Autonomous Dual-Arm Manipulation of Familiar Objects
Dmytro Pavlichenko, Diego Rodriguez, Max Schwarz +3
Autonomous dual-arm manipulation is an essential skill to deploy robots in unstructured scenarios. However, this is a challenging undertaking, particularly in terms of perception a…
NimbRo-OP2X: Adult-sized Open-source 3D Printed Humanoid Robot
Grzegorz Ficht, Hafez Farazi, André Brandenburger +5
Humanoid robotics research depends on capable robot platforms, but recently developed advanced platforms are often not available to other research groups, expensive, dangerous to o…
Learning Postural Synergies for Categorical Grasping through Shape Space Registration
Diego Rodriguez, Antonio Di Guardo, Antonio Frisoli +1
Every time a person encounters an object with a given degree of familiarity, he/she immediately knows how to grasp it. Adaptation of the movement of the hand according to the objec…
Team NimbRo at MBZIRC 2017: Autonomous Valve Stem Turning using a Wrench
Max Schwarz, David Droeschel, Christian Lenz +7
The Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC) 2017 has defined ambitious new benchmarks to advance the state-of-the-art in autonomous operation of ground-based an…
Transferring Category-based Functional Grasping Skills by Latent Space Non-Rigid Registration
Diego Rodriguez, Sven Behnke
Objects within a category are often similar in their shape and usage. When we---as humans---want to grasp something, we transfer our knowledge from past experiences and adapt it to…
Combining Simulations and Real-robot Experiments for Bayesian Optimization of Bipedal Gait Stabilization
Diego Rodriguez, André Brandenburger, Sven Behnke
Walking controllers often require parametrization which must be tuned according to some cost function. To estimate these parameters, simulations can be performed which are cheap bu…
Advanced Soccer Skills and Team Play of RoboCup 2017 TeenSize Winner NimbRo
Diego Rodriguez, Hafez Farazi, Philipp Allgeuer +5
In order to pursue the vision of the RoboCup Humanoid League of beating the soccer world champion by 2050, new rules and competitions are added or modified each year fostering nove…
Transferring Grasping Skills to Novel Instances by Latent Space Non-Rigid Registration
Diego Rodriguez, Corbin Cogswell, Seongyong Koo +1
Robots acting in open environments need to be able to handle novel objects. Based on the observation that objects within a category are often similar in their shapes and usage, we…
Grown-up NimbRo Robots Winning RoboCup 2017 Humanoid AdultSize Soccer Competitions
Grzegorz Ficht, Dmytro Pavlichenko, Philipp Allgeuer +6
The ongoing evolution of the RoboCup Humanoid League led in 2017 to the introduction of one vs. one soccer games for the AdultSize robots, which motived our team NimbRo to enter th…
Supervised Autonomous Locomotion and Manipulation for Disaster Response with a Centaur-like Robot
Tobias Klamt, Diego Rodriguez, Max Schwarz +4
Mobile manipulation tasks are one of the key challenges in the field of search and rescue (SAR) robotics requiring robots with flexible locomotion and manipulation abilities. Since…
