Real-Time Localization for Closed-Loop Control of Assistive Furniture

Auke Ijspeert, Alexandre Massoud Alahi, George Adaimi, Chuanfang Ning, Lixuan Tang, Anastasia Bolotnikova

For people with limited mobility, navigating in cluttered indoor environment is challenging. In this work, we propose a mobile assistive furniture suite that is designed to ease the life of people with special needs in indoor movement. To enable intelligen ...

Agent Prioritization and Virtual Drag Minimization in Dynamical System Modulation For Obstacle Avoidance of Decentralized Swarms

Aude Billard, Auke Ijspeert, Lukas Huber, Anastasia Bolotnikova

Efficient and safe multi-agent swarm coordination in environments where humans operate, such as warehouses, assistive living rooms, or automated hospitals, is crucial for adopting automation. In this paper, we augment the obstacle avoidance algorithm based ...

A Dynamical System Approach to Decentralized Collision-free Autonomous Coordination of a Mobile Assistive Furniture Swarm

Aude Billard, Auke Ijspeert, Lukas Huber, Anastasia Bolotnikova

In order to facilitate and assist the indoor mobility of people with special needs, the classically static objects in the environment, such as furniture, can be rendered mobile. The need for efficient and safe autonomous coordination of a mobile furniture ...

Modular robot networking: a novel schema and its performance assessment

Jamie Paik, Christoph Heinrich Belke, Kevin Andrew Holdcroft, Anastasia Bolotnikova

Modular robots (MRs) consist of unique robots which interconnect and work as a collective to perform objectives. Coordinating these robots rely on robust communication, as modules moving independently can lead to damaging behaviour. We present a robust str ...

Adaptive Task-Space Force Control for Humanoid-to-Human Assistance

Anastasia Bolotnikova

We envision a humanoid robot to serve as a source of additional motion-support forces in assistance for frail persons. In this context, we present a control strategy for a humanoid to adaptively regulate its assistive force contribution. First, we identify ...
