Open, Reproducible and Trustworthy Robot-Based Experiments with Virtual Labs and Digital-Twin-Based Execution Tracing
Benjamin Alt, Mareike Picklum, Sorin Arion +2
We envision a future in which autonomous robots conduct scientific experiments in ways that are not only precise and repeatable, but also open, trustworthy, and transparent. To rea…
Knowledge-Driven Robot Program Synthesis from Human VR Demonstrations
Benjamin Alt, Franklin Kenghagho Kenfack, Andrei Haidu +3
Aging societies, labor shortages and increasing wage costs call for assistance robots capable of autonomously performing a wide array of real-world tasks. Such open-ended robotic m…
The Robot Household Marathon Experiment
Gayane Kazhoyan, Simon Stelter, Franklin Kenghagho Kenfack +2
In this paper, we present an experiment, designed to investigate and evaluate the scalability and the robustness aspects of mobile manipulation. The experiment involves performing…
Imagination-enabled Robot Perception
Patrick Mania, Franklin Kenghagho Kenfack, Michael Neumann +1
Many of today's robot perception systems aim at accomplishing perception tasks that are too simplistic and too hard. They are too simplistic because they do not require the percept…
