Synchronizing a modular robot colony for cooperative tasks based on intrainter robot communications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The implementation of robotic cooperative tasks such as pushing an object toward a desired destination or manipulating an object using mobile robots or robotic arms requires motion coordination between the robot colony. When a robot is built by the union

An Earthworm-Inspired Soft Crawling Robot Controlled by Friction

open access: yes, 2017
We present the modeling, design, fabrication and feedback control of an earthworm-inspired soft robot capable of crawling on surfaces by actively manipulating the frictional force between its body and the surface.

Interoceptive robustness through environment-mediated morphological development

open access: yes, 2018
Typically, AI researchers and roboticists try to realize intelligent behavior in machines by tuning parameters of a predefined structure (body plan and/or neural network architecture) using evolutionary or learning algorithms.

Robot eye-hand coordination learning by watching human demonstrations: a task function approximation approach

open access: yes, 2019
We present a robot eye-hand coordination learning method that can directly learn visual task specification by watching human demonstrations. Task specification is represented as a task function, which is learned using inverse reinforcement learning(IRL ...

Systems overview of Ono: a DIY reproducible open source social robot [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
One of the major obstacles in the study of HRI (human-robot interaction) with social robots is the lack of multiple identical robots that allow testing with large user groups. Often, the price of these robots prohibits using more than a handful. A lot of

Combating catastrophic forgetting with developmental compression

open access: yes, 2018
Generally intelligent agents exhibit successful behavior across problems in several settings. Endemic in approaches to realize such intelligence in machines is catastrophic forgetting: sequential learning corrupts knowledge obtained earlier in the ...

Integrating Soft Robotics with the Robot Operating System: A Hybrid Pick and Place Arm

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2017
Soft robotic systems present a variety of new opportunities for solving complex problems. The use of soft robotic grippers, for example, can simplify the complexity in tasks such as the grasping of irregular and delicate objects.
