    • Assistent(e)s robòtiqu(e)s: un punt de confluència entre tecnociència i humanitats 

      Torras, Carme (2017)
      Article
      Accés obert
      La robòtica industrial està donant pas a una robòtica de caire més social i assistencial. Simplificant, podríem dir que mentre els robots industrials han ocupat llocs de treball que requereixen manipular materials rígids ...
    • Comparison of interaction modalities for mobile indoor robot guidance : direct physical interaction, person following, and pointing control 

      Jevtic, Aleksandar; Doisy, Guillaume; Parmet, Ysrael; Edan, Yael (2015)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Three advanced natural interaction modalities for mobile robot guidance in an indoor environment were developed and compared using two tasks and quantitative metrics to measure performance and workload. The first interaction ...
    • Continuous real time POMCP to find-and-follow people by a humanoid service robot

    • Demonstration-free contextualized probabilistic movement primitives, further enhanced with obstacle avoidance 

      Colomé Figueras, Adrià; Torras, Carme (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      Movement Primitives (MPs) have been widely used over the last years for learning robot motion tasks with direct Policy Search (PS) reinforcement learning. Among them, Probabilistic Movement Primitives (ProMPs) are a kind ...
    • Dimensionality reduction for probabilistic movement primitives 

      Colomé Figueras, Adrià; Neumann, Gerhard; Peters, Jan; Torras, Carme (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      Humans as well as humanoid robots can use a large number of degrees of freedom to solve very complex motor tasks. The high-dimensionality of these motor tasks adds difficulties to the control problem and machine learning ...
    • Kinematic Bézier maps 

      Ulbrich, Stefan; Ruiz de Angulo García, Vicente; Torras, Carme; Asfour, Tamim; Dillmann, Rudiger (2012)
      Article
      Accés obert
      The kinematics of a robot with many degrees of freedom is a very complex function. Learning this function for a large workspace with a good precision requires a huge number of training samples, i.e., robot movements. In ...
    • Motion planning using first-order synergies 

      García Hidalgo, Néstor; Rosell Gratacòs, Jan; Suárez Feijóo, Raúl (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015)
      Comunicació de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      This paper proposes a novel motion planning approach that exploits the concept of synergies (correlations) between degrees of freedom, extending it to the velocity space and calling them first-order synergies. An automatic ...
    • On the application of CMA-ES to biped walk 

      Suárez Hernández, Alejandro; Miralles, Carles; Medina, Salvador (2017)
      Report de recerca
      Accés obert
      This project studies the applicability of Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategies to enable a biped robot to walk with no previous knowledge. While most work on the subject is based on Genetic Algorithms, we ...
    • On-line adaptive side-by-side human robot companion in dynamic urban environments 

      Repiso Polo, Ely; Ferrer Mínguez, Gonzalo; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      This paper presents an adaptive side-by-side human-robot companion approach for navigation in urban dynamic environments, based on the anticipative kinodynamic planning. The adaptive means that the robot is capable of ...
    • On-line adaptive side-by-side human robot companion to approach a moving person to interact 

      Repiso Polo, Ely; Garrell Zulueta, Anais; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Springer, 2018)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      In this paper, we present an on-line adaptive side-by-side human-robot companion to approach a moving person to interact with. Our framework makes the pair robot-human capable of overpass, in a joint way, the dynamic and ...
    • Robot approaching and engaging people in a human-robot companion framework 

      Repiso Polo, Ely; Garrell Zulueta, Anais; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      This paper presents a new model to make robots capable of approaching and engaging people with a human-like behavior, while they are walking in a side-by-side formation with a person. This method extends our previous work ...
    • Social robots: a meeting point between science and fiction 

      Torras, Carme (2015)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Industrial robots and androids in science fiction were worlds apart until recently, but now begin to merge with the rapid development of social robotics. Given the growing need for labour in the healthcare and service ...
