Marine Robots Mapping the Present and the Past: Unraveling the Secrets of the Deep

Underwater cultural heritage sites are subject to constant change, whether due to natural forces such as sediments, waves, currents or human intervention. Until a few decades ago, the documentation and research of these sites was mostly don...

Learning Robotics, with Robotics, by Robotics

Is a Cambrian Explosion Coming for Robotics?

About half a billion years ago, life on earth experienced a short period of very rapid diversification called the “Cambrian Explosion.” Many theories have been proposed for the cause of the Cambrian Explosion, one of the most provocative be...

Rehabilitation Robotics: Performance-Based Progressive Robot-Assisted Therapy

Introduction to robotics: Mechanics and control

Socially Assistive Robotics

This paper defines the research area of socially assistive robotics, focusing on assisting people through social interaction. While much attention has been paid to robots that provide assistance to people through physical contact (which we ...

In the Ensemble with Technical Subjects

Introduction. The purpose of the paper is to test the hypothesis about the entry into the social interactions of actors of a special kind - devices with artificial intelligence. The author proposes to discuss a hypothesis about the emergenc...

LPMP: A Bio-Inspired Model for Visual Localization in Challenging Environments

Autonomous vehicles require precise and reliable self-localization to cope with dynamic environments. The field of visual place recognition (VPR) aims to solve this challenge by relying on the visual modality to recognize a place despite ch...

Characterization of Wing Kinematics by Decoupling Joint Movement in the Pigeon

Birds have remarkable flight capabilities due to their adaptive wing morphology. However, studying live birds is time-consuming and laborious, and obtaining information about the complete wingbeat cycle is difficult. To address this issue a...
