Safe Robot Reflexes: A Taxonomy-based Decision and Modulation Framework (2024)
Journal Article
Vorndamme, J., Melone, A., Kirschner, R., Figueredo, L., & Haddadin, S. (2024). Safe Robot Reflexes: A Taxonomy-based Decision and Modulation Framework. IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 1-20. https://doi.org/10.1109/tro.2024.3519421

Recent advances in control and planning allow for seamless physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). At the same time, novel challenges appear in orchestrating intelligent decision-making and ensuring safe control of robots. Particularly in scenarios...

Passer Kinematic Cues for Object Weight Prediction in a Simulated Robot-Human Handover (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Günter, C., Figueredo, L., Hermsdörfer, J., & Franklin, D. W. (2024, November). Passer Kinematic Cues for Object Weight Prediction in a Simulated Robot-Human Handover. Presented at 2024 IEEE-RAS 23rd International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids), Nancy, France

Object handovers, a seemingly straightforward action, involve a complex interplay of predictive and reactive control mechanisms in both partners. Understanding the cues that are used by humans to predict object properties is needed for planning natur...

The Fingertip Manipulability Assessment of Tendon-Driven Multi-Fingered Hands (2024)
Journal Article
Li, J., Ganguly, A., Figueredo, L. F. C., & Haddadin, S. (2024). The Fingertip Manipulability Assessment of Tendon-Driven Multi-Fingered Hands. IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 9(3), 2726-2733. https://doi.org/10.1109/lra.2024.3360816

The ability of robotic fingers to exert force and exhibit motion is vital for achieving dexterity in manipulation tasks. To evaluate dexterous capabilities in terms of both features, i.e., quantifying finger performance that facilitates task planning...

Predictive Multi-Agent-Based Planning and Landing Controller for Reactive Dual-Arm Manipulation (2023)
Journal Article
Laha, R., Becker, M., Vorndamme, J., Vrabel, J., Figueredo, L. F., Müller, M. A., & Haddadin, S. (2024). Predictive Multi-Agent-Based Planning and Landing Controller for Reactive Dual-Arm Manipulation. IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 40, 864-885. https://doi.org/10.1109/TRO.2023.3341689

Future robots operating in fast-changing anthropomorphic environments need to be reactive, safe, flexible, and intuitively use both arms (comparable to humans) to handle task-space constrained manipulation scenarios. Furthermore, dynamic environments... Read More about Predictive Multi-Agent-Based Planning and Landing Controller for Reactive Dual-Arm Manipulation.
