Robot task programming often leads to inefficient plans, as opportunities for parallelization and precomputation are usually not exploited by the programmer. This inefficiency is often especially obvious in mobile manipulation, where path planning …
Implementing complex, autonomous robotic behavior using an intuitive graphical interface
In the context of space missions and terrestrial applications, both mission goals and task implementations for autonomous robots are becoming increasingly complex. Thus, the challenge of monitoring the achievement of task objectives and checking the …
Robotic systems map unknown terrain and collect scientific relevant data of foreign planets. Currently, pilots from Earth steer these rovers on Moon and Mars surfaces via teleoperation. However, remote control suffers from a high delay of the long …
Planetary exploration poses many challenges for a robot system. From weight and size constraints to extraterrestrial environment conditions, which constrain the suitable sensors and actuators. As the distance to other planets introduces a significant …
Robotic tasks are becoming increasingly complex, and with this also the robotic systems. This requires new tools to manage this complexity and to orchestrate the systems to fulfill demanding autonomous tasks. For this purpose, we developed a new …
