In this paper, we present an experiment, designed to investigate and evaluate the scalability and the robustness aspects of mobile manipulation. The experiment involves performing variations of mobile pick and place actions and opening/closing environment containers in a human household. The robot i…
In this paper, we present an approach and an implemented pipeline for transferring data acquired from observing humans in virtual environments onto robots acting in the real world, and adapting the data accordingly to achieve successful task execution. We demonstrate our pipeline by inferring seven…
For robots to work outside of laboratory settings, their plans should be applicable to a variety of environments, objects, task contexts, and hardware platforms. This requires general-purpose methods that are, at this moment, not sufficiently performant for real-world applications. We propose an app
As autonomous, mobile robots are increasingly entering our everyday lives and the tasks they are to perform are getting continuously more complex and versatile, instructing robots by means of natural-language commands becomes more and more important. Such instructions, stated by humans and originall…
