Enhancing Hand Palm Motion Gesture Recognition by Eliminating Reference Frame Bias via Frame-Invariant Similarity Measures
Arno Verduyn, Maxim Vochten, Joris De Schutter
The ability of robots to recognize human gestures facilitates a natural and accessible human-robot collaboration. However, most work in gesture recognition remains rooted in refere…
From Instantaneous to Predictive Control: A More Intuitive and Tunable MPC Formulation for Robot Manipulators
Johan Ubbink, Ruan Viljoen, Erwin Aertbeliën +2
Model predictive control (MPC) has become increasingly popular for the control of robot manipulators due to its improved performance compared to instantaneous control approaches. H…
EchoPT: A Pretrained Transformer Architecture that Predicts 2D In-Air Sonar Images for Mobile Robotics
Jan Steckel, Wouter Jansen, Nico Huebel
The predictive brain hypothesis suggests that perception can be interpreted as the process of minimizing the error between predicted perception tokens generated by an internal worl…
Automatic Derivation of an Optimal Task Frame for Learning and Controlling Contact-Rich Tasks
Ali Mousavi Mohammadi, Maxim Vochten, Erwin Aertbeliën +1
In previous work on learning and controlling contact-rich tasks, the procedure for choosing a proper reference frame to express learned signals for the motion and the interaction w…
Automatic Configuration of Multi-Agent Model Predictive Controllers based on Semantic Graph World Models
K. de Vos, E. Torta, H. Bruyninckx +2
We propose a shared semantic map architecture to construct and configure Model Predictive Controllers (MPC) dynamically, that solve navigation problems for multiple robotic agents…
Enhancing motion trajectory segmentation of rigid bodies using a novel screw-based trajectory-shape representation
Arno Verduyn, Maxim Vochten, Joris De Schutter
Trajectory segmentation refers to dividing a trajectory into meaningful consecutive sub-trajectories. This paper focuses on trajectory segmentation for 3D rigid-body motions. Most…
Detecting and Classifying Bio-Inspired Artificial Landmarks Using In-Air 3D Sonar
Maarten de Backer, Wouter Jansen, Dennis Laurijssen +3
Various autonomous applications rely on recognizing specific known landmarks in their environment. For example, Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) is an important techniq…
Invariant Descriptors of Motion and Force Trajectories for Interpreting Object Manipulation Tasks in Contact
Maxim Vochten, Ali Mousavi Mohammadi, Arno Verduyn +3
Invariant descriptors of point and rigid-body motion trajectories have been proposed in the past as representative task models for motion recognition and generalization. Currently,…
Real-Time Sonar Fusion for Layered Navigation Controller
Wouter Jansen, Dennis Laurijssen, Jan Steckel
Navigation in varied and dynamic indoor environments remains a complex task for autonomous mobile platforms. Especially when conditions worsen, typical sensor modalities may fail t…
Adaptive Acoustic Flow-Based Navigation with 3D Sonar Sensor Fusion
Wouter Jansen, Dennis Laurijssen, Jan Steckel
Navigating spatially varied and dynamic environments is one of the key tasks for autonomous agents. In this paper we present a novel method of navigating a mobile platform with one…
Physical LiDAR Simulation in Real-Time Engine
Wouter Jansen, Nico Huebel, Jan Steckel
Designing and validating sensor applications and algorithms in simulation is an important step in the modern development process. Furthermore, modern open-source multi-sensor simul…
Robotic Endoscope Control via Autonomous Instrument Tracking
Caspar Gruijthuijsen, Luis C. Garcia-Peraza-Herrera, Gianni Borghesan +5
Many keyhole interventions rely on bi-manual handling of surgical instruments, forcing the main surgeon to rely on a second surgeon to act as a camera assistant. In addition to the…
