AI-Driven Adaptive Autonomy: Is AI Really Pervasive? Research Gaps from Bibliometric Assessment

ICRA 2026poster

Artificial Intelligence is widely recognised as a driver of adaptive autonomy in robotics. Yet, the extent to which AI techniques truly permeate the functional architecture of autonomous systems is still only partially characterised. Existing bibliometric analyses typically map research themes, keyw…

Design, Development and Validation of a Dynamic Fall Prediction System for Excavators

ICRA 2021poster

Safety can be listed as one of the most important aspects of every working environment, from the low risky to the most dangerous one. Construction sites can be clearly identified among the riskiest working fields, mainly because several complex and fast maneuvers are executed in a very crowded, dyna…

Design of an under-actuated wrist based on adaptive synergies

ICRA 2017poster

An effective robotic wrist represents a key enabling element in robotic manipulation, especially in prosthetics. In this paper, we propose an under-actuated wrist system, which is also adaptable and allows to implement different under-actuation schemes. Our approach leverages upon the idea of soft s…

Design and realization of the CUFF - clenching upper-limb force feedback wearable device for distributed mechano-tactile stimulation of normal and tangential skin forces

IROS 2015poster

Rendering forces to the user is one of the main goals of haptic technology. While most force-feedback interfaces are robotic manipulators, attached to a fixed frame and designed to exert forces on the users while being moved, more recent haptic research introduced two novel important ideas. On one s…
