Christian Lenz, Jan Quenzel, Arul Selvam Periyasamy +7
Autonomous robotic systems for various applications including transport, mobile manipulation, and disaster response are becoming more and more complex. Evaluating and analyzing suc…
Autonomous Wall Building with a UGV-UAV Team at MBZIRC 2020
Christian Lenz, Max Schwarz, Andre Rochow +4
Constructing large structures with robots is a challenging task with many potential applications that requires mobile manipulation capabilities. We present two systems for autonomo…
Autonomous Bimanual Functional Regrasping of Novel Object Class Instances
Dmytro Pavlichenko, Diego Rodriguez, Christian Lenz +2
In human-made scenarios, robots need to be able to fully operate objects in their surroundings, i.e., objects are required to be functionally grasped rather than only picked. This…
Flexible Disaster Response of Tomorrow -- Final Presentation and Evaluation of the CENTAURO System
Tobias Klamt, Diego Rodriguez, Lorenzo Baccelliere +29
Mobile manipulation robots have high potential to support rescue forces in disaster-response missions. Despite the difficulties imposed by real-world scenarios, robots are promisin…
