(author), Gerostathopoulos, Ilias (author), Johnsen, Einar Broch (author), Hernández, Carlos (author)Once deployed in the real world, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are out of reach for human supervision yet need to take decisions to adapt to unstable and unpredictable environments. To facilitate research on self-adaptive AUVs, this paper presents SUAVE, an exemplar for two-layered system-level adaptation of AUVs, which clearly...conference paper 2023

Qi, Jiaming (author), Ma, Guangfu (author), Zhu, J. (author), Zhou, Peng (author), Lyu, Yueyong (author), Zhang, Haibo (author), Navarro-Alarcon, David (author)The robotic manipulation of composite rigid-deformable objects (i.e., those with mixed nonhomogeneous stiffness properties) is a challenging problem with clear practical applications that, despite the recent progress in the field, it has not been sufficiently studied in the literature. To deal with this issue, in this article, we propose a...journal article 2022

Andrade Borges, E.I. (author), Rieder, J.S.I. (author), Aschenbrenner, D. (author), Scharff, R.B.N. (author)Soft robots are typically intended to operate in highly unpredictable and unstructured environments. Although their soft bodies help them to passively conform to their environment, the execution of specific tasks within such environments often requires the help of an operator that supervises the interaction between the robot and its environment...journal article 2022

Fanchamps, L.J.A. (author), Slangen, Lou (author), Specht, M.M. (author), Hennissen, Paul (author)This article illustrates that the task design and problem selection are of characteristic influence to evoke sense-reason-act programming (SRA) among primary school pupils when programming robots. Research shows that the task design influences the development of computational thinking (CT). The literature provides evidence that the context,...journal article 2022

Anil Meera, A. (author), Wisse, M. (author)The free energy principle from neuroscience has recently gained traction as one of the most prominent brain theories that can emulate the brain’s perception and action in a bio-inspired manner. This renders the theory with the potential to hold the key for general artificial intelligence. Leveraging this potential, this paper aims to bridge the...journal article 2021

Trumic, Maja (author), Della Santina, C. (author), Jovanovic, Kosta (author), Fagiolini, Adriano (author)Despite having proven successful in generating precise motions under dynamic conditions in highly deformable soft-bodied robots, model based techniques are also prone to robustness issues connected to the intrinsic uncertain nature of the dynamics of these systems. This letter aims at tackling this challenge, by extending the augmented rigid...journal article 2021

Baioumy, Mohamed (author), Pezzato, C. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author), Hernández, Carlos (author), Hawes, Nick (author)This work presents a novel fault-tolerant control scheme based on active inference. Specifically, a new formulation of active inference which, unlike previous solutions, provides unbiased state estimation and simplifies the definition of probabilistically robust thresholds for fault-tolerant control of robotic systems using the free-energy. The...conference paper 2021

Rudenko, Andrey (author), Palmieri, Luigi (author), Herman, Michael (author), Kitani, Kris M. (author), Gavrila, D. (author), Arras, Kai O. (author)With growing numbers of intelligent autonomous systems in human environments, the ability of such systems to perceive, understand, and anticipate human behavior becomes increasingly important. Specifically, predicting future positions of dynamic agents and planning considering such predictions are key tasks for self-driving vehicles, service...review 2020

Vertongen, J. (author), Kamper, Derek G. (author), Smit, G. (author), Vallery, H. (author)The large interest in robot hands and active hand prostheses has in recent years been joined by that in active hand orthoses. Despite the differences in intended uses, these three categories of artificial hand devices share key characteristics. Examination of the commonalities could stimulate future design. Thus, in this article, we undertook...journal article 2020

Kajak, K. M. (author), Karasek, M. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)Recently, several insect- and hummingbird-inspired tailless flapping wing robots have been introduced. However, their flight dynamics, which are likely to be similar to that of their biological counterparts, remain yet to be fully understood. We propose a minimal dynamic model that is not only validated with experimental data, but also able...journal article 2019

Kudruss, Manuel (author), Koryakovskiy, I. (author), Vallery, H. (author), Mombaur, Katja (author), Kirches, Christian (author)Today’s humanoid robots are complex mechanical systems with many degrees of freedom that are built to achieve locomotion skills comparable to humans. In order to synthesize whole-body motions, real-tme capable direct methods of optimal control are a subject of contemporary research. To this end, Nonlinear Model Predictive Control is the method...report 2018

(author), Hennes, Daniel (author), Izzo, Dario (author)Self-supervised learning is a reliable learning mechanism in which a robot uses an original, trusted sensor cue for training to recognize an additional, complementary sensor cue. We study for the first time in self-supervised learning how a robot’s learning behavior should be organized, so that the robot can keep performing its task in the...journal article 2018
