A representation of robotic behaviors using component port arbitration
Ali Paikan, Giorgio Metta, Lorenzo Natale
Developing applications considering reactiveness, scalability and re-usability has always been at the center of attention of robotic researchers. Behavior-based architectures have…
A Flexible and Robust Large Scale Capacitive Tactile System for Robots
Perla Maiolino, Marco Maggiali, Giorgio Cannata +2
Capacitive technology allows building sensors that are small, compact and have high sensitivity. For this reason it has been widely adopted in robotics. In a previous work we prese…
Gaze Stabilization for Humanoid Robots: a Comprehensive Framework
Alessandro Roncone, Ugo Pattacini, Giorgio Metta +1
Gaze stabilization is an important requisite for humanoid robots. Previous work on this topic has focused on the integration of inertial and visual information. Little attention ha…
Enhancing software module reusability using port plug-ins: an experiment with the iCub robot
Ali Paikan, Vadim Tikhanoff, Giorgio Metta +1
Systematically developing high--quality reusable software components is a difficult task and requires careful design to find a proper balance between potential reuse, functionaliti…
Partial Force Control of Constrained Floating-Base Robots
Andrea Del Prete, Nicolas Mansard, Francesco Nori +2
Legged robots are typically in rigid contact with the environment at multiple locations, which add a degree of complexity to their control. We present a method to control the motio…
Prioritized Optimal Control
Andrea Del Prete, Francesco Romano, Lorenzo Natale +3
This paper presents a new technique to control highly redundant mechanical systems, such as humanoid robots. We take inspiration from two approaches. Prioritized control is a wides…
