Allocation for Omnidirectional Aerial Robots: Incorporating Power Dynamics
Eugenio Cuniato, Mike Allenspach, Thomas Stastny +3
Tilt-rotor aerial robots are more dynamic and versatile than fixed-rotor platforms, since the thrust vector and body orientation are decoupled. However, the coordination of servos…
Evaluation of Human-Robot Interfaces based on 2D/3D Visual and Haptic Feedback for Aerial Manipulation
Julien Mellet, Mike Allenspach, Eugenio Cuniato +3
Most telemanipulation systems for aerial robots provide the operator with only 2D screen visual information. The lack of richer information about the robot's status and environment…
Radar Meets Vision: Robustifying Monocular Metric Depth Prediction for Mobile Robotics
Marco Job, Thomas Stastny, Tim Kazik +2
Mobile robots require accurate and robust depth measurements to understand and interact with the environment. While existing sensing modalities address this problem to some extent,…
Pushing the Limits of Reactive Planning: Learning to Escape Local Minima
Isar Meijer, Michael Pantic, Helen Oleynikova +1
When does a robot planner need a map? Reactive methods that use only the robot's current sensor data and local information are fast and flexible, but prone to getting stuck in loca…
Task Adaptation in Industrial Human-Robot Interaction: Leveraging Riemannian Motion Policies
Mike Allenspach, Michael Pantic, Rik Girod +2
In real-world industrial environments, modern robots often rely on human operators for crucial decision-making and mission synthesis from individual tasks. Effective and safe colla…
Waverider: Leveraging Hierarchical, Multi-Resolution Maps for Efficient and Reactive Obstacle Avoidance
Victor Reijgwart, Michael Pantic, Roland Siegwart +1
Fast and reliable obstacle avoidance is an important task for mobile robots. In this work, we propose an efficient reactive system that provides high-quality obstacle avoidance whi…
Enhancing Sliding Performance with Aerial Robots: Analysis and Solutions for Non-Actuated Multi-Wheel Configurations
Tong Hui, Jefferson Ghielmini, Dimitrios Papageorgiou +3
Sliding tasks performed by aerial robots are valuable for inspection and simple maintenance tasks at height, such as non-destructive testing and painting. Although various end-effe…
VIRUS-NeRF -- Vision, InfraRed and UltraSonic based Neural Radiance Fields
Nicolaj Schmid, Cornelius von Einem, Cesar Cadena +3
Autonomous mobile robots are an increasingly integral part of modern factory and warehouse operations. Obstacle detection, avoidance and path planning are critical safety-relevant…
Passive Aligning Physical Interaction of Fully-Actuated Aerial Vehicles for Pushing Tasks
Tong Hui, Eugenio Cuniato, Michael Pantic +3
Recently, the utilization of aerial manipulators for performing pushing tasks in non-destructive testing (NDT) applications has seen significant growth. Such operations entail phys…
Geranos: a Novel Tilted-Rotors Aerial Robot for the Transportation of Poles
Nicolas Gorlo, Samuel Bamert, Rafael Cathomen +8
In challenging terrains, constructing structures such as antennas and cable-car masts often requires the use of helicopters to transport loads via ropes. The swinging of the load,…
