Locating and identifying objects in vision-denied environments is a critical challenge for intelligent robot systems. To address the limitation of vision, we present a tactile-only method for object search and recognition using custom tactile skin sensors on robot hands. The method involves searchin…
Game theory is a branch of mathematics that studies strategic interactions among rational agents. We propose Alympics (Olympics for Agents), a systematic framework utilizing Large Language Model (LLM) agents for empirical game theory research. Alympics creates a versatile platform for studying compl…
The human somatosensory system integrates multimodal sensory feedback, including tactile, proprioceptive, and thermal signals, to enable comprehensive perception and effective interaction with the environment. Inspired by the biological mechanism, we present a sensorized soft anthropomorphic hand eq
In this letter, we present a method for realizing the heat-evoked nociceptive withdrawal reflex (NWR) in the upper limb of a humanoid robot so that it can avoid the potential damage caused by noxious heat. We use a spiking neural network whose structure, encoding scheme, and form of information tran
In this letter, we present a fast method for autonomously planing manipulation tasks for mobile manipulators. The planner defines an optimal order to perform pick-and-place operations for taking objects from a cluttered scene to specific deposit areas considering both, manipulator and mobile base mo
