This paper presents GARMI’s successful outdoor demonstration during the Kandahar Ski World Cup, where it performed trophy handovers in sub-zero temperatures. The event highlighted challenges in deploying robots in extreme conditions, including fluctuating temperatures and uneven terrain. GARMI achie
As robots become more and more intelligent, the complexity of the algorithms behind them is increasing. Since these algorithms require high computation power from the onboard robot controller, the weight of the robot and energy consumption increases. A promising solution to tackle this issue is to r…
Identifying the inertial parameters of real robotic manipulators is a fundamental step towards realistic modeling and better controller performances, which is crucial for safe human-robot interaction. Our work introduces a novel framework for identifying a generalized set of base inertial parameters…
The current crisis surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the amount of responsibility and the workload on our healthcare system and, above all, on the medical staff around the world. In this work, we propose a promising approach to overcome this problem using robot-assisted telediagnostics,
The need for comprehensive telemedicine solutions is becoming increasingly relevant due to challenges associated with the ageing population, the increasing shortage of health-care providers, and, more recently, the global pandemic. Existing solutions primarily focus on, e.g., electronic medical reco…
This letter introduces GARMI, a service robotics platform conceptualized with a focus on assisting elderly at home. GARMI is designed to provide support with household tasks, as an avatar for tactile-enabled communication and as an interface for telemedicine and emergency assistance. Its unique huma
