Performing shotcrete operations at construction sites can be hazardous to humans and inefficient. Robots can offer a safer and more efficient alternative to assist in these tasks. We present a new planning strategy for shotcrete robots, including both the spraying and surface finishing phases, that
Impacts and other non-smooth behaviors are usually unwanted in robotic applications. However, several industrial tasks such as deburring, removing excess material, and assembling/fitting, involve impacts between objects, which can benefit from robotic automation due to the risks posed to human healt…
Prolonged remote tele-locomanipulation of multi degrees-of-freedom mobile manipulators requires a compromise between the system’s performance and the operator’s ergonomics. Neglecting this demand can significantly affect either the task completion or the level of comfort to achieve it. However, the…
Full teleoperation of mobile robots during the execution of complex tasks not only demands high cognitive and physical effort but also generates less optimal trajectories compared to autonomous controllers. However, the use of the latter in cluttered and dynamically varying environments is still an…
