Presentation EU Project FourByThree

from: José de Gea Fernández  (DFKI GmbH)
In this talk, the goals of the recently started European Project FourByThree will be presented. After a brief description of the administrative data and the role of the DFKI in the project, an introduction to the area of physical human-robot interaction will be given in which we will see the methods…

"Hector, six-legged walking with elastic joints (Jan Paskarbeit, Prof. Axel Schneider, CITEC, Bielefeld)" und "Bio-inspired electroreceptor systems for object location in fluids (Prof. Axel Schneider, University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld)"

from: Prof. Axel Schneider  (University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld)
Recently, the six-legged robot HECTOR was put into operation. This hexapod is characterized by its 18 elastic joint drives, a high level of sensorisation and a decentralized control strategy for walking. This presentation will introduce the hardware structure of the system which includes, amongst o…

Upper limb orthosis for post-stroke rehabilitation

from: Marc Tabie  (DFKI GmbH)
Rehabilitation for post-stroke patients is a very difficult, time-consuming and exhausting task for both the patients and the therapists. Regaining control of the paralyzed upper limb is one of the key elements in classical treatments, since for many activities of daily living two functional upper l…

Localization Using Magnetic Field Distortions

from: Leif Christensen  (DFKI GmbH)
Current localization algorithms are prone to failure in demanding environments due to restrictions imposed by the commonly applied sensor techniques. For example, GPS-based localization fails in indoor environments or under water, vision-based sensors fail in difficult lightning conditions, etc. The…

Learning Reusable, Versatilely Applicable Skills

from: Alexander Fabisch  (Uni Bremen AG Robotik)
Recently proposed algorithms for contextual policy search can be used to learn behavioral building blocks that generalize over a fixed set of task parameters even in complex robotic domains. In this talk, I will show how this can be useful for autonomous robots, summarize the state of the art, point…

A Reconfigurable Planetary Rover for Increased Traversability

from: William Reid  (DFKI GmbH)
Reconfigurable wheel-on-leg rovers provide an effective solution for addressing traversability problems in Martian analogue environments. Soft soil and step obstacles larger than a rover's wheel diameter are significant impediments that can be more easily overcome with an actively articulated mobili…

Underwater Multimodal 3D Reconstruction

from: Alexander Duda  (DFKI GmbH)
Underwater inspection of man made objects and mapping of marine habitats would greatly benefit from accurate underwater 3D sensing. To improve the resolution and robustness of camera or sonar based 3D reconstructions a new combined method is proposed fusing Structure from Motion with Structured Ligh…

Robotic spacecraft for Kosmos 3M active removal (ROSKAR): GNC architecture and robotic system concept

from: Marko Jankovic  (DFKI GmbH)
Robotic manipulators have been playing an important role in human spaceflight activities since the 1980s. Nevertheless, an unmanned and completely autonomous robotic system, capable of capturing and manipulating a target has yet to become reality, despite several successfuldemonstration missions, su…

Context-Adaptive Selection and Control of Whole Body Behaviours

from: Dennis Mronga  (DFKI GmbH)
Whole body control (WBC) is a robot control method that targets robotic systems with many degrees of freedom and tasks with multiple, concurrent objectives in dynamically changing environments. In WBC, robot tasks are described by combinations of simple, generic task descriptors, which are usually s…

Internal Simulation for Autonomy Enhancement in Robotics: Theoretical Approach

from: Raúl Domínguez  (DFKI GmbH)
The central idea of this research is to formalize how and why an Internal complex Simulation (IS) is useful in the context of autonomous robotics. Some cognitive scientists have researched on the idea of the brain being an internal simulator to explain thinking [1, 2]. This research aims to formally…
