Adapting to Frequent Human Direction Changes in Autonomous Frontal Following Robots

RA-L 2025

This letter addresses the challenge of robot follow ahead applications where the human behavior is highly variable. We propose a novel approach that does not rely on single human trajectory prediction but instead considers multiple potential future positions of the human, along with their associated

Sample-Efficient Policy Adaptation for Exoskeletons Under Variations in the Users and the Environment

RA-L 2022

Controlling lower-limb exoskeletons is extremely challenging due to their direct physical interaction with users wearing them which imposes additional safety concerns. Furthermore, the control policy needs to adapt for different users and surfaces the robot is traversing. Hence, it is crucial to des
