully been deployed at the first autonomous dr...
A new meta-module design for efficient reconfiguration of modular robots [0.03%]
模块机器人的高效重新配置的新元模块设计

Irene Parada
We propose a new meta-module design for two important classes of modular robots. The new meta-modules are three-dimensional, robust and compact, improving on the previously proposed ones. One of them applies to so-called edge-hinged modular...

Assistive robot arms enable people with disabilities to conduct everyday tasks on their own. These arms are dexterous and high-dimensional; however, the interfaces people must use to control their robots are low-dimensional. Consider teleop...

This paper presents a scalable procedure for time-constrained planning of a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-robot systems. In particular, we consider N robotic agents operating in a workspace which contains regions of interest (RoI), in ...
Combining temporal planning with probabilistic reasoning for autonomous surveillance missions [0.03%]
结合概率推理的自主监视任务时间规划方法研究

Sara Bernardini
It is particularly challenging to devise techniques for underpinning the behaviour of autonomous vehicles in surveillance missions as these vehicles operate in uncertain and unpredictable environments where they must cope with little stabil...
Revisiting active perception [0.03%]
主动感知再探

Ruzena Bajcsy
Despite the recent successes in robotics, artificial intelligence and computer vision, a complete artificial agent necessarily must include active perception. A multitude of ideas and methods for how to accomplish this have already appeared...
