Intelligent Soft Hands and Benchmarking towards General-Purpose Robotic Manipulation
Abstract
In order to progress the development of intelligent soft hands for general-purpose use in humanoid robots, social assistive robots, adaptive manufacturing, prosthetics and...
Bio-Inspired Robots Imitating Human Organs with Embodied Intelligence Behaviour
Abstract
Soft robotics is an emerging field that introduces promising engineering methods that replicate biological behaviours. Soft robotics aims to obtain a delicate interaction...
Morphological Computation and Control Complexity
Abstract
Morphological computation proposes the idea that in a physical system, certain computational processes can be off-loaded to the body. However, the concept has still eluded...
Collision-based energetic comparison of rolling and hopping over obstacles.
Locomotion of machines and robots operating in rough terrain is strongly influenced by the mechanics of the ground-machine interactions. A rolling wheel in terrain with obstacles is subject to collisional energy losses, which is...
Learning to stop
Evolutionary studies have unequivocally proven the transition of living organisms from water to land. Consequently, it can be deduced that locomotion strategies must have evolved from one environment to the other. However, the...
Self-healing ionic gelatin/glycerol hydrogels for strain sensing applications
Abstract Soft sensing technologies have the potential to revolutionize wearable devices, haptic interfaces and robotic systems. However, there are numerous challenges in the deployment of these...
Wrist-driven passive grasping
Abstract: The structure of the human musculo-skeletal systems shows complex passive dynamic properties, critical for adaptive grasping and motions. Through wrist and arm actuation, these passive dynamic properties can be...
Multi-Functional Soft Strain Sensors for Wearable Physiological Monitoring.
Wearable devices which monitor physiological measurements are of significant research interest for a wide number of applications including medicine, entertainment, and wellness monitoring. However, many wearable sensing systems...
Gaussian process inference modelling of dynamic robot control for expressive piano playing
Piano is a complex instrument, which humans learn to play after many years of practice. This paper investigates the complex dynamics of the embodied interactions between a human and piano, in order to gain insights into the...
Autonomous dishwasher loading from cluttered trays using pre-trained deep neural networks
Abstract: Autonomous dishwasher loading is a benchmark problem in robotics that highlights the challenges of robotic perception, planning, and manipulation in an unstructured environment. Current approaches resort to a...
How the Environment Shapes Tactile Sensing
The mechanical properties of a sensor strongly affect its tactile sensing capabilities. By exploiting tactile filters, mechanical structures between the sensing unit and the environment, it is possible to tune the...
Embodied Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
There has been a long-standing debate about the extent to which the human mind controls the human body and vice-versa. Today this debate still powers a profound scientific...
Structuring of tactile sensory information for category formation in robotics palpation
Abstract: This paper proposes a framework to investigate the influence of physical interactions to sensory information, during robotic palpation. We embed a capacitive tactile sensor on a robotic arm to probe a soft phantom and...
