Semantic maps allow a robot to reason about its surroundings to fulfill tasks such as navigating known environments, finding specific objects, and exploring unmapped areas. Traditional mapping approaches provide accurate geometric representations but...
We present a controller for quasistatic robotic planar pushing with single-point contact using only force feedback to sense the pushed object. We consider an omnidirectional mobile robot pushing an object (the "slider") along a given path, where the...
Pushing is a motion primitive useful to handle objects that are too large, too heavy, or too cluttered to be grasped. It is at the core of much of robotic manipulation, in particular when physical interaction is involved. It seems reasonable then to...
In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic approach to risk assessment of robot systems by focusing on the impact of uncertainties. While various approaches to identifying systematic hazards (e.g., bugs, design flaws, etc.) can be found in current l...
Using an object detection and facial recognition system built on MobileNetSSDV2 and Dlib and running on an NVIDIA Jetson Nano, a GPT-3 model, Google Speech Recognition, Amazon Polly and servo motors, I built Ellee - a robotic teddy bear who can move her head and converse naturall…
Current disposal facilities for coarse-grained waste perform manual sorting of materials with heavy machinery. Large quantities of recyclable materials are lost to coarse waste, so more effective sorting processes must be developed to recover them. T...
This paper presents a Learning from Teleoperation (LfT) framework that integrates human expertise with robotic precision to enable robots to autonomously perform skills learned from human operators. The proposed framework addresses challenges in nucl...
This paper introduces a dual-arm telerobotic platform designed to efficiently and safely execute hot cell operations for nuclear waste disposition at EM sites. The proposed system consists of a remote robot arm platform and a teleoperator station, bo...

Cognitive agents such as humans and robots perceive their environment through an abundance of sensors producing streams of data that need to be processed to generate intelligent behavior. A key question of cognition-enabled and AI-driven robotics is...
Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out’s Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is...
Gemma is a robotics engineer at an electronics company. She has built a life-like robotic doll, M3gan, and, to trial the effectiveness of the doll, she takes M3gan home to live with her and her niece, Cady. …
When a roboticist tests the lifelike companion doll she's invented on her orphaned niece, the android soon takes her childcare duties deadly seriously. Watch trailers & learn more.
