Blind as a Bat: Audible Echolocation on Small Robots

Martin Vetterli, Mihailo Kolundzija, Adrien Guillaume Olivier Hoffet, Adam James Scholefield, Frederike Dümbgen

For safe and efficient operation, mobile robots need to perceive their environment, and in particular, perform tasks such as obstacle detection, localization, and mapping. Although robots are often equipped with microphones and speakers, the audio modality ...

Leveraging Multi-Level Modelling to Automatically Design Behavioral Arbitrators in Robotic Controllers

Alcherio Martinoli, Cyrill Silvan Baumann, Hugo Richard Birch

Automatic control design for robotic systems is becoming more and more popular. However, this usually involves a significant computational cost, due to the expensive and noisy evaluation of candidate solutions through highfidelity simulation or even real h ...

Advancing the Adaptability of Compliant Robot Controllers for Exploration, Interaction, and Manipulation

Farshad Khadivar

As technology continues to evolve, robots are becoming an intrinsic part of our lives. While robots surpass human capabilities in precision and speed, they are far from matching humans' ability to adapt to unexpected changes. Humans can quickly and complia ...

A Noise-Resistant Mixed-Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for the Automatic Design of Robotic Controllers

Alcherio Martinoli, Cyrill Silvan Baumann

The automatic design of well-performing robotic controllers is still an unsolved problem due to the inherently large parameter space and noisy, often hard-to-define performance metrics, especially when sequential tasks need to be accomplished. Distal contr ...

PlaceNet: A multi-scale semantic-aware model for visual loop closure detection

Hussein Fadl Hassan Hassan Osman

Loop closure detection helps simultaneous localization and mapping systems reduce map and state uncertainty via recognizing previously visited places along the path of a mobile robot. However, visual loop closure detection is susceptible to scenes with dyn ...

Are socially-aware trajectory prediction models really socially-aware?

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Seyed Mohsen Moosavi Dezfooli, Saeed Saadatnejad, Mohammadhossein Bahari, Pedram Khorsandi

Our transportation field has recently witnessed an arms race of neural network-based trajectory predictors. While these predictors are at the core of many applications such as autonomous navigation or pedestrian flow simulations, their adversarial robustne ...

Social NCE: Contrastive Learning of Socially-aware Motion Representations

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Yuejiang Liu

Learning socially-aware motion representations is at the core of recent advances in multi-agent problems, such as human motion forecasting and robot navigation in crowds. Despite promising progress, existing representations learned with neural networks sti ...

Blind as a bat: spatial perception without sight

Frederike Dümbgen

Among our five senses, we rely mostly on audition and vision to perceive an environment. Our ears are able to detect stimuli from all directions, especially from obstructed and far-away objects. Even in smoke, harsh weather conditions, or at night â situ ...
