CHARTOPOLIS: A Small-Scale Labor-art-ory for Research and Reflection on Autonomous Vehicles, Human-Robot Interaction, and Sociotechnical Imaginaries
Sangeet Sankaramangalam Ulhas, Aditya Ravichander, Kathryn A. Johnson +3
CHARTOPOLIS is a multi-faceted sociotechnical testbed meant to aid in building connections among engineers, psychologists, anthropologists, ethicists, and artists. Superficially, i…
Configuration Tracking Control of a Multi-Segment Soft Robotic Arm Using a Cosserat Rod Model
Azadeh Doroudchi, Zhi Qiao, Wenlong Zhang +1
Controlling soft continuum robotic arms is challenging due to their hyper-redundancy and dexterity. In this paper we demonstrate, for the first time, closed-loop control of the con…
Probabilistic Consensus on Feature Distribution for Multi-robot Systems with Markovian Exploration Dynamics
Aniket Shirsat, Shatadal Mishra, Wenlong Zhang +1
In this paper, we present a consensus-based decentralized multi-robot approach to reconstruct a discrete distribution of features, modeled as an occupancy grid map, that represent…
Towards Decentralized Human-Swarm Interaction by Means of Sequential Hand Gesture Recognition
Zahi Kakish, Sritanay Vedartham, Spring Berman
In this work, we present preliminary work on a novel method for Human-Swarm Interaction (HSI) that can be used to change the macroscopic behavior of a swarm of robots with decentra…
Using Reinforcement Learning to Herd a Robotic Swarm to a Target Distribution
Zahi M. Kakish, Karthik Elamvazhuthi, Spring Berman
In this paper, we present a reinforcement learning approach to designing a control policy for a "leader" agent that herds a swarm of "follower" agents, via repulsive interactions,…
Automated Construction of Metric Maps using a Stochastic Robotic Swarm Leveraging Received Signal Strength
Ragesh K. Ramachandran, Spring Berman
In this work, we present a novel automated procedure for constructing a metric map of an unknown domain with obstacles using uncertain position data collected by a swarm of resourc…
