A Portable Approach to High-Level Behavioral Programming for Complex Autonomous Robot Applications
Research in mobile robotics, unmanned systems, and autonomous man-portable vehicles has grown rapidly over the last decade. This push has taken the problems of robot cognition and behavioral control out of the lab and into the field. Two good examples of this are the DARPA Urban Challenge …

Visibility-Aware Navigation Among Movable Obstacles
We examine the problem of visibility-aware robot navigation among movable obstacles (VANAMO). A variant of the well-known NAMO robotic planning problem, VANAMO puts additional visibility constraints on robot motion and object movability. This new problem formulation lifts the restrictive assumption …

Methodologies and Tools for the Emergence of Cooperation in Biorobotics.
… the emergence of cooperation within a colony of robots. The proposed idea was to furnish each robot with identical cognitive architectures, applying them in a reward-based learning mechanism leading to the emergence of cooperation capabilities and perform tasks where one robot alone cannot …

Impact of Robot Motions on User Interaction and Workload in Cooperative Assembly. Perceived Safety and Salience of Nearby Collaborative Robots in Human-Robot Working Cells
This dissertation addresses the effects of robot behavior, especially motions, on the user in human-robot applications. When working in such an environment, the operator safety is paramount. Likewise, the user’s perceived safety is essential for well-being, minimizing fatigue effects and ultimately …
