Locomotion on unstructured terrain poses a significant challenge for wheeled mobile robots lacking reconfigurable mechanisms. Achieving both stability and agile motion in such environments requires a hybrid approach that leverages their adaptable nature to varying surface conditions while ensuring e
This study focuses on the creation of the KazEmoTTS dataset, designed for emotional Kazakh text-to-speech (TTS) applications. KazEmoTTS is a collection of 54,760 audio-text pairs, with a total duration of 74.85 hours, featuring 34.23 hours delivered by a female narrator and 40.62 hours by two male n…
We introduce KazParC, a parallel corpus designed for machine translation across Kazakh, English, Russian, and Turkish. The first and largest publicly available corpus of its kind, KazParC contains a collection of 371,902 parallel sentences covering different domains and developed with the assistance…
This paper presents KazSAnDRA, a dataset developed for Kazakh sentiment analysis that is the first and largest publicly available dataset of its kind. KazSAnDRA comprises an extensive collection of 180,064 reviews obtained from various sources and includes numerical ratings ranging from 1 to 5, prov…
Object manipulation performed by robots refers to the art of controlling the shape and location of an object through force constraints with robot end-effectors, both robot hands, and grippers. The success of task execution is usually guaranteed by the sense of touch. In this work, we present an opti
The sense of touch is essential for reliable mapping between the environment and a robot which interacts physically with objects. Presumably, an artificial tactile skin would facilitate safe interaction of the robots with the environment. In this work, we present our color-coded tactile sensor, inco…
Energy-aware motion planning for robotic systems has received increasing attention during recent years, due to environmental and economic reasons. This letter presents a framework for defining and solving different types of optimal control problems for variable stiffness actuated robots. These robot
Tactile sensing arrays are used to detect contacts of robotic systems with the environment. They are particularly useful for scenarios in which vision-based sensors cannot be used. Thanks to the presence of multiple sensing elements, tactile arrays also provide spatial information about the contact…
