Introducing mobile robots on the automotive final assembly line : control, sensing and human-robot interaction
… precursor for introducing robots to operational factory floors. Automotive assembly lines present a distinct challenge in form of surfaces that are dynamic, i.e., the conveyor belts which ferry cars in the factory. I develop a control strategy to enable autonomous navigation on such dynamic …

Robot Graph Grammars: Towards Custom Robots for Every Task
As robots find broader applications outside factory floors, they face an increasing number of challenges. For example, they must accommodate rugged terrain, limited battery capacity, and complex dynamics. Existing robots are largely designed by hand to meet a given set of specifications. While …

Mind-theoretic planning for social robots
As robots move out of factory floors and into human environments, out from safe barricaded workstations to operating in close proximity with people, they will increasingly be expected to understand and coordinate with basic aspects of human behavior. If they are to become useful and productive …
