With the goal of creating efficient human-aware robot navigation systems, we present a Context-aware Model Predictive Control (MPC) formulation designed specifically for dynamic and crowded environments. State-of-the-art approaches use mainly geometric information and predictions of human motion, th
Long-time operations of autonomous vehicles and mobile robots in logistics and service applications are still a challenge. To avoid a continuous re-mapping, the map can be updated to obtain a consistent representation of the current environment. In this paper, we propose a novel LIDAR-based occupanc…
Warehouse logistics is a rapidly growing market for robots. However, one key procedure that has not received much attention is the unwrapping of pallets to prepare them for objects picking. In fact, to prevent the goods from falling and to protect them, pallets are normally wrapped in plastic when t
