Borrowed Eyes: Markerless Nano-UAV Flight with an Active Quadruped Observer
Alejandro Lorite Mora, Dimitrios Arapis, Andrés Faíña
Nano unmanned aerial vehicles (nano-UAVs) can navigate confined spaces that larger robots cannot, but their payload capacity severely limits the sensors and compute available for s…
Towards Quadruped-Provided Localization and Active Tracking for Micro-UAVs
Alejandro Lorite Mora, Andrés Faíña
Micro unmanned aerial vehicles (micro-UAVs) are small enough to reach confined spaces that larger robots cannot access, but too small to carry the sensing and computing power requi…
Heterogeneous object manipulation on nonlinear soft surface through linear controller
Pratik Ingle, Kasper Støy, Andres Faiña
Manipulation surfaces indirectly control and reposition objects by actively modifying their shape or properties rather than directly gripping objects. These surfaces, equipped with…
Autonomous nanoparticle synthesis by design
Andy S. Anker, Jonas H. Jensen, Miguel Gonzalez-Duque +9
Controlled synthesis of materials with specified atomic structures underpins technological advances yet remains reliant on iterative, trial-and-error approaches. Nanoparticles (NPs…
Soft Manipulation Surface With Reduced Actuator Density For Heterogeneous Object Manipulation
Pratik Ingle, Kasper Støy, Andres Faiña
Object manipulation in robotics faces challenges due to diverse object shapes, sizes, and fragility. Gripper-based methods offer precision and low degrees of freedom (DOF) but the…
Learning Hands-On Electronics from Home: A Simulator for Fritzing
Andres Faiña
The recent pandemic has forced us to teach online, which is especially difficult for hand-on courses in robotics, like basic electronics. In this paper, I present a simulator which…
Physical Neural Cellular Automata for 2D Shape Classification
Kathryn Walker, Rasmus Berg Palm, Rodrigo Moreno Garcia +3
Materials with the ability to self-classify their own shape have the potential to advance a wide range of engineering applications and industries. Biological systems possess the ab…
An Experiment in Morphological Development for Learning ANN Based Controllers
M. Naya-Varela, A. Faina, R. J. Duro
Morphological development is part of the way any human or animal learns. The learning processes starts with the morphology at birth and progresses through changing morphologies unt…
Some Experiments on the influence of Problem Hardness in Morphological Development based Learning of Neural Controllers
M. Naya-Varela, A. Faina, R. J. Duro
Natural beings undergo a morphological development process of their bodies while they are learning and adapting to the environments they face from infancy to adulthood. In fact, th…
