A Comparison of Pneumatic Actuators for Soft Growing Vine Robots
Alexander M. Kübler, Cosima du Pasquier, Andrew Low +6
Soft pneumatic actuators are used to steer soft growing "vine" robots while being flexible enough to undergo the tip eversion required for growth. In this study, we compared the pe…
A Multi-Segment, Soft Growing Robot with Selective Steering
Alexander M. Kübler, Sebastián Urdaneta Rivera, Frances B. Raphael +3
Everting, soft growing vine robots benefit from reduced friction with their environment, which allows them to navigate challenging terrain. Vine robots can use air pouches attached…
On the programming effort required to generate Behavior Trees and Finite State Machines for robotic applications
Matteo Iovino, Julian Förster, Pietro Falco +3
In this paper we provide a practical demonstration of how the modularity in a Behavior Tree (BT) decreases the effort in programming a robot task when compared to a Finite State Ma…
RoBoa: Construction and Evaluation of a Steerable Vine Robot for Search and Rescue Applications
Pascal Auf der Maur, Betim Djambazi, Yves Haberthür +10
RoBoa is a vine-like search and rescue robot that can explore narrow and cluttered environments such as destroyed buildings. The robot assists rescue teams in finding and communica…
Points2Vec: Unsupervised Object-level Feature Learning from Point Clouds
Joël Bachmann, Kenneth Blomqvist, Julian Förster +1
Unsupervised representation learning techniques, such as learning word embeddings, have had a significant impact on the field of natural language processing. Similar representation…
Go Fetch: Mobile Manipulation in Unstructured Environments
Kenneth Blomqvist, Michel Breyer, Andrei Cramariuc +7
With humankind facing new and increasingly large-scale challenges in the medical and domestic spheres, automation of the service sector carries a tremendous potential for improved…
Meteorology-Aware Multi-Goal Path Planning for Large-Scale Inspection Missions with Long-Endurance Solar-Powered Aircraft
Philipp Oettershagen, Julian Förster, Lukas Wirth +2
Solar-powered aircraft promise significantly increased flight endurance over conventional aircraft. While this makes them promising candidates for large-scale aerial inspection mis…
