During the co-presence of human workers and robots, measures are required to avoid injuries from undesired contacts. Capacitive Proximity Sensors (CPSs) offer a cost-effective solution to cover the entire robot manipulator with fast close-range perception for HRC tasks, closing the perception gap be…

With the availability of small system in package realizations, radar systems become more and more attractive for a variety of applications in robotics, in particular also for collaborative robotics. As the simulation of robot systems in realistic scenarios has become an important tool, not only for…
Applying Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to complex tasks in the field of robotics has proven to be very successful in the recent years. However, most of the publications focus either on applying it to a task in simulation or to a task in a real world setup. Although there are great examples of co…
For intelligent robots sharing their workspace with humans, a reliable robot perception is mandatory. Moreover, the ease of interaction between a human and a robot in a shared workspace is indispensable. We propose a touchless motion guidance based on 2-D spatial information from a capacitive tomogr
We present a novel approach of active object categorization based on an iterative Bayesian method using capacitive sensing during object manipulation. The approach uses a novel type of capacitive sensor, which can measure internal properties of materials that are inaccessible to vision or tactile se…
