Anonymous mobile robots are often classified into synchronous, semi-synchronous and asynchronous robots when discussing the pattern formation problem. For semi-synchronous robots, all patterns formable with memory are also formable without memory, wi...
This report describes our winning submission to the Real Robot Challenge (https://real-robot-challenge.com/). The Real Robot Challenge is a three-phase dexterous manipulation competition that involves manipulating various rectangular objects with the...
Delivering groceries or cleaning airports, mobile robots exist in public spaces. While these examples showcase robots that execute tasks, this paper explores mobile robots that encourage posthuman collaboration rather than managing environments indep...

VEX Robotics is one of the main robotics programs for elementary through university students, and a subset of Innovation First International. The VEX Robotics
Specializing in advanced robotics is a bad choice for graduates and newcomers. Change my mind. Here is my experience: * I spent 8 years studying robotics in total. * I did 3 internships where I lite...
A fundamental challenge in robot perception is the coupling of the sensor pose and robot pose. This has led to research in active vision where robot pose is changed to reorient the sensor to areas of interest for perception. Further, egomotion such a...

Generic automation framework for acceptance testing and RPA (⭐ 11447)
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to present a CAD-based human-robot interface that allows non-expert users to teach a robot in a manner similar to that used by human beings to teach each other. Design/methodology/approach - Intuitive robot pr...
A robot's appearance is a known factor influencing user's mental model and human-robot interaction, that has not been studied in the context of its influence in expected robot explanations. In this study, we investigate whether and to what extent the...
In this paper we propose a robotic system for Irrigation Water Management (IWM) in a structured robotic greenhouse environment. A commercially available robotic manipulator is equipped with an RGB-D camera and a soil moisture sensor. The two are used...
The litter-robot component offers integration with the Litter-Robot WiFi enabled devices to Home Assistant. (⭐ 87)
Swarm perception refers to the ability of a robot swarm to utilize the perception capabilities of each individual robot, forming a collective understanding of the environment. Their distributed nature enables robot swarms to continuously monitor dyna...
Multi-robot bounding overwatch requires timely coordination of robot team members. Symbolic motion planning (SMP) can provide provably correct solutions for robot motion planning with high-level temporal logic task requirements. This paper aims to de...
This paper shows a detailed modeling of three-link robotic finger that is actuated by nylon artificial muscles and a simulink model that can be used for numerical study of a robotic finger. The robotic hand prototype was recently demonstrated in rece...
Research in child-robot interactions suggests that engaging in "care-taking" of a social robot, such as tucking the robot in at night, can strengthen relationships formed between children and robots. In this work, we aim to better understand and expl...
Flexible robots have advantages over rigid robots in their ability to conform physically to their environment and to form a wide variety of shapes. Sensing the force applied by or to flexible robots is useful for both navigation and manipulation task...
This paper focuses on the teaming aspects and the role of heterogeneity in a multi-robot system applied to robot-aided urban search and rescue (USAR) missions. We propose a needs-driven multi-robot cooperation mechanism represented through a Behavior...
The Robotics Major at the University of Michigan was successfully launched in the 2022-23 academic year as an innovative step forward to better serve students, our communities, and our society. Building on our guiding principle of "Robotics with Resp...
