Robotics

We present a novel computational approach to optimizing the morphological design of robots.

We introduce a miniaturized active stabilization mechanism that attenuates such disturbances and keeps the camera steady.

In this paper, we use KUKA’s Fast Robot Interface (FRI) to design and implement a tracking controller on the Lightweight Robot (LBR) IIWA.

We demonstrate the efficacy of the algorithm on a theme-park type humanoid doing a drawing task, serving drink in a glass, and serving a drink placed on a tray without spilling.

We present a system enabling users to accurately catch a real ball while immersed in a virtual reality environment.

For this experiment, we designed a novel protocol to induce changes in the robot's group and study different social contexts.
