Towards Shared Embodied Intelligence in Humanoid Robots through Optimization Development and Testing of the Human Aware ergoCub Robot
Carlotta Sartore, Mohamed Elobaid, Lorenzo Rapetti +13
Collaboration is central to human behavior, enabling tasks beyond individual capability. This ability arises from coordinating actions through internal representations of others, a…
Learning to Evaluate Autonomous Behaviour in Human-Robot Interaction
Matteo Tiezzi, Tommaso Apicella, Carlos Cardenas-Perez +5
Evaluating and comparing the performance of autonomous Humanoid Robots is challenging, as success rate metrics are difficult to reproduce and fail to capture the complexity of robo…
Adaptive Non-linear Centroidal MPC with Stability Guarantees for Robust Locomotion of Legged Robots
Mohamed Elobaid, Giulio Turrisi, Lorenzo Rapetti +7
Nonlinear model predictive locomotion controllers based on the reduced centroidal dynamics are nowadays ubiquitous in legged robots. These schemes, even if they assume an inherent…
Online DNN-driven Nonlinear MPC for Stylistic Humanoid Robot Walking with Step Adjustment
Giulio Romualdi, Paolo Maria Viceconte, Lorenzo Moretti +4
This paper presents a three-layered architecture that enables stylistic locomotion with online contact location adjustment. Our method combines an autoregressive Deep Neural Networ…
Remote telepresence over large distances via robot avatars: case studies
Mohamed Elobaid, Stefano Dafarra, Ehsan Ranjbari +5
This paper discusses the necessary considerations and adjustments that allow a recently proposed avatar system architecture to be used with different robotic avatar morphologies (b…
XBG: End-to-end Imitation Learning for Autonomous Behaviour in Human-Robot Interaction and Collaboration
Carlos Cardenas-Perez, Giulio Romualdi, Mohamed Elobaid +6
This paper presents XBG (eXteroceptive Behaviour Generation), a multimodal end-to-end Imitation Learning (IL) system for a whole-body autonomous humanoid robot used in real-world H…
