Rethinking the Role of Collaborative Robots in Rehabilitation
Vivek Gupte, Shalutha Rajapakshe, Emmanuel Senft
Current research on collaborative robots (cobots) in physical rehabilitation largely focuses on repeated motion training for people undergoing physical therapy (PuPT), even though…
Giving Sense to Inputs: Toward an Accessible Control Framework for Shared Autonomy
Shalutha Rajapakshe, Jean-Marc Odobez, Emmanuel Senft
While shared autonomy offers significant potential for assistive robotics, key questions remain about how to effectively map 2D control inputs to 6D robot motions. An intuitive fra…
GeoSACS: Geometric Shared Autonomy via Canal Surfaces
Shalutha Rajapakshe, Atharva Dastenavar, Michael Hagenow +2
We introduce GeoSACS, a geometric framework for shared autonomy (SA). In variable environments, SA methods can be used to combine robotic capabilities with real-time human input in…
Collaborative Ground-Aerial Multi-Robot System for Disaster Response Missions with a Low-Cost Drone Add-On for Off-the-Shelf Drones
Shalutha Rajapakshe, Dilanka Wickramasinghe, Sahan Gurusinghe +6
In disaster-stricken environments, it's vital to assess the damage quickly, analyse the stability of the environment, and allocate resources to the most vulnerable areas where vict…
Design and Development of a Research Oriented Low Cost Robotics Platform with a Novel Dynamic Global Path Planning Approach
Shalutha Rajapakshe, Ramith Hettiarachchi
Autonomous navigation systems based on computer vision sensors often require sophisticated robotics platforms which are very expensive. This poses a barrier for the implementation…
