MOSAIC: Modular Scalable Autonomy for Intelligent Coordination of Heterogeneous Robotic Teams
David Oberacker, Julia Richter, Philip Arm +10
Mobile robots have become indispensable for exploring hostile environments, such as in space or disaster relief scenarios, but often remain limited to teleoperation by a human oper…
A Practical Framework of Key Performance Indicators for Multi-Robot Lunar and Planetary Field Tests
Julia Richter, David Oberacker, Gabriela Ligeza +10
Robotic prospecting for critical resources on the Moon, such as ilmenite, rare earth elements, and water ice, requires robust exploration methods given the diverse terrain and hars…
Efficient Learning-Based Control of a Legged Robot in Lunar Gravity
Philip Arm, Oliver Fischer, Joseph Church +3
Legged robots are promising candidates for exploring challenging areas on low-gravity bodies such as the Moon, Mars, or asteroids, thanks to their advanced mobility on unstructured…
Magnecko: Design and Control of a Quadrupedal Magnetic Climbing Robot
Stefan Leuthard, Timo Eugster, Nicolas Faesch +12
Climbing robots hold significant promise for applications such as industrial inspection and maintenance, particularly in hazardous or hard-to-reach environments. This paper describ…
Perceptive Pedipulation with Local Obstacle Avoidance
Jonas Stolle, Philip Arm, Mayank Mittal +1
Pedipulation leverages the feet of legged robots for mobile manipulation, eliminating the need for dedicated robotic arms. While previous works have showcased blind and task-specif…
