Transfer Learning in Robotics: An Upcoming Breakthrough? A Review of Promises and Challenges
Noémie Jaquier, Michael C. Welle, Andrej Gams +6
Transfer learning is a conceptually-enticing paradigm in pursuit of truly intelligent embodied agents. The core concept -- reusing prior knowledge to learn in and from novel situat…
Incremental Learning of Humanoid Robot Behavior from Natural Interaction and Large Language Models
Leonard Bärmann, Rainer Kartmann, Fabian Peller-Konrad +3
Natural-language dialog is key for intuitive human-robot interaction. It can be used not only to express humans' intents, but also to communicate instructions for improvement if a…
Uncertainty-aware Risk Assessment of Robotic Systems via Importance Sampling
Woo-Jeong Baek, Tom P. Huck, Joschka Haas +3
In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic approach to risk assessment of robot systems by focusing on the impact of uncertainties. While various approaches to identifying systema…
On the Design of Region-Avoiding Metrics for Collision-Safe Motion Generation on Riemannian Manifolds
Holger Klein, Noémie Jaquier, Andre Meixner +1
The generation of energy-efficient and dynamic-aware robot motions that satisfy constraints such as joint limits, self-collisions, and collisions with the environment remains a cha…
Interactive and Incremental Learning of Spatial Object Relations from Human Demonstrations
Rainer Kartmann, Tamim Asfour
Humans use semantic concepts such as spatial relations between objects to describe scenes and communicate tasks such as "Put the tea to the right of the cup" or "Move the plate bet…
Virtual Reality via Object Pose Estimation and Active Learning: Realizing Telepresence Robots with Aerial Manipulation Capabilities
Jongseok Lee, Ribin Balachandran, Konstantin Kondak +6
This article presents a novel telepresence system for advancing aerial manipulation in dynamic and unstructured environments. The proposed system not only features a haptic device,…
