Learning robot behaviors in simulation has the advantages of being faster, safer and cheaper than learning on a real system. In exchange, the problem of Simulation Optimization Bias is introduced, which is caused by discrepancies between the model and the real system, commonly referred to as the Sim…

In the recent decades, many missions have been undertaken to investigate Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons. It’s surface consists of a thick ice crust which covers a deep ocean underneath it. To inspect the ocean a system was conceptualized at DFKI Bremen which would drill through the ice and then depl…

Kolloquium
Long-term autonomous robotic missions, especially in isolated environments, have to cope with various challenges, e.g., limited possibilities for maintenance or recovery in case of failure. Better adaptation of the robot to its environment is therefore the first step towards a more robust behavioura…

Evaluation of metrics for human-like grips

from: Florian Seidler  (Universität Bremen)
Human hands effortlessly navigate a diverse range of objects, adjusting grasp strength, finger placement, and overall hand configuration. In contrast, implementing a comparable level of dexterity in robot hands demands a precise understanding of not only the physical mechanics involved but also the …

Control Strategies for a Rimless Wheel Micro-Rover

from: Dennis Schlee  (TU Darmstadt)
Rimless wheeled robots are a hybrid variant of traditionally wheeled and legged robots. These hybrid systems combine the benefits of both approaches, such as efficient power demands and good terrain traversability. However, the simplicity of the design of the rimless wheel has the disadvantage of li…

Robot state estimation using Synthetic RGB images

from: Vasantakumaar, Naren  (Universität Bremen)
The aim of this thesis is to use a camera as a cost-effective alternative to the expensive retrofitting of sensors for state estimation of the manipulator. Determining the state of robot joints from images has always been a challenge in the field of computer vision and robotics. Thus, determining th…

Online Terrain Traversability Estimation for Wheel-Legged Rover Exploration

from: Yogeshkarna Govindaraj  (Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg)
In robotics, traversability, the ability of a robot to navigate challenging terrains, remains a significant challenge due to limitations in design, perception, and computation. The hybrid wheel-legged design, exemplified by the SherpaTT rover, offers enhanced mobility in unstructured terrain. Curren…

Unified model for Grasp stability estimation

from: Prithvi Sanghamreddy  (Universität Bremen)
Grasp stability is one of the main concerns in the field of robotics, as it directly impacts the effectiveness and safety of robotic manipulation tasks. Grasping an object and evaluating the grasp is an important task when we use robotic hands. Establishing robotic hands that can securely hold and m…
