Demonstrating Event-Triggered Investigation and Sample Collection for Human Scientists using Field Robots and Large Foundation Models

Tirthankar Bandyopadhyay, Fletcher Talbot, Callum Bennie, Hashini Senaratne, Xun Li, Brendan Tidd +17
RSS 2024poster

In this paper, we introduce a pioneering end-to-end system demonstrated on a team of robots and sensors, designed to augment scientific exploration and discovery for human scientists in remote or inaccessible environments. We demonstrate and analyse our system's capability in a mock-up test-bed scen…

Multi-modal User Interface for Multi-robot Control in Underground Environments

Shengkang Chen, Matthew J. O'Brien, Fletcher Talbot, Jason Williams, Brendan Tidd, Alex Pitt +1
IROS 2022poster

Leveraging both the autonomy of robots and the expert knowledge of humans can enable a multi-robot system to complete missions in challenging environments with a high degree of adaptivity and robustness. This paper proposes a multi-modal task-based graphical user interface for controlling a heteroge…

Virtual Surfaces and Attitude Aware Planning and Behaviours for Negative Obstacle Navigation

Thomas Hines, Kazys Stepanas, Fletcher Talbot, Inkyu Sa, Jake Lewis, Emili Hernández +2
RA-L 2021

This letter presents an autonomous navigation system for ground robots traversing aggressive unstructured terrain through a cohesive arrangement of mapping, deliberative planning and reactive behaviour modules. All systems are aware of terrain slope, visibility and vehicle orientation, enabling robo

Magneto: A Versatile Multi-Limbed Inspection Robot

Tirthankar Bandyopadhyay, Ryan Steindl, Fletcher Talbot, Navinda Kottege, Ross Dungavell, Brett Wood +3
IROS 2018poster

In this paper we present the design and control strategies of a novel quadruped climbing robot (named Magneto) with three degrees of freedom (3-DOF) actuated limbs and a 3-DOF compliant magnetic foot. By exploiting its high degrees of freedom, Magneto is able to deform its body shape to squeeze thro…

The Multilegged Autonomous eXplorer (MAX)

Alberto Elfes, Ryan Steindl, Fletcher Talbot, Farid Kendoul, Pavan Sikka, Tom Lowe +7
ICRA 2017poster

To address the goal of locomotion in very complex and difficult terrains, the authors are developing a new class of Ultralight Legged Robots. This paper presents the Multilegged Autonomous eXplorer (MAX), an ultralight, six-legged robot for traversal and exploration of challenging indoor and outdoor…
